Always Plan Ahead...

Hey everyone...hope you're having a good week!  So happy it's Wednesday already!!!

Thought I'd show you my breakfast & lunch spread from yesterday:

• French toast slice
• Reduced Fat Chocolate Milk
• Fat Free Peach Chobani
• Cashew Cookie Larabar
• Peach  (peach overkill??)

I bought these French Toast slices at Trader Joe's to switch up a bit from the waffles.  They're really hearty from the four grain bread and heat up in the microwave in a minute.  (although they taste MUCH better toasted in a toaster overJ)

And I liked the stats...esp. the 5 grams of protein!

I'm also moderately obsessed with these single serving chocolate milks...

I've read that chocolate milk is one of the best things to have after a tough workout (hello, boxing!) and that the carb & protein combo are the best at rebuilding and refueling muscles. 

Oh yeah...and it tastes goodJ  Let's not kid ourselves TOO much...

And I absolutely love the stats and INGREDIENTS list on this baby.  Short & sweetJ

Our dinner last night was a standard "Taco Tuesday" fiesta with a little middle eastern flair thrown in...J

The tacos were stocked with:

• Trader Joe's taco shells
• Taco seasoned crumbled turkey breast
• Cheese
• Shredded Lettuce (which I'm slightly obsessed with!)
• Avocado
• Low fat sour cream

And as our side?  No, not rice & beans....but this roasted garlic brown rice & bulger comboJ

It was what we had it our cabinet....so it was what was going on our platesJ

I say this RARELY, but as of this moment, I have absolutely NO CLUE what will be on this blog tomorrow morning.  Dinner this evening is still up in the air!  We usually plan our "menu" for the week and stick strictly too it, but since our schedules shifted a bit for the next few weeks, it may all be a little more up in the airJ  That being said, my tip for you today if your trying to lose weight:  Make a menu!  It's WAY to easy to call for 'take out' when you don't have a plan and even 'moderatly complicated recipes' (NEVER try VERY complicated ones during the week!  That's just setting yourself up) are easier if you have a game plan and everything you need in the house.  If you've never done it, try it out for a week and let me know how it goes!  The key to success is to PLAN AHEAD!

Alright....I'm done chatting!  Have a great Wednesday!  (I just wrote "weekend"...I'm. in. troubleJ)
