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.

Meal Plan – Week 2

Leave a reply

So, the first week on the plan was a little tough, especially Monday-Wednesday. I craved everything; sugar, cheese, meat and fresh bread. I managed to stay with the plan most of the time, and was happy when I found suitable options that I could eat at my favorite Friday lunch place.

I plan to pre-make some meals this week, especially for breakfast as I find it hard to make the time for it. I prefer to get the extra time in bed :-). Tonight, I am making a vegetable chill in the slow-cooker to have on hand for lunch or dinner, when I change my mind. For lunch, which I normally pick up at work, there were great options in our new cafe. It has a new global section that has a vegan/vegetarian option, it varies from stir fries to indian to mexican; there is also a great salad bar.

I plan on making dessert tonight – found several recipes for date balls which sound great. I am picking things out from several recipes and combining it into something I hope I like 😉

Here’s this weeks menu:

Day Breakfast Dinner
Saturday Vegetarian Omlete Lentil and Kale Soup
Sunday Oatmeal with grated apple + sultanas Steamed Fish and Vegetable Pockets + Quinoa
Monday Oatmeal with Banana+Unsalted Peanut Butter Stir Fry + Brown Rice
Tuesday Fruit Salad with Flax seed Curried Pumpkin Soup
Wednesday Fruit Salad with Flax seed Pizza (using FlatOut Bread instead of Whole Wheat Pita)
Thursday Oatmeal with grated apple + sultanas Vegetable Omlete
Friday Fruit Salad with Flax seed Bean Burgers + Salad
