I am always more successful when I plan ahead! So this weekend, I thought I would organzie myself a little and plan meals for the week. One more step to ensure I am on track and stay there!!! I had my nifty menu planning pad, pen, cookbooks and laptop all ready! I got so into it I was up until 2:30 on Saturday. WOWSERS! I got lost in blogs and cookbooks drooling over what looked like yumminess galore!
I had my menu for the week. I know what I was going to make for the kids' lunches, what plan B's would be and what the littlest one and I would eat while the rest of the gang was away during the day. I even planned out what our breakfast would be at 2:30 in the morning while I was throwing it in the crockpot! MAN I love that crockpot. My husband and I are thinking of picking up a second one one of these days.
What I should have done to was calculate all of my ppv while I was making the menu for the week. Something I will have to remember for next weekend. Next weekend I vow to have a full stomach, and to do it during daylight hours! lol I was dragging on Sunday with the lack of sleep. And sleep these days is really hard to catch up on.
I planned for a day out with friends today as well. A few of us are meeting for lunch at a local restaraunt. I looked at the menu. I know exactly what I am getting and what the ppv will be for the entire meal. The trick is to stick with the plan. How will I do that. Hmmmm well I won't look at the menu and I breath through my mouth so I don't smell anything that may make me weak and order differently! lol
Plan. Plan. Plan. You can't ever plan to much. There are tons of different ways to plan your meals to help keep you on track. Google it! My problem sometimes though is I start to plan, then walk away from it to come back to it and have it not come out as successful as if I had just stuck with it all along! A weakness. One I am working on! Always a work in progress and I am okay with that. It only makes me a better me! :)
How do you plan? Have any tips or tricks up your sleeve? Feel free to share! :)
