I am so glad to finally see the end of the week. I have been in desperate need of a weekend. My house has been in desperate need of a weekend. Really my whole organization of my home & life needed a Saturday some kind of bad. The last few weeks have been back to back stuff. There have been fundraisers and revival, meetings & conferences, work and exercise. There have been so many things going on that it is a wonder that I could keep this plan going. However, today there was nowhere I had to be. (My husband had to take Jesse to ball practice – but that was his thing. Thank goodness.)
I had decided that we would go to Durham today and go to Sam’s Club to do some shopping. We didn’t have a lot of time so we only got to go to Sam’s Club and Target. Then when we came home Kevin and Jesse left for ball practice. SAM went to take a nap. So I got busy in the kitchen. I had a plan on how to get organized and with the house quiet I was working on getting it done.
I had seen the other week on a web site where the family planned there meals ahead of time and then prepared for most of the meals all in one day. They chopped and seasoned and bagged everything and then put it all together in one container to put in the fridge until the day that the meal was being cook. Well I wasn’t quite that organized. I really would have loved to gotten THAT much accomplished. However, I did get a lot done & I am super excited about it. I got my strawberries & grapes washed and prepared and put into individual bags and then all bagged into a big bag. I also grilled 3 pieces of Tuna and diced it up & bagged it for snacks this week. I also chopped up roasted chicken breast and bagged them for snacks or breakfast, too. Then I chopped up veggies for several days and bagged them up too. I feel so ahead of myself because of the things I got done today. Not only that – I got the kitchen cleaned up – well it was even better then how I found it. I didn’t have THAT much time.
All in all I am grateful for what I have accomplished. This will help me stay on plan this week. This should help me the most on the days that my menu is more limited because I have got choices already made and individually bagged in my fridge.
Today’s meals: Oatmeal w/ blueberries, roasted potato, carrots, & cauliflower, yogurt, steak, salad, grilled veggies, yogurt
Today’s exercise: Walking . . . while shopping . . . and while preparing all my food . . .I have been on my feet most of the day but I haven’t done “real” exercise.
The plans of the hard working person lead to prosperity but everyone who is always in a hurry ends up in poverty. Proverbs 21:5
Guess this memory verse is working on me. . .
