Monday Menu Mania

Well, I ran my longest run thus far on Saturday. I did 11.4 miles in just over 2 hours. I am closing in on that 13.1 miles I need to do for the half-marathon the beginning of May. I have to say it felt good! I did pretty well with my food this week, except on Thursday I gave into some cookie cravings - oh well, I never thought I was perfect. The scale showed a 0.4 pound loss. I was happy with that since I did reach my goal weight a few weeks ago. I am now just shy of 5 pounds under my goal weight.

This week's menu was complicated by the beginning of rehearsals for my daughter. She is in the chorus of a professional opera production of Lucia di Lammermoor. This means I will basically not be home Tuesday nights and Wednesday nights mean a late dinner. Saturdays will be hampered as well. So wish me luck with meal planning here on out. Also, I must say thank you to my hubby as he will be picking up the slack at home with the boys those days.

Saturday: Chicken tortilla soup

Sunday: Baked fish with ratatouille

Monday: Classic beef and barley soup with rolls

Tuesday: Bean and cheese burritos

Wednesday: Turkey burgers and broccoli

Thursday: Pot roast, baked potatoes, and asparagus

Friday: Orange chicken, rice, and zucchini

Be forewarned, tomorrow is my wedding anniversary and the rest of the week might be slightly twitterpatted, as they say in Bambi.
