No sentence in the English language describes my weight loss failures more than
this quote from Ben Franklin. I can't tell you how many times I haven't
planned for my meals, didn't pack my lunch, didn't thaw out meat,
didn't go grocery shopping, didn't have a grab-n-go breakfast...I could
go on and on.
In fact, it happened to me this past weekend. I've gotten better at
meal planning but I still find myself in a bind too often. Half the
time its from me falling asleep on the couch which is a whole other
problem that I don't even have the energy to talk about at the moment.
I try to make a few meals on Sunday for the whole week when I have
the time. This week I didn't quite get there. I did make a sesame
chicken recipe in the crock pot, paired it with some brown rice and had
some rockin' lunch. But, my snacks and my lunch were low on the fruits
and veggies side of things.
I had a few minutes this evening to put together a meal plan for
the week and figured what better way to hold myself accountable than to
share it with you!

leave the weekend off but the truth is I need the weekend in my planning
more than anything.
