This week's work
Weight: down 1.4 lbs from last week; 1.4 lbs total
Exercise this week: minimal. Walked about a mile yesterday running errands, but haven't been doing any big exercising because of my knee. Have been doing my knee exercises and stretches; switched into my new shoes, so hoping that helps.
Eating: A bit of emotional eating, but think I've set things up better for this coming week. I just don't do as well with my eating when I'm just home, alone, bored. I will do better when I'm working and have something to keep me busy--it's just too easy to sit around and eat when I don't have anything else to do!
Menu plan for week 2:
Monday: Meatballs & rice, green beans
Tuesday: Balsamic Chicken, frozen veggie
Wednesday: BBQ Chili
Thursday: Breakfast burrito
Friday: ? Temple night...
Saturday: Indian food lunch (restaurant) with JoAnna and Lindsey, so apple or small snack for dinner instead of for lunch
Sunday: Puff pancake if not too hot, otherwise, leftover from some other meal (if I have something, otherwise, something from freezer)
Anyway, I'm hoping that this week is better than last week. Writing down the menu, I realize how little I have in the way of quick things planned to eat. If I'm going to eat something from the crockpot, I really need to cook it on the weekends and freeze it, because I will be at work for too long to leave something in the morning and come home to it, I think.
Do you have any easy, healthy meals that I can throw together really quickly? What kinds of veggies should I be looking for as far as fresh produce goes? And where is the cheapest place to buy canned green beans (remembering that I'm a green bean snob)?
A tip for the crock pot: If I know I need more time, I cook things on low and try to put FROZEN foods into the crock pot. That seems to help. I'll look for some of my skillet dinner recipes and send those to you - they usually cook up in a snap and don't make much mess either. You are doing AWESOME!!
