This is Week 2 for meal plan but Week 3 since we started!
Eating Plan:
Breakfast-
Banana Blueberry Bread w/ cottage cheese. (The bread isn't terrible but maybe it was a tad undercooked. I used to like cottage cheese but now its a lot of work to eat 3/4 cup but I got suggested to try with pepper and salt)
AM Snack-
Apple and peanut butter (I can totally do this one with no problem!)
Lunch-
Inside the Egg Roll w/Brown rice. (I was worried about this one but the recipe didn't seem crazy so I kept pretty much everything in it, it actually tastes pretty good! I didn't do the sauce, I was going to try it but was missing an ingredient)
Go Snack-
Bell Pepper and Hummus (I tried a friends hummus it was okay but i'm not a fan of bell peppers in general so instead i'm doing the Wasa Cracker like last time even though it doesn't replace a veggie....maybe I should of just tried to find a hummus I like and used carrots, oh well)
Dinner-
Mediterranean Pasta w/Baked Chicken. (This one stressed me out a lot when I read the menu. It was all veggies that I do not care for but the noodle mix I made looks good and i'm excited about the chicken with it. So instead i'm doing a few piles of veggies on the side)
PM Snack-
Mango Almond Yogurt Drop (i'm so excited for this, I only get 2 of them, I've taste tested and they are yummy!)
One downside to prepping is that food doesn't always taste good reheated so the noodles aren't going to be so good reheated and the rice wasn't as good and fresh.
I had a cheat day on Sunday, Sunday I usually struggle with being good with food. I'm allowed some cheat but I wanted to try and avoid it because I fall fast down to my old paths. But I didn't do terrible. I still feel guilty about it though.
Each week and some days here and there I have a bit anxiety over the food for many different reasons. I decided to ask Spencer for a blessing of comfort through this process of change.
Here are a few things said that really helped me.
*Be open minded to try new things. And I will find some new likes. (I am trying but I will try harder, when someone suggests something I usually slam a door shut fast to the idea)
*Everyone is different and has likes and dislikes (I know this but I guess I didn't realize that maybe I was just always supposed to live with some more dislikes then other people and that's okay. It just makes me stand out and I don't like it, people always look at me weird for the things I don't care for. So I need to know it's okay to be different and have dislikes)
*You will have success. It will be a success for you. (It makes me feel really good that this process will turn out really good. And that it will be a success for me, not someone else's success, that it will be something that's big and successful to me even if it looks small to someone else)
I still have moments and days but I try to look back on what was said and remember that I am who I am and that's okay. This will be a great process for me even though stressful at times. =]
I have been napping during the day for a small time because I've felt a bit tired but it maybe is my bodies way of adjusting. I also wasn't sleeping very well but today I don't feel I need a nap =]
3 of my 4 ladies on my team were able to get together and prep together, that was really fun! And especially easier in a BIG kitchen =] In general its nice to get together with the girls!
