Working on Goals

Happy New Year!!

I hope you all had a wonderful end to 2018 and are feeling ready for all the adventures that 2019 will bring.

So one of my goals for this year is to actually cook three or more meals a week and be healthier. My little family and I tend to let schedules and activities overwhelm our food choices and that leads to unhealthy eating. I really want to change this and get us all on the right track for 2019.

I know that if I don't write things down then I end up waiting until the last minute and we go with the fastest (usually unhealthiest) option. To keep me accountable I sat down today and created a calendar template where I will input what the meal for the day is going to be. This will help me with shopping for the week and keep me from trying to figure something out at the last minute. I blocked off two days a week for leftovers. On one of those days we have swim practice which goes late and the other we usually are with family in the evening so we only need food for lunches. There is also nothing planned for this week because we already have special plans for all but one of those days. Below you will see our meal plan for the month of January.
I am posting this here to hold myself accountable for sticking to this plan and to share with anyone who may want to do something similar in this new year.

So here is to the new year and making it a healthier and more balanced year : )
