The first week has gone well although I have been getting over a cold. Thankfully my parents had bought me ready meals to have through out the week. This was great as I did not have to worry about planning and preparing meals. When it came to lunch I had vegetable soup and bread which filled me up for most of the day until it came to dinner. Deciding what to have for dinner was not as hard as I had the ready meals. I had a cauliflower korma with brown rice and a chickpea lasagne for the first time during the week. They were okay and I was able to eat them. Although there was vegetables in it that I do not like and some I tried to see if I would like them in these dishes. Although these were handy to have and they tasted okay, I wanted to try and make my own food. By making my own food I will be able to know what is going into the meal and not add anything I do not like. This will reduce my amount of food waste which is another big problem in the world.
I noticed myself going into autopilot one of the nights when I was getting a takeaway. Normally I would get chicken on my pizza and when I was making the pizza online I put it on. It was not until I was reviewing my order that I realised what I had done and had to change it. This was not a big problem but it made me realise how much I automatically incorporate meat into my diet.
