Day Zero: Preparation
I'm taking a little break right now to rest my arm. From killer exercise? No. From grating 2 sweet potatoes for my morning casserole. This is the only part I don't like of that recipe. Grating damn sweet potato. But it tastes oh, so good. I did see something online that wouldn't require the grating. And I'm adding it to the plan for next week's breakfast. I'll share that probably next weekend. I also did all my grocery shopping and cooked the Hamburger Soup. Planning to freeze half of it and have the other half for dinner tomorrow. Happy prep day! Ready to kill it on R2 D1. Stats: January 1, 2017 - 131.6 lbs February 1, 2017 - 120.4 lbs March 5, 2017 - 120.6 lbs
Grocery Trip: Week One
I already have some of the items needed to cook for this week's meals. Three colors of bell pepper, carrot, bagged coleslaw (for egg roll in a bowl), and some staples like mayo and eggs. And I already made the buffalo chicken casserole bc I had everything on hand. When I make my grocery list, I take one sheet of paper and as a I go through the recipes I write the ingredients in the order of how I walk through the store. So, my top of the paper is for fruits and veggies, next is the meat and misc, then frozen foods (my kid likes waffles for breakfast), then the eggs (and, again, milk for the toddler). Here's the final product:
False Starts
We've been back-and-forth as to the start date for Round Two. March 1, a mid-week hustle right in. March 6, Monday, the way things should be. I've at least re-stocked everything in the past couple days. Fresh batch of clarified butter, coconut amigos, almond & coconut flour. I've got my menu planned for a Monday start. And I have plenty of time this weekend to prep my deeply dwindled freezer stash with some new recipes. Had a fulfilling breakfast and lunch. Ready for the same for dinner. Getting myself back into that groove. And it feels good. So I think we are going to stick with Monday. Yes, glad I thought that out. :)
