I've gone two weeks eating fruits, vegetables, meats, rice/quinoa, and spices. I've been to bootcamp 5 times, volleyball twice, and walked 4 miles. My husband - by default - has also been eating healthier (he still has his snacks that I won't eat, aka chips and pretzels) and has been going to bootcamp with me once a week and playing hockey a couple times each week. Meal-planning and working out together has been great. We take turns cooking, and we're both sore from bootcamp. It allows us to spend time together, and we're in better states of mind. I know he is not overjoyed that I'm super-restrictive on the foods I'm eating right now, but he has no complaints with all the fresh cut-up food ready to snack on.
The grocery bill this week was $77. This is about $20 more than it used to be and about $20 less than what it was last week. Fresh produce is more expensive than processed foods. There is just no getting around that. However, I think with a little more practice, I could shave another $10 off that bill. We should still be under or at our monthly budget for food, but I a m watching it closely. Thinking about it though, eating for a week on $40 per person really cannot be considered frivolous.
So here'e the next week of meals:
Breakfast - Crustless Quiche
Lunch - Pot roast
Snacks - Strawberries, raspberries, mangoes, sweet peppers, celery, and home-cooked potatoes
Dinner -
Monday - Stir-fry vegetables and quinoa
Tuesday - PF Changs lettuce wraps (encore appearance because they were so good last week)
Wednesday - Vegetarian Taco Salad
Thursday - Leftovers
Friday - Egg fried rice (hubby will be gone, so this will last for a couple meals through the weekend)
Well here goes week 3!
