Week Ahead #2
>> Sunday, October 11, 2009
In my post just before this, I talked about the week ahead- money plans and workout schedule. I also mentioned how I want to reign in my unhealthy splurges in diet that have been sneaking their way in the past two weeks.
Kelly kindly encouraged me in her comment to start a meal plan. She's one smart chick and as most of you know, this is something my hubby and I do every week. On Sunday evening, we create a meal plan for the whole week then head to the grocery store based on what we need. On Sunday nights and Mondays, our pantry and fridge look amazing! Stocked with fresh fruits and vegetables and whatever else we needed for the whole week. But by Friday or Saturday, it's bare bones! It looks as if we don't eat and if my mother-in-law ever swung by, God forbid she'd accuse me of not feeding her son.
Since I listed my workout schedule for the week, I thought I'd list my meal plan too!

Until tomorrow,

Man, you guys are so organized! I hate planning meals, and pretty much eat spontaneously, which is not a good thing, since half the time when Jerry asks, "What do you want for dinner?" I answer, "Food."
Do you guys plan for snacks too? I don't know about you, but if I don't have a snack sometime around 10:30 and then one sometime around 3 pr 4, any meal planning I do is thrown out the window. I know you've mentioned apples and string cheese as snacks before, but I just wonder if you plan for midday snacks as well.
I've been doing meal planning before grocery shopping too. It's really helped me stay within my budget because I try to plan meals from what I have available, adding other food as needed. So far (2 weeks in, lol!!) I'm doing well with it. :)
