Mealtime Monday

I've successfully been eating slow-carb for one whole week! Last Monday and Tuesday I felt like trash thanks to my body detoxing from carbs, but by Wednesday I felt great! I've had more energy on less sleep. I'm not intending to sleep less, but I haven't felt like I couldn't survive without a nap and I've been waking earlier simply because my body has rested and is ready to go. Jen willingly awake before 7am is unheard of people.

So I hate to tell you this, but there is nothing interesting about the food we are eating now. Everyday is pretty much the same....every meal....meat/legumes/veggies or legumes/veggies/meat or sometimes veggies/meat/legumes!

I'll give you a rundown none the less:

Monday: Stir Fry night
Lots of veggies, bean sprouts, water chestnuts

and teryaki chicken and pork

Tuesday: Chicken nuggets for the kids/grilled for grownups

Mac and cheese for the kids'

Salad and Black beans

Wednesday:

Likely a tuna salad with a ridiculous amount of veggies and beans

Thursday:

Taco night (taco salad for me)

Refried beans

Friday:

Date night--mexican food. the hardest part is saying the words "no chips"

Saturday:

This is eat whatever I want day....I'll be making a list. Also this will probably all be eating out so that there are no leftovers of forbidden food in my house come Sunday morning. This weekend I ate my fill of tortillas and queso from Taco Cabana, pizza, jelly beans and ice cream. I never got around to my chips and salsa...which surprisingly I didn't miss all that much!

Sunday:

Burgers or Tuna burgers or something easy.

We also will fire up the grill and cook all our meat for the upcoming week. This makes lunch SO much easier!
