Anyways I had someone ask about the details of what I bought and what I made for dinner so I thought for anyone interested here you go! I meal plan two weeks in advance. It takes all of the stress out of making dinner. I always have what I need in my kitchen and it's prepped and ready to go.
Sometimes I find that I'm either uninspired or suffering from information overload, (Thank you pinterest!) so I usually assign certain foods to certain days. Monday we usually have Mexican food. Thursday we usually have something in the crock pot because my husband can put it in when he gets home from work.

Grocery List: January 12:
Case of water
2 gal milk
2 bags of corn chips
pretzels
5 lean cuisine meals
dozen eggs
loaf of bread
2 boxes of Kashi go lean crunch
4 cans Campbell's Chunky Soup
20 tubs of Yoplait Yogurt
4 tubs of Muller yogurt
1 package of chicken thighs
1 pound of ground turkey
2 packages Oscar Meyer lunch meat
1 green pepper
1 head of iceberg lettuce
1 bunch of celery
1 bunch of green onions
1 bunch of bananas
1 bag of frozen strawberries
1 package of shredded mozzarella cheese
2 packages of taco seasoning
1 package Dole pre-made Caesar Salad
3 packages of rice
3 packages of pasta
1 pack crunchy taco shells
3 boxes of Special K cereal
Total: $80.93
Just in case you were wondering we don't eat 5 boxes of cereal every week. That cereal will last us for about 6 weeks or so. I have been trying to plan healthier meals. Right now is the busy season for both my husbands and my job so I'm trying to avoid unnecessary weight gain while still keeping us fueled for the gym.
I usually go to the grocery store 3 times per month. 2 big grocery trips and then one in between if we run out of something or I need to replenish my fresh produce. For the most part I am very go with the flow when it comes to shopping.
On a different note as most of you know I am participating in the 500 Mini Marathon. Whoo hoo! I'm definitely excited and I have been trying to stay consistent at the gym. But as race day gets closer and closer my training needs to become more serious. I have a training schedule so again me having to worry about planning has been taken out of the equations and for that I'm glad! It's a mix of strength training, stretching, and of course walking/running. I'm very pleased with how it's set up.
I hope that quenched some curiosity! Until next time thanks for reading!
