This Week’s Meal Plan

A quickie to report on what I plan to make and eat this week. Hopefully I’ll get a few other posts up this week, but we’ll see!

This week’s plan features a lot of chicken. I’m not sure I have this much chicken in the house, so I might have to buy some. I’d generally prefer to vary it some more, but these are what I want to make, so… here’s what I’m making! Other things I will eat because I have them: broccoli, Brussels sprouts, portobello mushrooms, arugula, sweet potatoes, red new potatoes, and avocados.

Sunday

Make:

  • Chicken salad salads (non-Whole30 version, so using dried cranberries and Greek yogurt from the original recipe)

Eat:

  • Whatever’s around! Plus, dinner at Woodberry Kitchen with Dan to celebrate my birthday. Can’t wait!

Monday (go to work day)

Eat:

  • Breakfast: Yogurt (maybe with almond butter and/or fruit), chicken sausage
  • Lunch: Chicken salad salad
  • Dinner: TBD
  • Snacks: Probably yogurt, maybe fruit, maybe some bars (Lara, RxBar, Epic)

Tuesday (telework day)

Make:

Eat:

  • Breakfast: Chicken sausage and maybe eggs (I’ll be taking my glucose challenge screening test, so I was advised to have a protein-heavy breakfast if I ate)
  • Lunch: TBD. Probably chicken salad salad
  • Dinner: Slow cooker buffalo chicken chili
  • Snacks: TBD

Wednesday (go to work day)

Eat:

  • Breakfast: Yogurt (maybe with almond butter and/or fruit), chicken sausage
  • Lunch: Chicken salad salad
  • Dinner: Pizza (I believe homemade by my book club hostess). Also some sort of dessert because it’s my birthday!
  • Snacks: Probably yogurt, maybe fruit, maybe some bars (Lara, RxBar, Epic)

Thursday (telework day)

Eat:

  • Breakfast: Egg sandwich: 1-2 fried eggs in butter with spinach between two pieces of toast, probably with cheese, hot sauce, and avocado
  • Lunch: Maybe leftover chili?
  • Dinner: TBD. Maybe salmon?
  • Snacks: TBD

Friday (go to work day)

Eat:

  • Breakfast: Yogurt (maybe with almond butter and/or fruit), chicken sausage
  • Lunch: Probably sweetgreen or Taylor Gourmet salad
  • Dinner: TBD
  • Snacks: Probably yogurt, maybe fruit, maybe some bars (Lara, RxBar, Epic)

Saturday

Make:

  • Jalapeno popper chicken salad from paleomg (yes, chicken salad twice in one week, but I’ve been wanting to re-make the one above for a while, and make this one. So that’s what I’ll do!)

Eat:

  • Oh who knows. But surely some of that jalapeño chicken salad.

Workouts

I’m only doing CrossFit anymore. And Barre3 classes. My prenatal yoga class ended and my birth class will now take the time of the prenatal yoga class, so I can’t sign up for the next session. Running is too uncomfortable. Other yoga is too lay-on-your-back or core or twist-intensive for my comfort. So, I’ll go to CrossFit at least 3x before work during the week, probably 4x, and will probably do at least one Barre3 workout.
