Well 3 days in and I am coping better than I thought I would went and got grocery's today and surprisingly healthy food did not cost the earth mind you I did not have much meat as Brad pointed out healthy gets exy when you have to buy extra lean cuts of meat mince etc and since I only brought chicken will see when I get the meat later in the week.

We had this awesome pasta dish for dinner recipe out of the 5 min meals WW cook book it was supposed to have smoked salmon but since kids and brad don't eat it I changed the fish to smoked chicken breast and added semi dried tomatoes gosh it was yummy here is the recipe I had to rework the points total out since I changed the recipe .

50-60 g of Semi Dried Tomatoes ( 97% fat free version from woollies Deli )

POINTS VALUE per serve 6

Easy peasy super quick and the kids loved it,

I gave Kids and Brad each a piece of bread to go with it :) as it wouldn't quite feed all 5 of us without the bread with it so next time I will buy an extra packet of pasta and take a third out and freeze the rest.

Another bonus of this whole diet is that I am actually cooking from cookbooks no more having the same old meals all the time so its actually quite fun picking something to cook for the next night I actually look forward to dinner :)
