a week of healthy meals...

i am really pleased with the way i planned my healthy low carb meals for the week, so much so that i wanted to share...

sunday night - meatloaf with roasted potatos and spinach

monday night - leftover meatloaf.  jarad had his in a scramble with 3 eggs, jalepnos, onion and cheese, and i just had a big ole piece of meatloaf by itself.

tuesday night - zucchini pasta with trader joes frozen turkey meatballs

wednesday night - grilled chicken (cooked enough for 2 meals worth) with lentils and raw zucchini salad

thursday night - grilled chicken salad (leftover chicken from night before)

friday night - no cook!  jarad gets to take erin out for a delicious dinner of her choice!!! (which usually means in n out, chicken shack or el gringo)

i have to mention that the last couple of weeks have been filled with long work days and added stress, but i found the time and energy (barely) to still make a fresh and healthy meal.  i know that because of this my body is thanking me and i am happy that i was able to make good choices when i know it would have been easier and faster to pick up something on the way home or eat crap.  i have never made a meal plan before, but my impromptu meal plan this week worked well, so that i had great meals every night and was able to use leftovers to create some of them.
