Okay, I've planned my weekly meal plan and stocked the refrigerator this morning with everything I need for the week. So, I'm all set to go. I find it helpful to do it this way so I stay out of the grocery store, which eliminates temptation. Also, it helps me stay on track. If I don't have things in the house, then I get into trouble.
Breakfast - We had a repeat of yesterdays sinful creations so I could use up the last of the bacon. And, I'll be honest, it gave me the perfect excuse to eat those fried eggs and bacon, again. However, instead of zucchini I sliced a tomato, sprinkled some Italian seasonings on them and put them in the micro for 40 seconds.
AM Snack - As with yesterday, I wasn't hungry.
Lunch - Chopped Italian Salad (pg. 172 in 'Sexy Forever"). First, I made my own vinegar and oil dressing (enough for 2 days). Suzanne would be proud. Then, to the chopped greens I added small chunks of Genoa salami (I had the deli department slice it 1/4" thick), fresh mozzarella, green onions, and pepperoncini. I didn't know what pepperoncini was, so I did an online search. Basically, it's an Italian or Greek sweet pepper and you can find them in a jar next to the olives and pickles.
This lunch was out of this world, mainly because I love Genoa. And the homemade dressing was simply devine. It really made a difference over store bought stuff.
PM Snack - one clementine and 1 ounce of Maqui Juice.
Dinner - Mozzarella Stuffed Turkey Burger (pg. 259) and canned green beans. I chose this meal so I'd be sure to use up the fresh mozzarella. Basically you chop some fresh basil, mix it into the ground turkey, make patties, and then stuff a good chunk of mozzarella into the center. I made enough for 3 meals (three 6-ounce patties and three 8-ounce patties for the hubby). Again, this meal was a home run. I did add a teaspoon of sugar-free ketchup on the side, and dipped each piece into it.
As a side note, I felt full, and very satisfied all day. So far, I haven't been tempted by cookies or other treats. But, after yesterday's weigh-in, I'm really motivated.
