Okay so I haven't written since day 14, which was almost 14 days ago now. I kind of got off track and I'm thinking I need to go back to tracking how I used to with my spreadsheet - calories, fat grams, carbs, sugar, etc.
Of course if I do that I can't really post it here. But here were some food thoughts I had today:
So I know this is the way things should happen, but it's so exhausting. I'm trying to watch my credit card bill this month, to keep it at my limit I've set for me - and that includes all my bills and things that automatically go to the card. I'm getting close and this statement doesn't close until next Wednesday, so I took a moment yesterday and planned out my next few meals so I maybe don't have to go grocery shopping too soon or too often.
Wednesday Lunch: SB meal; Wed. night: Chicken standard;
Thursday lunch: Chicken standard; Thursday night: eggs;
Friday lunch: Chicken standard; Friday night: Meatloaf;
Saturday lunch - going out to eat with sister (which will be a charge but I can keep that low);
Saturday night: meatloaf;
Sunday lunch - probably meatloaf; Sunday night - probably meatloaf or a SB pizza.
Monday lunch - meatloaf or eggs
Then I'll shop on Monday so I can make chicken for the next few days. (And of course, me being me, I have this all on a sticky and I'm crossing them off as I complete the meal - I'm such a geek).
It's just tiring because now I have to think ahead and think about what I'm buying. It's good for me though. My financial planner wants me to buy a house this spring, and while I am excited about the possibility I really don't have enough funding to do that just yet (at least not in my head). I got my step increase last week which was nice so I need to be putting money away again. Every little bit helps. I usually keep a semi-running total in my head anyway so I don't overbuy things. Sometimes though I forget about things like my haircut Monday because it wasn't a planned purchase or event, yet needed. It's just difficult sometimes.
