Meal plan Sunday and a new challenge

Wellll............I have fallen off the wagon big time folks. It happens to all of us right? With that being said I am back to square one!

Monday starts a new challenge I am doing with a few girls from work. 28 day challenge in fact! Here is the workout schedule we'll be following:
As you can imagine, I am SUPER nervous! This is a lot for me but I am going to do my best! In tomorrow's blog I'll post some before(don't be scared of me!) pictures and my honest to God measurements. I am thinking on my cardio days I'll do a 30 minute video at home. I have some you tube videos I really like to do. My stroll and stretch days I'll of  course stretch and take the dog for a long walk(at least a mile) 1 mile is about what I can handle right now though I am working on building up endurance! 

NOW on to the meal plan. I wanted to keep it simple this week and not have to cook every day so I am eating a lot of leftovers this week. If you know me, you know I really don't like leftovers. So I am trying to learn not to waste food and eat the darn leftovers. Here we go.....

 
Breakfast will be 2 baked eggs with bacon and a cutie orange
Snacks will be boiled eggs, lunch meat, pickles, cheese or pepperoni (whatever i feel like. 2 snacks a day)
Monday lunch is a salad with shredded chicken, cheese, french's onions, boiled egg and dressing.
Monday dinner is cheeseburger casserole

Tuesday lunch is cheeseburger casserole
Tuesday dinner is buffalo ranch meatballs with green beans

Wednesday lunch is buffalo ranch meatballs with green beans
Wednesday dinner is cheeseburger casserole

Thursday lunch is the rest of the meatballs and green beans
Thursday dinner is brocoli cheese soup and a salad

Friday lunch is brocoli cheese soup and a salad
Friday dinner is the last of the cheeseburger casserole

Saturday is brocoli cheese soup and salad
Saturday dinner is my treat out

This menu is super low carb and full of healthy fats and protein!

What are you having this week? Feel free to share my blog with your friends and family! I'd love to be able to share my meal plans with them too!
I'm back to no soda after today. I'll drink lots of water, unsweet tea and sparkling ice (flavored carbonated water)

THIS is What Happens...

This is what happens when I don't meal plan...
     I eat out too much and spend over $200 doing so. IN ONE WEEK!
     I eat WAY too many carbs and feel the side effects
     My whole week feels off.
     I don't go to Curves
     I forget to make my car payment

Legit... when I don't meal plan my whole week gets thrown off! So last week was BAD! This week I am back at it! Here we go...

I am venturing into fat bomb making! What in the world is  a fat bomb?! Let me tell you about them! Fat bombs are easy healthy snacks that are full of good fats and low in carbs and protein. Seeing as I am trying this whole low carb high fat diet, they are perfect for me! Here is the recipe I'll be making.
Strawberry Cheesecake Fat Bombs! I'll be snacking on these through out the week so  I hope they are good. There are about a bazillion different ones you can make so use Pinterest to find one that sounds good to you!

I'm planning to eat breakfast at home instead of on the go. A couple of eggs with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Some spinach and some cheese and a couple of slices of bacon!

Other snacks will be hard boiled eggs and string cheese!

Monday lunch I'll be eating out because I am training a new employee and work likes me to take him out.
Monday dinner I'll be having those Asian porkchops I posted about previously. They smelled delicious cooking in my crockpot today! I'll be eating them with green beans.
    Aldi's has the best little green beans in their frozen section! They are called mini beans or micro beans or something. But they are DELISH!

Tuesday lunch will be porkchops and beans.
Tuesday dinner will be cheesy taco skillet. You heard that. Cheesy Taco Skillet!  I love tacos and I love cheese so I'm combining them together!

Wednesday lunch will be left over taco skillet.
Wednesday dinner will be baked chicken wings and zuccini chips! Here's the recipe for the chips! Oven Baked Zuccini Chips
I haven't decided on a flavor my wings yet but I am sure it will involve garlic and buffalo sauce!

Thursday lunch will be taco skillet again. Because I expect it to be amazing!
Thursday dinner will be a cauliflower crust pizza. I've never made it before so we'll see how it goes!

Friday will hopefully be left over pizza. If not then I may need to improvise.
Friday dinner will be low carb chili! I know it's getting warm outside but I can eat chili and soups all year round! Here's the recipe I use! Low Carb Chili
Kendra from Peace Love and Low Carb really comes up with some great recipes. I have made quite a few of hers and all I can say is yummmmmmm!

Saturday will be left over chili for lunch
Dinner might also be chili but possible with some zuccini chips like nachos! We'll see.


And there you have it folks! This weeks meal plan. As always, I'd love to know if you or your family tried anything new this week!
