Steady as she goes

Joined up with the new South Beach Diet board It’s a group of long time SBers who are encouraging each other without having the newbie questions associated with SB.

I’ve buckled down on my meal planning and made a plan and kept to it at the grocery sore. Planned my meals for this week:

S-Grilled Steak & Peppers with couscous tossed with cucumbers & tomatoes
M-WW Pepperoni Pizza with cucumber salad
T-Shrimp & Broccoli on WW Pasta
W-Chicken Goop (crockpot recipe) with salad
R-Vietnamese Pork Wraps (SB Quick & Easy cookbook)
F-Hamburgers on WW with SB onion rings & cole slaw(made with vinegar, not mayo)

Pretty nice, huh? Most of these allow me to take leftovers for lunch (well, except for today, it’s payday, all coworkers go out to eat together)

Last night, Kirk & I ran over to Wal-mart (he needed post-its) and I found a little planner that I’m going to write down my meals on. This is something else that should help in planning, I figure if I’m online and see a good recipe, I can go ahead and plan for it for the following week.

This may be a money saver as well. When I went to the grocery store and just bought what I needed for these recipes, plus my breakfast & snacks, it ended up only costing $50. Obviously, I had some essentials already in my house, but still, $50 for a week of food, not bad!
