A huge factor in my weight struggle is that I can’t bear the thought of sitting down to plan meals each week. I know it would make life much easier (and we’d all eat better) if I knew exactly what we were eating for the day when I woke up, but my brain just doesn’t work that way. I can’t even plan something for dinner if I’m not hungry. It’s terrible. (I have subscribed to dinner planning services, but even then I struggle planning breakfasts, lunches, and snacks.)
I need tips! What do you do to plan meals, events, exercise, etc.? Any advice to make planning fun and something I’ll actually look forward to and might even…enjoy?
I plan the same things for breakfast/lunch each day. It makes things easier for me. Here's what I do. I'm not saying it's the best or only way, but it works for us.
ReplyDeleteMonday-muffins and something in a tortilla (wrap, burrito, etc.)
Tuesday-toast and sandwiches
Wednesday-waffles and pizza
Thursday-oatmeal and soup
Friday-fruit and nuts for breakfast and chicken nuggets or hotdogs with Mac and cheese
The weekends are a little more laid back...breakfast is whatever they want to fix for themselves, often cereal, and lunch is usually sandwiches or leftovers. Our snacks are fruits or veggies...veggies are good with hummus to add protein.
