Sunday night check in and menu planning
We went away for the weekend and I had no cell service. We were camping at Bon Echo- what a beautiful park. I went on a 40 minute bike ride and a half hour hike while there- I am keeping my fingers crossed that this may have given me the incentive to get back into exercising.
When I first found out I had no cell (pc) service, I was bothered. I thought I really needed to be here and read and talk in order to keep me on track. Also, I wouldn't be able to record my food and know my calories and protein etc. BUT, I didn't need to necessarily. I was able to keep on track and be at peace with my choices. I knew I would check in when I got back and I would be able to join back in. I thought about my choices, I planned my food and I felt so good about it.
It really has been a while since I have been so conscious and aware. It feels so good to once again feel the control. I NEED this- both physically and mentally.
How was your weekend? Do you feel good about your choices?
I am going to get back into menu planning to try to keep on track, to be prepared and to set myself up to succeed.
Suppers for the week (tentatively)
-pork tenderloin, sweet potato, roasted peppers
-fish chowder
-chicken caesar salad
-spaghetti with meat sauce
-egg salad wraps
I will have dreamfield pasta with my spaghetti, and only couple of potato chunks in my chowder.
I was thinking about shrimp alfredo but don't want to have two pasta dishes in the same week. I will plan that in for next week.
Is anyone else doing menus these days?
Should I put up a separate thread for it? I know we use to and it was helpful for some of us.
Let's have a great week and set ourselves up to succeed.
We can do it- we can!!!

Hi Jen, it is a beautiful park, we have camped there too. We love Arrowhead Park in Huntsville, just love it there to pieces! I don't camp this late in the year, I would freeze. lol.
It sounds like you are getting control and it must feel good. I can't wait to have my "tool" so it can help me as well. It sounds like you are being very accountable to yourself and planning is great and I think very important.
Keep up the good work.

Ok trying to get back on track myself so I hope you don't mind if I join you!! was all set this morning to start up with my protein shakes, made a yummy pumpkin pie shake took one sip YUCK dumped it down the sink LOL. Not sure why, thinking my protein powder may be expired. At least I hope that's it. Anyway here is my menu plan...
Beef stew.(crockot) Craving dumpling so may go and see if I can find some the low carb Bisquick somewhere.
Garlic Cheddar chicken with quinoa and veggies
9 bean soup with ground beef and salad(crockpot0
Stovetop lasagna and salad( need to find some Dreamfield. Used my last box up)
That is all I have planned at the moment. I need to work on my lunches and snacks. I need to keep more protein packed snacks in the house and stay clear of the carby food that I love.
