Confession: Last week I didn’t do a menu and I totally paid for it.  I didn’t realize what a huge difference being prepared in that way meant for me.  It was big. 

It’s not that I went totally off plan, but I’d say about 50%.  Not cool.  And, my treadmill finally died Thursday which was totally sad because I just don’t get the same workout on the elliptical {but made myself do 45 minutes each day anyway}. 
So, I felt a bit off.  Anyway, this morning I knew that being prepared & planning ahead would be one of the keys to making this a winning week.  Here it is-hopefully it will help someone else, too.

Monday:  Leftover Ground turkey/French bread boats, green beans
