I really don't have an update this week :-) I am missing the weekly meeting due to the Holiday weekend and lots of family plans
Just a few things though - I've learned something this time around. If I don't plan my breakfast and lunch meals for the entire week, I struggle with my eating. By plan, I mean plan completely, right down to the points when I pick out the recipes/ideas. Even snacks I want during the day and in the evening. Dinner isn't as hard especially when I keep it simple and don't make big pasta or casserole dishes. For example, last week, I REALLY enjoyed eating Fruit Loops for breakfast (yep, nice healthy Fruit Loops BUT they have more Fiber in them now :-) ). Than, about mid-morning, I had a tassimo coffee which held me over until lunch. This week I grabbed a box of cheap frozen waffles - they were really high in points. I didn't even plan my lunches so I did not eat well at all. I'm going to work on being more specific with our menu. I like to give the kids fruit every day with lunch (because they eat it and love it) so instead of justwriting down "fruit" on the grocery list I'm going to be very specific such as 3 cans of peaches (a favorite!), 6 bananas, 3 apples, etc. I also want to have my own fruit so I'm going to list my own numbers. I'd like to have 1 piece of different fruit each day.
Also, remember my challenge last week to drink more water/crystal light. After tracking it for 3 days, I discovered I drink more than the required amount every day so I'm doing better than I thought :-)
I don't have a recipe to share this week because . .. I didn't plan anything!
Hopefully next week shows good results - we'll see!
