Meal Planning

I know that to be successful on the diet I must meal plan. Meal planning takes a shit load of time, but I know I can do it. Because I have been sick this weekend, I have only left the house to get the fixins for Chicken noodle soup. I guess I will have to go to the store tomorrow after I go to the gym. This is how I plan to make this meal planning successful. I will make 3-4 meals a week and eat them for dinner and leftovers each day. I also plan to make a breakfast casserole or something like that for breakfast. OK, so here's what I am making this week.

Holy crap! that's a ton of food! I wish it wasn't so late so I could go grocery shopping. I will just have to do it after my work out tomorrow. If I didn't actually have to work tomorrow I would go now. I guess I should start getting ready for bed. Since I haven't gone to sleep before 2 am in 2 weeks, I might have to take some melatonin. Alright kiddos. Have a great day! To all my teacher friends, it's back to work we go!
