menu… because it’s Monday!

I’m still doing really well on the “diet.”  I can actually tell by my clothes now that I have lost weight.  When you are over six feet tall it takes more than five pounds to show … which is an advantage in some regards I guess.  I wore a suit to church yesterday I bought for Easter Sunday.  I actually bought two outfits, one that was really too tight… being optimistic and then one that was more comfortable.  I wore the comfortable one.  But yesterday was able to wear the one that was too tight and it wasn’t.   I always come to church after class with Iz.  I walked in to sit with Matt and Amanda was sitting with Lorenzo, she called me over to tell me I looked nice.  Then Matt told me I looked like a million bucks.  He doesn’t always notice my clothing, so it was a nice compliment.  We had a laugh driving home when he asked how much weight I had lost, he went on to tell me my >>>rear end<<< looked smaller and said I must have lost it all there!  I LOL’d.   Hopefully it will keep coming off and I’ll be ready for Summer!

We drove to Harrah for gyros after church.  I always take all the meat off mine except for one little piece and Matt piles it all on his.  I think of Jack Sprat when this happens :) …  For dinner I threw in some baked potatoes while I went to church and then came home and made everyone else burgers.  I love baked potatoes!  Especially the yukon gold potatoes, they are so buttery.

Tonight I plan to make Amanda’s favorite, fettuccine alfredo.    Not exactly on my diet, but it’s yummy so I’ll just have a little.

Tuesday we’ll have chicken spaghetti in the crockpot with garlic bread, salad and veggies.

Wednesday … subs

Thursday we’ll have tacos…

and Friday we’ll most likely order pizza in.

Sounds like a plan huh?  Have a great Monday!

    Congrats on losing some weight! I am trying to lose a few, too. That’s always good when your tight clothes end up not being too tight anymore ;) .
    I’m so impressed that you plan your menu every week. I want to start doing that, and I really NEED to. :)

    That sounds like a good week to me! We love all of those – alfredo, spaghetti, tacos, subs and pizza. Our kind of food :) I wish I could plan menus like that and still be good and lose weight. As it is, I’ve been on our treadmill fairly often and have not lost a single pound. I’m very disillusioned right now :(

    Have a great week!

    I’m so excited for you with your diet success! Isn’t it the most wonderful feeling to fit into a smaller outfit? I have actually gained some weight…with Ted leaving for 4 months (2 days from now), we’ve been doing lots of fun things which revolve around too much food! This must change soon! Aaaggghhh! ;)
