Meal Plan Weeks 2 and 3

I decided to go ahead and get a jump start on my meal plans for the next few weeks. I have done pretty well this week on sticking to the plan even though I have wanted to not cook a few days. This has been really good for my family so far as well. It has given us a chance to sit down each night and have dinner as a family. I know this will be hard as they get older due to sports and activities they are going to have.

The meals are below with links to each recipe. If there is not a link and you want the recipe just let me know. The big part of this is I am trying to stick to clean eating as much as I can and stay away from processed foods for the most part. This will also save us money by not going out to eat.

Week 2 (January 6-13)

Sunday: Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup with the stock from the whole chicken from Saturday
Monday: Buffalo Chicken Mac N Cheese
Tuesday: Crockpot Chili with corn, black beans and ground turkey
Wednesday: Broiled Lemon Pepper Talapia with Veggies

Week 3 (January 14-20)

Monday: Red Hot Fusilli
Tuesday: Steak Salad with Mixed Baby Greens
Wednesday: Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken
Thursday: Chicken, Apple and Caramelized Onion Sandwiches with Parsnip Fries
Friday: Winter Vegetable Stew with Butter Lettuce Salad
Saturday: Quinoa Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes, Salmon and Black Olives
Sunday: Oven Broiled BBQ Chicken with Roasted Fingerling Potatoes


I am also doing pretty good with working out. This week was a little different because the kids are out of school and Tuesday was a holiday. My plan is to go Monday for core and spin, Tuesday for spin, Wednesday for spin, Friday for core and spin. I may go Thursday some weeks but I plan on that being my off days and I can run errands or just have me time while the kids are at school.

I am hoping all this will get those 15 pounds off I would like to lose or more importantly get me back into the jeans I wore after I had Zach. My main goal is for a healthier me and to teach my kids how to live a healthy life and stay active.
