That's it for now. Pretty light week this week. I bought alot last week so I'm not really in need for much. It's all about the coupons/sales.

I always have beans on my list, especially if they're on sale (10 cans for $6 last week, WHAT?!), diced tomatoes, eggs, veggie burgers, fruit (red pears are my fave, and honeycrisp apples!, and white nectarines when they're in season), avocados when they're on sale (because that's when they're perfectly ripe!), and Light n Fit Greek Yogurt (80 calories with 12g protein, yum!) or cottage cheese.

After that, we sit down and meal plan on Saturday/Sunday then buy ingredients for those specific meals. I usually will make a big batch of some kind of soup or chili and portion it into tupperwares so I can just throw it in my lunch box for work during the week, with a few extras because Hubs will sneak some...Since it's just the two of us, we usually plan 2-3 dinner meals for the week, knowing that there will be enough leftovers for the rest of the week and that we'll probably eat out once with friends or for date night.

Whenever frozen fish or shrimp is on sale, we stock up as well. That when, when we're meal planning, we can look in the freezer to see what we already have and go from there. Last week, orange roughy filets were on sale 2-for-1 (OMG!) so we bought two bags, and a few weeks ago 2lb bags of large shrimp were on sale 2-for-1, so we've got a LOT of seafood in the freezer....that's what will direct our shopping this week!

Actually, pasta was on sale last week, too....and I have a few cans of tomatoes in the pantry...hm...sounds like we're going to do a spicy shrimp pasta this week! I'll buy a bag of spinach and maybe some spring peas to throw in and BAM! That's 2-3 days' worth of dinner right there!

Right now the list is; Lactose free whole milk for toddlers, soy milk, yogurt, hummus, bell peppers, bananas, berries, cucumbers, avocado, lemons, limes and mushrooms.

My essentials always include fresh fruits and vegetables, canned tomatoes, and an ungodly amount of beans because you can put then in almost anything!

My goals each day are to have between 1200-1300 Calories, 60-80 g Protein, and 20-30 g Fiber. Obviously the protein and fiber increases with my exercise.
