Well today I have not yet tackled any exercise, but I'm hoping that inspiration will strike me after I'm done in the house. I've done 2 loads of laundry and have been to the store for my fruits & veg for this coming week. Now, to complete the plan, I have a lot of cooking, roasting and preparation to do.
Weeeeeee!!!!!
On the cooking list today:
1. Massive butternut squash Mac&Cheese (double recipe - that stuff freezes well)*
2. Pumpkin pudding (1 weight watchers point per serving!)
3. Roasted brussle sprouts
Snack Packing done:
1. Activia Apple&grain yogurt x6 1/3c
2. 1% cottage cheese x6 1/3c
3. Baby carrots x3 baggies
4. Snap peas x7 baggies
5. Strawberries x2 1c (these are fresh and I topped them and put them in a Ziploc container, I can't wait to get at them!!)
5. Oatmeal/protein powder/flax seed baggies x4
6. 1oz swiss cheese & 1 slice Deli ham roll-up's x4

*note...Mr.K was asking about what size of BNS to get... I advised that I need one about 10inches long and quite thick. Much snickering followed!! When will we grown up? NEVARRRR
So there we have it - I have NO excuses for not getting in good healthy foods for this week. There is lots of great foods that require a little steaming and then are ready for eating.
Foods are made and ready for my lunches, snacks and dinners. I was quite proud yesterday morning that I ate the last orange in the dish - and NONE went bad or had to be tossed out. I've noticed that my fridge - though fuller of greens then ever before has not become a place where veggies go to die. I'm looking at what is in there each night and using the foods that need to be eaten instead of saying, "eff this, I'm ordering pizza".
Speaking of pizza, I was thinking back to last year at this time, my Friday night was "treat night" for me and this is typically what I would have. 1 large double peperoni pizza thin crust (2,800 cal), 2 diet cokes (2 cal), and 1 tub of peanutbutter tracks Ben&Jerry's ice cream (1,440 cal). I can NOT even imagine being able to finish all that anymore. That is 4,242 calories.
HOLY CALORIES BATMAN! Thats 2 days worth of food for me now consumed in one meal - totally under the radar, eaten without even thinking. And not a single nutrient to be found. You want to know what else is funny - I was wondering why my clothes were getting tighter. Its amazing what you can do without even thinking. EVERY Friday... pizza & ice cream night....what a mess!
I'm so glad that I've started changing my life. :)

Wow how awesome to be so organized for the upcoming week! Can only be successful with that kind of commitment :)
It is pretty amazing to see how far we have come whether over the course of a month, year or years!
The snack packing is amazing and cooking ahead of time always sets one up for success!
I'm hoping its going to help cut out on the mindless eating - or if I do... it won't be the BAD stuff. :)
its also great so that I know in advance how much I'm consuming - I can easily eat 3 or 4 servings of something if I'm just spooning it into a bowl or eating it out of the box!
((Hi Melting Lisa! welcome welcome!))
all your food sounds divine!!!!!!
OH MY GOSH...Friday night is always pizza night in this house and this week, everyone had plans so we didn't get it....but I don't know that my kids will let that tradition die forever! Pizza is a definite weakness!!
You have some AWESOME food planned for the week! Can you share the pumpkin pudding recipe?
And thanks so much for stopping by my journal!!!
((hugs))
