Monday Menu Mania

This is the first Monday Menu of the new year!!!

First, the weigh-in. This morning this scale showed a 3.2 pound loss! That brings my total to an even 46 pounds. 17.2 pounds to go until my goal weight.

Now the main attraction, what's for dinner?

Saturday: Roasted chicken, potatoes, and carrots

Sunday: Poached salmon and cucumbers with a side of green beans

Monday: Chicken tortilla soup

Tuesday: Meatloaf and zucchini

Wednesday: Capellini with fresh tomato sauce

Thursday: Bean and cheese burritos (Daughter has a performance, so I had to squeeze something in between carpool and the show)

Friday: Roast pork puertorriqueno, broccoli, and rice

As you know, I plan out our meals every week. I try to stick to it, but being human and having a hubby and three kids means that most weeks one of the meals gets bumped or replaced altogether. I can go with the flow when that happens. Four of this week's meals come straight from my Weight Watcher's cookbook and two of the meals will be first time tries.

What's on your favorite dinner to make?

I am so happy to have you as a blogging buddy while I tackle this 35 pounds, I think I've already dropped 5 or 6 in the last two weeks. Buying a scale tonight so I can keep better tabs.

Thanks for cheering us on!

I'm newer here -- congrats on the weight loss, that's great!!

I *really* need to do a menu each week, because I am (7 years into marriage and around 6 as a SAHM) *still* learning the whole cooking thing. I am still very meat and potatoes, but maybe I can get some ideas here too! :-)

You are doing amazing with the weight. So awesome! And that is so great that you plan your menus out for the week! And your menu plans sound delicious!

Now that I am working out of the house full time...that seems so much harder to do! I was a SAHM for 26+ years! Gee-whiz! i really need to think about planning for the week, even though it is jsut my hubby and I now, since ours are all in college.

We are trying to eat more organic.

Blessings & aloha!
(Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments, as usual!
