The Healthy Tales

Posts Tagged ‘menus’

This week is shaping up to be a lazy one so I’m hoping to turn that around before I get to work this morning.  Mike is in Beaumont again which leaves me home alone with no motivation.  I have a few mid-week deadlines for work as well which means by the time I get home I have a feeling I won’t want to do much.  I am going to set some mini goals though to try and combat that.

First goal: Go to the gym twice this week by myself.  I hate going to the gym and I hate even more going to the gym without Mike.  It is just lonely and boring.  I stepped on the scale this morning and didn’t like what I saw so I think I need to get over this attitude.

Second goal:  Eat healthy meals this week, do not give in to junk food at work and unplanned happy hours.  Do not create happy hours at home with the Magic Bullet (yup I have the As Seen on TV product) even though it creates great margaritas.  Sounds like a reasonable goal.

My menu for this week to help accomplish goal #2:

Monday – Lunch: shrimp alfredo lean cuisine, fresh fruit, yogurt,

Dinner: grilled chicken, asparagus, fresh pineapple

Tuesday – Lunch: tortilla crusted fish lean cuisine, fresh pineapple, yogurt

Dinner:  crawfish etouffee, asparagus, small salad

Wednesday – Lunch: jambalaya, fresh fruit, yogurt

Dinner: grilled chicken, small salad

Thursday: lunch: Chicken parmigiana lean pocket, fresh fruit, yogurt

Dinner: Grilled Chicken salad

Friday: lunch: Chicken parmigiana lean pocket, fresh fruit, yogurt

Dinner: Homemade pizza

Saturday: lunch: beef taquitos

Dinner: BBQ shrimp and pineapple skewers
