Menu Monday and New Food Find!!!

Happy Monday!!  Hope everyone has a wonderful start to their workweek!  I started off the day actually cooking breakfast, which is unusual for me.  I made the boys pancakes.  I discovered something very yummy this morning.  I made myself Southwestern Egg Beaters and Turkey Bacon.  My entire breakfast was only 3 points+.  And it was delicious!  The Egg Beaters were 2 points+ for ¾ cup and the Turkey Bacon was 1 point+ for 2 slices.  Add in zero point strawberries and coffee and I was very satisfied. 



After breakfast, I got my workout in.  I have decided that Satan himself must have invented the elliptical.  I HATE that machine, but it burns the most calories.  My oldest son worked out with me (even though his mouth did most of the working), but I was really grateful for the company. 

For lunch today, we went to Steak and Shake.  I used to think there was nothing healthy there, but I discovered a delicious salad, the Apple Pecan Grilled Chicken Salad.  The salad is 8 points+ and the berry vinaigrette is 2 points+.  I never can finish the whole thing.  I highly recommend it!



So I thought on Monday’s I would start sharing my weekly menu with you.  I try to plan out a week at a time.  This helps me stay on track and plus the kids always know what we are having.  I made a little menu board to put up in my kitchen!  So here is what is on the menu this week:

Monday: Ordering out pizza (which I will get a salad) for Movie Night (gonna watch Identity Thief with awesome friends).

Tuesday: Spaghetti made with lean ground beef and whole wheat noodles.  I always steam broccoli and cauliflower to add to my pasta sauce to add more veggies!

Wednesday: Pork Tenderloin in the Crock-Pot, Sweet Potato Fries, and a veggie

Thursday: Oven Baked Chicken, Roasted Potatoes, and a veggie

Friday: Taco Salads with fresh guacamole!

Saturday is usually a eat out night or left-over night.

Sunday: Coconut Shrimp, Baked Sweet Potatoes, and a veggie.

Hope everyone has a fabulous week!!

Keep Losing,


Kari
