Meal Plan: Week 3

From Grandbaby Cakes

The last couple of weeks have flown by and my clean eating goal has been much easier to stick to this time around than in the past.  I think that allowing myself a couple of “cheats” a week has made it more attainable.  I can say no to a cookie during the week because I know that I can have a small bowl of Ben and Jerry’s on the weekend.  I work hard to stay within the guidelines 90% of the time, so my 10% of “cheat” food has to be worth it!

As my meal plans show, I have kept it pretty simple and repetitive as well.  If I have to spend all day in the kitchen or rethink what I’m having for lunch every day, I would be likely to grab a bag of goldfish out of convenience.   I don’t mind eating the same thing during the day and mixing it up at dinner time.  Convenience is key!
