As usual, I was easily on the MWL plan for 2 weeks, and then something happened and fell off the plan. What made it even harder to get back to MWL was the fact that we have many foods I crave in the house, that are for other family members. Now that I've eaten them all, I think it is time to try again
So, for one thing, I'm going to see if the family will be able to hold off on having the foods I crave in the house for just 1 week until I'm back on plan. Once I'm on plan for a while, I'm able to pass them up. And I'm going to try to make some simple things I can eat for the next week today and tomorrow. Today I'll make barley and add in some frozen veg and canned beans and salsa. Tomorrow I'll make a really big batch of veg soup and something else. I can't decide whether I want to make something good or something simple. I made this really good Indian dish with no fat, potatoes, peas, and had it with white basmati rice and feel like that was almost the beginning of me going off track because it was so good and I was overeating it. So maybe I will just try boiling up a bunch of potatoes, veggies, grains and see how it goes. The idea of boiled potatoes sounds unappetizing but will try it since it sounds faster.
Today, so far:
Breakfast - 1 big piece of sourdough bread, Amy's vegan burrito, 4-6 small peppermint patties
Rest of day plans:
Lunch - grain/bean/veg dish
Snacks - chopped veg, oatmeal with blueberries - got to make this ahead of time also
Dinner - will thaw out that Indian dish I saved but will have it with barley instead of basmati, and banana for dessert, will get lots more decaf tea for night-time
