Tonight, I am thankful for my leftover salad from lunch. My lack of meal planning often leaves us wondering what's for dinner at 6:00 when I get home, by then we are just tired and hungry and too often end up just going out to eat. I have decided to start my grocery list tonight. It's so important to plan ahead and meal plan to stay healthy. Wayne is working evenings for the rest of this week..... so I'm on cooking duty. I have decided it's hot outside, great sandwich night for the kids tonight. I will have my leftover salad from lunch.
Being blessed with 4 day work week, I have decided to take time out on Fridays to do grocery shopping and meal planning. I know if I don't plan ahead, we will end up eating out at least 2 or 3 nights of the week and it would be so much healthier for all of us to eat at home. (not to mention much cheaper)
I have been walking in the evenings, it's "HOT" but I feel so accomplished crawling into bed, after a day of being in control of food and excersize to top it off. Thank goodness I have a great friend to walk with, so conversation is good and it really makes walking much more enjoyable! I can't believe school is starting Friday for the kids, which will make meal plannnig that much more important. I have two boys in football, one high school, one jr. high, so that means football games on Monday and Friday nights. Careful planning will avoid stopping at Sonic for dinner after the game. I've never been much of a meal planner and I don't enjoy cooking. But, it's all worth it, and strange as it seems to me........I'm actually feeling excited about it. Lol! My thought for the day......"Rule your mind or it will rule you!!"
