Hello all! Super excited to be home and have our schedule back to normal. I am going to work on some sort of menu after I get the house back in order and have a few minutes to sit down and make a plan. I did make extra rice with dinner last night and we bagged the leftovers up and put them in the freezer so that we can use them for quick meals. I also think that I am going to cook all the ground beef that we have in the freezer and re-freeze it so that I can use it in quick recipes too.
So, being home is great and I have had the opportunity to eat with my family and cook for them which is very important to me.
Breakfast: Instant oatmeal and two slices of toast with jelly. I shared the oatmeal with Olivia and she ate a lot of it so I didn't get a full serving but I was still okay.
Snack:Granola square thing with peanut butter on it. I think it is the same thing that Katie can't stay out of only hers have dark chocolate on them.
Lunch: Turkey sandwich on white bread, sugar snap peas and two handfuls of original Lay's Potato chips.
Snack: Pudding cup with two graham cracker squares.
Dinner: Chinese noodles (spaghetti with pork, hard boiled egg, green onion and cream soup) and one ear of corn on the cob. I have to confess that even though I had the option of spray "butter", I opted for the real stuff on my corn but I used less than I normally do.
Snack: A few too many vanilla wafer cookies... I took the box, never a good plan for me.
I did a lot better with the water today! I drank 64 oz. of water and only 20 oz. of diet Pepsi! An improvement for me.
Thanks for the ideas for meal planning. I just need to get it organized. We are really trying hard to set a good example for our little one that is just starting to eat and to be more healthy ourselves while we are at it.
Oh, I also want you to know that I passed by the Ben and Jerry's at Target today, did not buy a rice crispy treat at the snack bar and ignored the candy bars at the check out. Pretty proud of myself today!
