Today is my weekly weigh in, and if you follow me on facebook and twitter you already know what the verdict is, but if not then here we go..drum roll please..I lost 1 lb this week. Of course this is not a huge number but as you know I do not strive for big numbers every week so I am happy with the slow and steady pace of one pound a week. To keep that pace going my menu plan is going to stay between 1300 – 1500 calories a day. Breakfasts and lunches are going to be pretty boring this week but I will perk it up at dinner time.
Prepared ahead of time:
Black bean and taco mixture is prepared and frozen.
Brown rice has been cooked and is being stored in the fridge.
Chicken curry is prepared and frozen.
Linguini and clam sauce is prepared and frozen.
Hummus is prepared and being stored in fridge.
In addition to working hard on my menu plan this weekend I was also working hard on blog posts for this week. Here is what you have to look forward to.
