Menu Plan - Week of 05/25/2015

This week I am desperately trying to find out what my "problem" is.  I have been trying for way too long to lose weight with no results.  So, I am doing a 3-day experiment per my friend's suggestion and we'll see if its me or something I'm eating that is stunting my results. 

Monday

Breakfast:  Quinoa with blueberries and honey

Lunch: Quesadilla Strips, Sweet potato soup (making its third debut), super food salad

Snack:  Berries and Yogurt

Dinner:  Hot dogs, Baked beans, buffalo chicken and sweet potato casserole (I came up with this as I had leftover buffalo chicken and sweet potatoes from my marathon cooking session last week, soon to be posted on my other blog.  It has sweet potatoes on the bottom, followed by buffalo chicken, bacon, cheese and green onions)

The Official Women behind Wanda Brunch is finally here!  I will be up all night Saturday prepping, so I hope I have enough energy to interact with my guests and actually eat the food myself as well. 


This week is kind of a decider for me.  I am going to do one more round of 21 day fix, then I am truly done.  I haven't gained any more than I had previously lost, so I might just be destined to be the size I am and I think I am finally OK with that.  


  

Menu Plan - Week of 05/18/15
