I’m working on losing 14.6 pounds before September 1st so that means I’m getting serious about what I’m putting into my body.
This morning I started thinking about Week 18 as a whole… what do I have going on and what can I do that will push me closer to my goal. Day by day, this is what I’m planning…
Monday (today)
- Coffee for breakfast, I should have had a food but I just didn’t
- Tortellini soup leftovers for lunch
- Banana as an afternoon snack
- Zumba at 7 p.m.
- Turkey sausage, peppers, and onions over brown rice for dinner
Tuesday
- Waffle with honey for breakfast
- PiYO at 5 a.m.
- Maybe another waffle depending on how hungry I am!
- Salad for lunch
- No snack
- 5-mile walk at Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield
- Dinner?
Wednesday
- I took the day off work because we are seeing Paul McCartney in Kansas City!! I plan on making healthy breakfast and lunch choices, but having a drink at dinner and at the concert. Will try to stick to proper portions if I choose a not-so-healthy restaurant dinner.
- I usually don’t work out on Wednesdays, but I should be able to find time to sweat it out since I’m not working and we won’t leave for Kansas City until the afternoon.
Thursday
- Waffle with honey for breakfast
- Banana for snack
- Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers frozen lunch with a cucumber
- Pretzels as an afternoon snack
- PiYO at 7 p.m.
- Dinner?
Friday
- I’ve been loosening up the chains on my Friday food choices because it gives me a chance to “celebrate” my weekly weigh-in (I weigh on Friday morning). I need to work on finding new ways to celebrate and reward myself…. Ideas?
So there’s a preview of the week ahead. My goal for this week is to lose 2 pounds. If I stick to my guns on Wednesday I think it can be done! If you have dinner suggestions, please leave me a comment with links! I’m always looking for something new. Oh, and I despise mushrooms and seafood. Everything else is fair game 🙂

Are you eating enough? Maybe you need more veggies and fruits too… I have to eat a lot of veggies and small amounts of meat. Then my metabolism revs up and I start to lose. Look on Pinterest for ideas under Weight Watchers. Good luck to you.
Thanks for your comment, Colleen! I never go hungry, but I agree I could increase my intake of fresh produce. Grocery shopping tomorrow!
Good for you. Keep up the good work!
Do you have a slow cooker? I love just throwing in frozen chicken with some kind of sauce. The other day all I put in was chicken and enchilada sauce and it was perfect to stuff into a pepper and then bake or in a small tortilla. Lots of protein to keep you full and super tasty. If you eat it with a pepper then you get your veggie, too.
I do! Thanks for the idea. It’s been forever since we’ve had stuffed peppers.
