Workout plan & Weekly Dinner Menu

The home stretch!

Here's to finishing all my Christmas shopping and wrapping!

To getting to the gym & working off all those yummy cookies!

And with yummy cookies, comes calories. 

Like I said in an earlier post, I'll be on a cruise in May celebrating my sister's wedding.

I am on a "no excuses" workout plan. 

I hate depriving myself of food, but I do want to look and feel good, 

so here's to doing and not complaining.
I'm going to try this workout {as soon as I finish this coffee/post!}

Does anyone else make sure to get their hair, nails, brows, 

other beauty needs taken care of all right before Christmas?
This girl did.

Siri says I'm busy this week!

I'm trying to stay organized & plan ahead. 

I've made "menus" for awhile now.
Joe says that it's not a menu because he doesn't have a choice of what to eat, 

so it should be a feeding schedule. 

:)

Whatever, he loves my cooking and doesn't complain & I prefer "Menu".

I was asked last week if I stick to my weekly menus, 

and to be honest, I do for the most part.

Some things change, but I try not to schedule "leftover" nights, 

so that if I do run out of time, that's always an option.

Writing them on here keeps me organized & I'm more apt to do things when I write them down.

My Weekly Menu:

Monday:  Nacho Chicken Bake

Tuesday: Emeril's vodka sauce/sausage pasta (This is a single recipe, double it for more!)

Wednesday: Ribs in the oven {see, didn't make last week!}
Thursday: venison hamburger --homemade sloppy Joes
Friday: Grilled Chicken wings

Saturday: Christmas Eve @ Joe's Grandma's 

Sunday: Christmas Day!! 

I do make salads almost every night. 

If not salad, then some sort of veggie.

Ok, a little more coffee, then off to the gym!!

What's on your menu this week?
Stay sane & enjoy the Christmas rush!
