Getting Back on Track

It's been quite awhile since I've done any menu planning...probably November? December ran away with our trip to Japan, and January was a disaster as far as attempting to follow any type of food plan, so here we are, in February. I'll be honest, my body is ridiculously unhappy with me this week because of all the crap I've been eating lately. I normally eat pretty healthy, but this week...well it's been day after day of carb-heavy, restaurant portions of...well, not healthy food. Cheesecake Factory last Monday (complete with a slice of cheesecake), Boboli pizzas for lunch twice, a cheeseburger for lunch one day, Red Robin (complete with milkshake and fries), pizza again last night and Superbowl food today. Yup, I've had a stomachache every night this week. So, this week, now that we are finally setting into a more normal routine around here, I'm hoping to be more intentional about what I put into my body. I've also discovered that with my husband's new job at as youth pastor, our weekly schedule is now on a Tuesday through Monday pattern--Monday is his day off (Sundays are not days off when you work in a church, as is evidenced by the fact that we were there for ELEVEN hours straight today). So Monday is like our Saturday. Tuesday is my grocery shopping/week begins day. Anyways, all that to say, here's what is on our menu this week:

Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Red & Green Winter Stoup and Spinach Salad (Kale and Spinach in one meal, I should get a gold star for "super food" usage!)
Wednesday: Garlic Chicken and Quinoa Stirfry
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Middle School lock in (which I am sure will involve junk food...so we'll attempt to eat healthy leftovers beforehand!)
Weekend: Pesto Chicken Pasta
Monday: Crock Pot Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burritos
