Meal Plan – Week 6

7 Replies

I have to admit, I have not been doing a great job the last couple of weeks. So, I am re-assessing and to try and stay as much on track as possible, a couple of allowances have been added. This is to ensure I am keeping to the right food options, at least 80-90% of the time (that’s the goal anyway right :-), allowances are denoted with the ^).

I have also added my exercise commitment for the week.

DAY BREAKFAST DINNER EXERCISE
Sunday Oatmeal with Grated Apple + Sultana’s Roast Chicken dinner with roast vegetables and steamed greens 3-4 Mile Walk
Monday Oatmeal with Banana and Almond butter Vegetable Baked Pasta
Tuesday Whole Grain Cereal with Soy ^Shepherd’s Pie (my husband’s favorite meal) 3-4 Mile Walk
Wednesday Fruit + Flax Seed Pizza* (Vegetarian restaurant meal)
Thursday Whole Grain Cereal with Soy Omelets
Friday Oatmeal with Banana and Almond butter ^Carbonara+Quinoa Spaghetti 3-4 Mile Walk

*The family is having Pizza, I am traveling so will be trying to eat a vegan/Vegetarian meal out.

What are you all eating?

Finish it up Friday

4 Replies

It definitely was a “Finish it up Friday” (linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts)

Professionally:
I was flat out all week with work, as my team and I had a major project deadline today. Good news, we got it done.

At home:
Our house is back to normal  – all the damage from the burst water pipe, last week, was completed today!!!

Now, for my craft projects:
Obviously, I did not have much time this week but I did get 1/2 way through one of my February goals  – I completed two sets of quilted pot holders (my goal is to do 4). The Blue teapot set is now available on my etsy store. So, even though it is a small finish I am happy to have completed something in my list of craft projects for February.

I have several projects on-going for this week’s work in progress – most of them relate to my February goals. I am linking up with Freshly Pieced.

WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced

#3 – 4 sets of Potholders:
I am still working on finishing the set of two pot holders. The chicken ones are completed (and being sent to ClumsyKristel this week) and the blue teapot ones are closer to being finished.

#5 – Triple Zipper Pouch Tutorial (at A Quilters Table)
I wanted to complete a triple zipper pouch, well I have finally decided on my fabrics (Les Amis Fabrics by Patti Sloniger for Michael Miller) and zippers (Red-brown, Taupe, and Orange-Pink).IMG_0855

Finally a project not on my February goals – Our chapter of the Modern Quilt Guild started the Madrona Road Challenge this week, and I finally have the fabric. I am so excited to get started I have been seeing so many great projects. I know the design I want to try, and it should involve my #6 goal for trying paper piecing. I will be trying to also design my own template….ambitious you might say since I have never paper pieced – well we will see :-). If the blocks turn out I will be sharing the idea and the templates (paper pieced) /designs (for non-paper pieced blocks)IMG_0862
