Menu

The good news is that the meals we already make really aren't that unhealthy- we just eat waaay too much of it (and probably have too much red meat, but that doesn't factor into WW). Then of course are the desserts, which I can pretty much never turn down, and snacks after I should be done eating for the day. This all goes out the window when getting a quick or special dinner out of course.

Michael was worried about me starting WW, b/c he specifically asked me if we were going to have to start eating special, diet food. I said, no, I just need to eat less of what we do make, and we may need to modify a few ingredients with lower fat options. But overall, he shouldn't be affected in the slightest! Our menu this week is no different than any other.

So far we have had:
spaghetti with meat sauce (made my own with 93% ground beef, which we always buy anyway) home made pizza (lower fat than frozen or restuarant varieties and I opted for only mushrooms on my side while M could add pepperoni to his)
shepherd's pie (again lean beef and fat free cheese).
Tonight we will have grilled pork chops- they are very lean except for a layer of fat on the outside, which I don't like anyway, plus we all know grilling is a great low fat way to cook!
later in the week:
crockpot chicken with salsa and black beans, served over rice- made with boneless skinless chicken breast
a roasted (in crockpot) pork loin
bruschetta chicken bake

In other news- I have finally gotten 4 days of the 30 day shred under my belt! Not really getting easier yet though. I think I might start investigating other options on the "excercise on demand" channel, because there is tons of stuff, and 30 DS just isn't "blowing my skirt up" as Michael says. (yes he should probably be embarrassed that that is one of his sayings). Maybe kickboxing, b/c I have always liked that pretty well!

Doing well with points again today, I have 1/3 of my total left to use for supper!
