Meal Plan Week 2

Happy Monday lovelies! I had a nice relaxing, but productive weekend. Saturday, E and I cooked up some stretched ground beef for the freezer, and rented some movies to watch. We chose The Giver and Lone Survivor, both were really good. Lone Survivor was so sad though. It breaks my heart to think that each of those guys killed left behind a family. The end of the movie with the pictures of the actual men? I was bawling. Just gonna throw out a big THANK YOU to all of the men and women in our armed forces out there doing what you do to keep us safe.

On Sunday we hosted a dinner party with a bunch of our friends. We managed to fit 13 people around our table for dinner! The theme was comfort food, so we feasted on kielbasa pigs in a blanket, pizza pull apart bread, grilled cheese bites and tomato soup shooters, fried chicken, mini chicken pot pies, pork mac and cheese, cheddar and sour cream mashed potatoes, Nutella brownies, and peanut butter cookies. Of course there was wine and beer. While the snow fell, we finished our evening proving ourselves terrible human beings with the game Cards Against Humanity.

I'm ready to get back on track with my healthy eating this week, although I was careful not to go overboard with our ridiculously decadent comfort food dinner. Here's the game plan for dinners this week. Although I'm purposefully leaving one meal out. I wanted to make chicken and dumplings for a dinner, and the recipe calls for shredded chicken. I thought I had some frozen, but the package I pulled out to thaw looks suspicious. I'm really not certain what's inside because I didn't put a label on it. So once it thaws and I can tell if it's a chicken carcass or shredded chicken I'll decide if I'm making chicken and dumplings or pork chops.

Oh! I almost forgot. I'm participating in something called Weigh In Wednesdays. Every Wednesday morning, before breakfast, I'll be stepping on the scale. Last week I was down 1lb. I was honestly a little disappointed with that number, given all the hard work I did, but I need to remember that this isn't a race. Every pound that comes off is a success. Here's to another week of hard workouts and healthy eating. Good luck on your journeys this week!
