With the busy summer starting I've been awful about planning meals. Luckily all my test results for gestational diabetes have been really well and weight gain has been decent, however, I want to keep it that way with healthy choices and I don't think I've been really doing that well. Not awful, but not great :-) This week isn't really super thought out in terms of optimal health but here's what I got. Will be working to do better in the following weeks.
M: Grilled Tri Tips, Roasted Potatoes & Salad (would love some chimmichurri sauce to go with it but I don't have all the herbs at home and I don't want to do another grocery run :-p)
T: Pork Chops, Rice and Salad or Veg
W: Stuffed Shells with Meatballs and Salad or Veg
R: Leftovers?
F: Something quick and easy since husband will be gone for the weekend and it's just me and kids
S: Probably at my parents house after a local carnival with the kids
S: Not sure since I'll be picking up my husband from the airport so either random leftovers or something on the road.
M- meatloaf, mashed potatoes, cole slaw T- blackened cod, polenta, avocado salad W- filets w chimicurri, baked potato, asparagus Th- mango sriracha chicken, quinoa, salad F- food truck Friday at the winery - Mediterranean and a hot dog truck this week! Weekend- hopefully spending some time out using the grill!
Lunches will be turkey taco bowls w lime brown rice, corn and pico de Gallo. Breakfasts are cherry blueberry coconut overnight oats. Just finished a batch of hard boiled eggs for snacks and this week is shaping up!
Now if only I could explain why I gained 2 lb in the 4 weeks between appointments while eating pizza and fries, but gained 10 lb in the 4 weeks while meal planning every meal every day? 🤷🏼♀️😫
M: Chicken soft tacos T: Beef with Broccoli W: Cordon Bleu and rice Th: H is at a work function so DS and I will probably have a date night at Noodles and Co. F: Pizza or Wings
