Sorry I didn’t write a post the last couple of days but I’ve been real busy.  Ok let me catch you up on everything.

Saturday-Autism Walk -Great event, everyone had fun and my church family really came through for me as far as attendance and donations.  Wanted to blog but was so tired from the walk and literally getting 4 hours of sleep that I took a Benadryl (Oh yeah allergies flared up) and was pretty much knocked out.

Sunday- Father’s Day- Still tired from yesterday but wanted to give hubby a break.  So I really took “Charge” of the kids yesterday.  Found a babysitter at the last minute to watch the kids so I can take hubby out to dinner at his favorite restaurant, Macaroni Grill.  At the restaurant my chicken tasted funny so the kind waitress gave me a new entree but it was a little cold (I guess they didn’t heat it up thoroughly in their attempt to get my food to me quickly) so I ended up getting my chicken entree to go (because it was still deliciouso) and the waiter brought me a huge chocolate cake on the house.  I only took three small forks of the cake when I came home so that I won’t deprive myself of the goodie but kept in mind my weight loss goal. 

Today-Cleaned house, spend time with girls, oh yeah I walked on the track today, jogging 2 out of the 6 laps so my dreams of jogging is becoming a reality.  It was great.  I emailed a few friends to see if they are interested in starting an organic food co-op and now I’m blogging and I’m about to give you my menu ideas for this week.  I am making roasted chicken today because I was suppose to make it yesterday but opt to take hubby out.  So below is a quick list of my menu for this week.  Please excuse any grammatical errors because I am typing quickly before I have to get my son off the bus (half day at school).

Tuesday-Spaghetti and meatballs, salad, bread

Wednesday-Bar-B-Q Chicken Spanish rice, veggie

Thursday- Homemade cheeseburgers, homemade fried

Below is my menu for this week.  I use the same template and just rotate the dinner section

(I have about 3 weeks worth of dinner rotation) and I try to leave two days out of the month to try 

 new recipes if I have some in mind.  Also, you can click on the names of the main entree to find the recipe.  FYI I substitute recipes using low fat, organic, all natural products and you can do the same there is hardly a difference in taste but a HUGE difference in caloric intake and quality:)
