This was our first full week of watching our weight. Notice, I am trying not to use the word “Dieting” That is such a negative word in my mind. So, we are managing our weight at the McMullen household. Just to keep myself accountable and share how we are doing this, let me give you my last week’s report card.
- Did the wii fitness plus 4 times last week.
- Only ate out 1 time the whole week and when I did eat out, it was a chef salad at Jason’s Deli.
- Kept celery, carrots and cucumbers along with sharp cheddar cheese chopped and available for that crunchy snack urge.
- Cut my soda intake down to 1/2 and increased my water intake. Goal is to be off sodas by next week. (going slowly to avoid headaches)
Eating out as you know if you have been reading my site, is something that we just budget for on a monthly basis. We all enjoy eating out. Well, since basketball has started and we are always on the go, we have been eating more fast food then ever. Both Gregg and I felt our health declining faster in the past few months. We always felt tired, sleepy,and no energy. The only thing that I could figure out is our eating habits had gotten out of control and we needed to take back control and eat healthy. I felt like the guy that did the movie Super size that was about eating McDonalds for every meal.
It has required me to plan my meals and also have the will power to stick to the plan. It is so easy just to run through a drive through and grab something. But for the health of my entire family, we must bring family meals back!
How are you doing? Do you have your weight under control? If you have some ideas to share, leave a comment.
this next week is again full of games, but I have a game plan…..
- Sunday, cook a whole turkey with steamed green bean, baked potatoes and salad.
- Monday lunch: Turkey slices and brie cheese with celery sticks
- Monday Supper: Beef roast with carrots (for the kids, not Gregg and I) and sweet potatoes
- Tuesday lunch: Hard boiled egg, 2 slices of bacon, and 2 cups of lettuce with cheddar cheese
- Tuesday Supper: Pork chops, steamed green beans and asparagus. Rolls for the kids.
- Wednesday lunch: Turkey & chicken sandwich meat roll ups. Lettuce & Cheese rolled in the sandwich meat. Celery and Dip
- Wednesday Supper: tacos & Burritos. Shells for the kids, naked tacos for Gregg and I. (without the shell)
- Thursday Lunch: Vegetable soup. Garden salad.
- Thursday Supper: Grilled Chicken, Butternut Squash Fries & Steamed broccoli.
- Friday Lunch: Cottage Cheese, Tomato and Lettuce Wrapped in turkey
- Friday Supper: Small steaks, Brussels Sprouts, Wax beans and Jello
- Saturday: Not sure about this day yet but it will be probably left over day and finish up what was left from the week’s cooking.
Have a great week.
