What's on the table this week?

I'm going to continue sharing my menu planning/eating choices and  maybe throw in how I'm doing in the weight loss category as well. :) I'm down 38lbs so far since having Ethan, which sounds quite impressive; however, I had excess weight that I was holding on to (maybe for sentimental reasons?! lol) from Annika, so I still have 30 lbs to go to get to my ideal weight. I'll be happy with 25 though. This is going to be a lot tougher though, that's for sure. So combined with eating well, I need to pull up my socks and get exercising. My doc said I still had a week or so of healing to do and then I should be good to go for heavy duty workouts (which I don't plan to do...haha!) I am going to get in more walking though...can't wait for the weather to turn to spring and then I'll take the kids out to the park. It's hard to go to the outdoor park right now with Ethan...it's a bit chilly to be nursing outdoors.

Anyways, here's what on deck for our meals this week:

Monday - leftover bacon, spinach & swiss quiche (had bacon to use up from our sip 'n' see) plus a salad/fresh veggies

Tuesday - Curried chicken with mango salad and brown rice

Wednesday - Lentil soup

Thursday - Chicken and soup leftovers

Friday - Creamy Cajun shrimp linguine

I think that's what I'll be making this week. I'm heading to the grocery store to quickly pick up some missing ingredients for the week, and then I should be ready for a week's worth of cooking. I think I'll also swing by the library and pick up some books on hold (I love my library!)

Today has been a good day so far. No tantrums yet, we've got a nap going on right now. Let's hope it continues this way the rest of the week. I'm off to do laundry and put away Ethan's clothes.

Have a great week...enjoy the snow! (That reminds me, maybe my workout today should be shoveling our walks!)
