Menu Plan - Week Of 06/08/2015

If a picture is worth a thousand words... this is me this week.  I have lots of components for meals, but not sure how I wanted to put them together.  Last week was quite the challenge as I had no motivation to do pretty much of anything.  I ate some things I shouldn't, but stuck to my workouts.  I am still not seeing the benefits of all this work, but I will push through.  This is my best attempt for this week, and I'm sure its likely to change.

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.
