This Morning Thing

Well I wasn't going to get up this morning.  I was tired but when the husband left, I woke up.  I was surprised by how awake I was.  Still, though, I debated staying in bed.  But laying in bed wide awake and thinking, I really should get on the treadmill this morning, was motivation to get moving.

But because I delayed, I didn't get the full tread milling time that I would have like in.  I went ten minutes less then normal.  I went a distance of 1.83 and burnt 219 cals.  I ran again at a 6 for 4 mins today.  While I was running I did my heart rate and it was up to 174.  Crazy!

So the last few days I have been looking for ways to make my meal cooking more healthy.  Last night's supper was good, but it could have been so much better (shake and bake italian chicken and fettucini with homemade spinach alfredo).  I have spent a lot of time searching google and cruising the internet to find a solution.  I think I might have found it!  That solution is too make a magnetic monthly menu that has tiny food magnets to fit on each day.  My hope is that the this method will get the kids involved in meal planning.  And I think that this might be able to keep us on a better food budget throughout the month.

How about you my two readers?  What do you do for meal planning?  How do you keep it healthy?

  1. well, last night we had poutine, deep fried chicken nuggets, and to help make it a little bit healthy, I made a garden salad.
    I need to figure something out for meal planning too. My biggest problem is being consistant. Hopefully your new plan works out for you! Have a blessed day, my dear friend :-)
