Eating Right

Since I've promised myself to get healthy, I decided to plan our meals for the week. I never believed in planning meals before. Mostly because I am indecisive, and I like to wait until the last minute to choose. I have done a lot of research on healthy eating plans, and I couldn't decide on just one, so I am picking & choosing. It's actually really great. Usually, we spend about 50-60$ on groceries, because we just don't know for sure what we want, so we get a bunch of stuff....and sometimes those things end up going bad before we think to use them. This week we only spent 32$ and only got what we needed for THIS week's meals/snacks.

On the menu for this week:

Stuffed Eggplant with Brown Rice
Hot and Sour Asian Lettuce Wraps
Turkey Meatloaf

As I was researching, I found an article that said you shouldn't totally cut all of your guilty pleasures out, just cut them down. I've decided to allow myself ONE glass of sweet tea a day.
Granted, this sweet tea isn't even what I consider real sweet tea, so it's not MUCH of a cheat, but still.

New pleasures that don't make me feel guilty:

SoySlender Chocolate Soy Milk
Nature Valley Sweet & Salty Granola Bar
