Menu Plan Monday – 1/18/10
Posted by adminJan 18
As everybody I know is on a diet, I decided to jump on the band wagon too. Diets for me consist of watching what I eat and exercise. I like to use sparkpeople.com as a resource because it’s a great little diet site, and free fits in my budget. Today I started with my dinner menu. I’ve only listed the main courses but I have tons of frozen vegetables I plan on for side dishes. Also, all of the recipes are from the sparkpeople recipe site , I’ve never tasted any of them so this should be interesting. As for the rest of meals and snacks I’ve bought raw almonds, apples with caramel or yogurt dipping sauce, 100 calorie popcorn, salads and soups. For lunches at work I usually have some kind of lean TV dinner. I started tracking my calories today on sparkpeople and they give me 1200-1500 calories, 163-236 carbs, 32-56 fat, and 60-127 protein. I’m happy to report I have stayed well within my range and will still have some calories to burn after dinner. Hooray! The exercise is the harder part as I let my gym membership expire (never went anyway) and I don’t like being away from the family every night. Last time, I was successful by using my Wii so I’m going to do that again. I have the Wii Fit (bought the Fit Plus game today) and I have the Gold’s Gym game which is mostly boxing. So that’s the plan. I have 29 lbs to lose which will bring me down to 140 lbs. You do the math and here’s my menu. As always, check out Organized Junkie for more menus.
