Landi Menu Plan: Monday, September 5th-Sunday, September 11th

Recently, I have been feeling pretty lousy and I am convinced it is because I have not been eating very well and my body is revolting. My face has really broken out, I feel tired and sluggish, and I am displeased with the fit of my clothing.  That being said, my menu plans are somewhat tailored to a better healthy eating plan for me and my family.  My biggest focus is adding more fruits and veggies on a regular basis and decreasing my portion sizes.  I love to eat and I am not going just give up the things I love, however, I am going to eat in moderation.  So here is this week's plan...


Monday
Breakfast: French Toast Bake
Lunch: Family BBQ (burgers, fresh green beans, sweet corn)
Dinner: Southwest Salad-field greens tossed with 2T of French dressing, black beans, sweet corn, tortilla strips, chopped tomatoes and bell peppers

Tuesday
Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with spinach and mushrooms
Lunch:  Tuna salad (made with 1/2 mayo and 1/2 plain yogurt), on bread or crackers, veggies
