    I love your run 2x/week and plan meals ahead of time. I create weekly meal menu's each Sunday so that way it helps with grocery shopping and also that last minute bad food decisions. Maybe we should start sharing our meal list each week:)

    YES! I also make a menu for the week - so I can see where I will be eating out or having "high calorie risks". I then work out extra hard to try to make up for whatever social events are planned during the weekdays/weekends. I would love to see what your "menu" consists of. Mine includes a lot of recipes off MyRecipes.com - especially Cooking Light.

    Our family dinner menu for the week is below, the days may get switched around however the meals will stay the same.

    M-BBQ Beef & Vegetable Kabobs & Garden Salad & Fresh corn
    T-Swiss Chalet family whole chicken dinner with salads (its our take out day, healthier alternative to pizza, lol)
    W-Buffalo Chicken stirfry
    T-Black Bean Quesadillas with Sweet Chilli Sauce
    F-Pork Chops with Feta & olives
    S-Sirloin steak, fresh corn, salad
    S-Teriyaki beef stir fry

    Where I live there is a company called Dashing dishes, and its basically a company that you can get meals assembled and placed in ziplock bags and then you just cook the day of. This month I have to work out of the home during the day so my husband and I are using this company. They have all the nutritional information on their website so it makes my life simple. We use this company during busy months or weeks. Very reasonable in price as well and great fresh ingredients. And it beats eating processed food.
