Weekly Menu for May 22, 2023

 Hi friends!  I'm back with the menu for this week.  I know, I missed last week's menu.  Last week was rough.  I didn't feel good.  I didn't really menu plan.  I didn't eat enough veggies.  All of that equaled the scale going up on weigh in day. I'm not even upset because of that.  I'm more upset that my sugar was off sooooo much during the week and I felt bad because of it.  When the readings were between 121-127 I had the most horrible headaches.  I had a headache for 4 days.  I told Billy was tired of my head hurting.  Thankfully, yesterday and today I am feeling better and my sugar is around 119. On to the menu...I really want some turkey.  Like Thanksgiving Day turkey.  So, that is definitely on the menu this week. Monday - slow cooker chicken teriyaki with riced cauliflower and zucchini and squash Tuesday - turkey breast and a broccoli casserole Wednesday -  tacos Thursday - chicken strips and a Mediterranean salad Friday - Big Mac Salad I'm really

Honey Sriracha Roasted Salmon Rice Bowls

 Last week's menu had Honey Sriracha Roasted Salmon Rice Bowls on it.  Billy wasn't impressed.  I however, was impressed.  I was so impressed I not only ate mine, but I ate his (he only took one bite) the next day.  In his defense, he's not a fan of salmon, where I will eat almost any seafood. I've been a fan of Gina Homolka for several years.  I have all her cookbooks and her website,  SkinnyTaste , has been bookmarked in my browser since I found it.  Her recipes are delicious and she gives the WW points for them.  Very helpful if you are following WW.  Gina publishes a weekly menu plan that I have followed before.  As I was browsing her website, I noticed the recipe for Honey Sriracha Roasted Salmon Rice Bowls.  It looked good so I decided to give it a try. (Not my picture, this is Gina's picture from her website) Since I'm a sucker for avocado and I like seafood, I knew I'd enjoy this.  And in totally honesty, I knew Billy probably wouldn't.  But I ma

Weekly Menu for May 8, 2023

 Hello, Friends!  I'm back with another weekly menu.  I know, I missed last week.  I didn't feel too good at the beginning of the week and then after I was busy the rest of the week and missed coming back to chat.  Weigh in was good for the last two weeks.  I lost 2.6 over them.  BUT, I ate off plan over last weekend and truthfully was up 3.2 on Monday morning when I started the Summer Slim Down Challenge in the Optavia group I'm in.  So since Monday I have lost 4.5 at the writing of this.  And if you notice, there is a correlation between eating off plan, not feeling good and weighing more.  One day I might learn that my body doesn't do well with certain foods. Speaking of the Summer Slim Down Challenge, they challenged us to set two goals, one scale victory and one non-scale.  My scale victory is to be down 10 pounds (13.9 if you count where I started on the 1st). I'm looking at numbers I have not seen since 2015ish. My non-scale victory was going to be to fit int
