We did our grocery shopping yesterday afternoon after I planned out the weekly menu:
- White Chili II
- Slow Cooker Taco Pasta
- Salmon & Rice
- Carbanara
- Saucy Pork Chops
- Ribs with potato salad
I plan to do upper body work outs Tuesday and Thursday. Walk 1 mile Wednesday and Friday. The leg is still sore but I might try to run/walk that 1 mile…don’t tell my chiro!
Work will be hectic this week so I may have to get up and do my workouts in the morning as opposed to the evening – when I prefer to work out. It’s really hard for me to get up early in the morning so this will be a challenge! I’m open to a challenge!
Do you plan your weekly menu or just wing it?
Do you like to workout in the morning or afternoon?
Any exciting plans for the week?
Challenged and Running in the Bike Lane 
I normally don’t plan a menu, because I hate cooking so much that I don’t like to think about it, but lately I’ve had a lot of new recipes that I want to try, so I’ve been planning more lately. I also only cook 3 days a week, so I don’t have to plan a ton of meals each week.
Lucky. I don’t like cooking either but eating out is so unhealthy and SUPER expensive. The pasta taco thing I plan to make has so many leftovers K and I will be set for lunch every day!
I am an evening runner. I am NOT a morning person!! Kinda wish I was just to get it over with though. I am one of the lucky ones and my husband does all the cooking (he works from home and feels sorry for me!!). I hope you start feeling better soon and get back to running. That has to be frustrating for you!
Yay, another “not morning person”!! I do agree, you are LUCKY to have a husband that cooks. And thank you..I hope to run again soon…I am really starting to miss it.
Looks like a good week of eats! I was pretty good this week…Thai on Sunday…made homemade panini’s yesterday…have BBQ pulled chicken in the crokpot for tonight…and have suff for homemade pizza for tomrrow. I am definitely a morning person and like to workout at that time but usually my work schedule forces me to do it later afternoon/early evening. Nothing too exciting this week…just getting my hair did tomorrow because I am looing like trash right now, lol! I hope work goes smoothly for you! 🙂
Oooo….I need to get my hair did too. It’s way too long and yucky!
Looks like some great meals! I try to plan out meals as I’m shopping at the grocery store.
I love working out in the morning – its fits my schedule better!
I can’t plan meals at the store otherwise I buy too much! I have to do it at home and can check what we have on hand and what we don’t. I also prefer to see what I have in the freezer for meat. 🙂 K is a meat eater and I have to include it in almost every meal. boo!
We’ve started using our slow cooker again, and it has really made dinner easier! But no, not really a planner.
I prefer working out in the morning, but I almost NEVER actually do it. Trying to work out before work just makes the mornings feel so hectic. But I do love getting it out of the way (and the mornings are so nice and cool and fresh!).
I love using our slow cooker but it does require some planning! I really prefer to run in the afternoon/evening. I am just not a morning person unless it’s a race morning!
I have an idea in my head, but I rarely write out menus. But when I do, I’m always impressed by how much easier meals seem to go. You would think that would teach me something, but I just keep going in my aimless direction.:) If I don’t work out in the morning, it’s hard to make it happen. And I’m hoping to go on a date with the hubs this weekend. That’s exciting for us because we don’t do official dates that often!
I have to force myself to meal plan but if I don’t then we end up eating out and I don’t like that very much. So exciting for a date with your hubby. K and I don’t get dates very often, either.
