Okay so we’ve been working at this for 2 full months now.
I’ve developed a set method for meal planning. But it still takes way too long so I’m still trying to tweak it to take less time. I’ll share the method once I’m happy with it.
Let’s talk weight loss…I know you’re wondering. :) I’m down 16 pounds. So that’s a good average of 2lbs per week. Honestly, for all the focus and work this takes it feels like it should be more, but I’m trying to remain calm and focused on the future.
We have fallen into a natural balance of eating out vs. eating at home. We eat at home M-F afternoon. Then eat out Fri night, Sat lunch and dinner, and Sun lunch and dinner. I know that probably sounds like a lot, but this an unbelievable improvement from our previous fast food twice a day habit.
TT7 is so full of energy it’s like we have a new kid.
I’m still amazed that I feel full before I reach the end of my meals.
Still no 5-star healthy Crockpot meals…my poor family.
I’m totally frustrated by little kids who eat ridiculous amounts of candy and are still thin. And by thin moms pushing carts of snack cakes, chips, and donuts around the grocery store. Yes, I am watching you! I’ve totally turned into a grocery store creeper! I just don’t understand why our family is so different?!?!
The kids are allowed unhealthy snacks on weekends only. I’m not sure if I’m happy with this arrangement yet. It seems like it’s teaching them weird habits. But I know I can’t have the stuff in my house so we’ll see what I decide later.
It feels like I may get bored with choosing the same healthy foods over and over. I’m trying to figure out ways to mix it up so everything I’ve worked for doesn’t come crashing back down. I need suggestions on ways to keep it from getting boring. I need my food to be exciting and something I can’t wait to eat! GBD thinks I’m weird. And I agree.
Thanks for your support over these past 2 months. If you have questions or want to request blog topics please let me know.
