Weigh in

up 1lb to 219
Totally expected as I binged on stouffers french bread pizzas (2 boxes in one weekend)
and also thought that maybe I was retaing water because of my weight training class.. so I used that excusse to just keep eating crap... like the whole bag of chips I ate last night..

I did this to myself.. so i am the only one to blame.. I know what I should be eating and I have taken the steps to meet my goals this week

Breakfasts: oatmeal (packets, not clean, but oh well), fresh/frozen fruit (strawberries, banana, blue berries, soy milk.. might do smoothies but the protein powder I have is getting boring

lunch ... salads.. with chicken, olives, avacado, light asian sesame dressing ... grapes

snacks.. orange, almonds

dinner.. still have some turkey burgers, turkey chili...also have black beans.. may do tacos... all with big bowl of veggies...


I'm trying to be a little more strict with myself.. just for awhile.. If I have too many options then I get in trouble.. I need some guidelines in place.. but I also need to make myself be accountable.. no one else will do this for me...

If you fail to plan... you plan to Fail

For the first time EVER I have made a menu plan for the week. I've even put it into sparkpeople for the week... at least up until Dinner.. I have to figure out calories and what not for those still.. but at least I know what I will be eating every day.

For someone who claims to like to be organized... this is organization beyond what I have ever done. I even cut up all my veggies for the week.. washed grapes and made individual servings. My yogurts are the dannon cups.. which I can't wait to get through because, Surprise Surprise! they are too sugary!

It may seem like a simple plan for the week.. but that's what works for me. I get home so late during the week that I really need the weekends to get ahead as much as possible. I also have a roommate and we eat dinner around the same time which also means we cook around the same time. I have issues sharing food, so no, I will not cook with her.. plus she doesn't eat what I eat..

Here is my weeks plan.. just for me to refer back to.. but If it helps you figure some things out.. that's great too!

Here's to an AWESOME week... I can feel it already! ; )

EDIT: I will be uploading another blog post about my meal plan as I have just learned you can upload from word to blogger.. Sweet!
