Yesterday was insane (for me) and I actually felt sick in the night because of it. Usually I do not have any problems like that, but woof. It was not my norm and I now understand when people here talk about "paying for it" when they don't eat as well as usual.

Lunch: small portion sesame chicken with extra broccoli and steamed rice

Snack: large boutique cupcake, Boston Cream Pie w/ filling. It was a birthday "gift" from the bakery I'd almost allowed to expire. Delicious but honestly too sweet and rich.

Last March I decided to stop eating out 3-5 times a week because it became clear that the excess of fat, salt and sugar was adversely affecting my weight loss. In doing so decided to make my meals a little more easier by eating the same meal the same day of the week. So here is what I do:

Monday: Salmon, vegetables and a fruit cup.
(We have fallen in love with sweet potatoes, I love chopping up brussel sprouts, sweet peppers, medley tomatoes, garlic cloves, spaghetti squash etc)

Tuesday: White bean ground turkey chili and a fruit cup (I add a 1/4 cup of quinoa because I love that stuff!)

Wednesday: Chicken, vegetables and a fruit cup

Thursday: Pasta and a fruit cup (hubby has thin pasta and I have orzo pasta).

Friday: Homemade cheese Pizza and a fruit cup.

Saturday: Chicken drummets and a fruit cup. I make BBQ/Honey for my hubby and lemon/cilantro for me😊.

Sunday: My hubby has shrimp, vegetables and a fruit cup. I eat items that I’ve meal prepped during the week like chili from Tuesday or pasta from Thursday

My breakfast varies between a yogurt drink high in protein or a slice of Dave’s Killer bread w/PB or oatmeal/Oaty Milk/PB and Chia seeds (I love this oatmeal!). I also love scrapple (but I make sure to keep it at two ounces per serving) and of course a good egg!

We head to the gym Monday through Friday and pack our lunch in a small cooler which is great. Lunch for me is more of making sure I have good protein. That could be Fairlite Chocolate Milk (which I love), a Wella Bar, cottage cheese, Dave’s Killer Bread etc (and grapes). I also love the Orchard Valley Trail Mix packs (especially the antioxidant mixed nuts/cranberries) which I drop in my purse. On Saturday/Sunday I ride my bike and pack a little lunch to take with me. The bike trails are beautiful!

I know it may sound crazy/repetitive but it has helped take the “oh my goodness, what are we having for dinner” stress out of it all. I’m able to plug in what I will eat including snacks and try to leave 500 calories a day (3500 a week...one pound a week). God knows I have my days as we all do but I start again and appreciate it as another chance to do better.

Of course when I go on vacation (we just enjoyed a short one) I eat what I want and enjoy.

There are times I’ve found recipes I absolutely love and I make those (I’ve found a few on MFP). I love MFP because you can include the recipe link in MFP and all the ingredients pop up or you can scan in all the ingredients. The app allows you to select the number of servings and there you have it.
