    I thought it was a bit crazy to do at first too, but it really isn't that hard. Last week I tried something different and it worked well. On Sunday, I planned basically what I wanted to eat for my meals each day. That took about 1/2 an hour but it cut my entering time during the week way down. I just checked each morning what I was supposed to eat & it gave me some guidelines. It also made it really easy on Monday to do my shopping and I only needed to make 1 other trip during the week for fresh vegies. Gotta save some gas $ some where :cry:

    You can do it!

    Curliegirl, what a great idea, plan the meals ahead of time.. If something changes in the day, still easy to adjust. Thanks for sharing ! :smile:
