Getting ready to start!

Somehow, even though there are only two of us in the house, and even though we have 2 refrigerators, we never seem to have enough room for all of our food. We don't keep our freezers well organized enough, so we forget what's in there, and keep buying new food.


In preparation for our Biggest Loser "Go Live" contest start on 1/5, I cleaned out both refrigerators, and we are all set to go. We have tons of grass fed organic chicken, beef and even bison and salmon. We also have lots of frozen vegetables and lots of whole grain sides in the pantry. We haven't even gone grocery shopping, but we are all set for week one!

I always seem to waste my fresh produce, so I'm going to try to stick to setting my meal plan each week and making sure I follow it as much as possible. That way I will reduce waste and ensure a well balanced, healthy diet.

Unfortunately for Darcy, I am getting a fill for my lap band on the first day of our competition, so the first 2 or 3 days will be liquids for me, followed by 2 days of "mushies" or softer foods, and I won't be eating normal meals until the weekend. She will be somewhat on her own for meal planning this week, but I'm sure she'll do just fine!

I will publish my weekly meal plan starting next week when I'm on normal foods again. It's always helpful for me to get ideas of healthy, well balanced meals from others, so hopefully this can help you as well if you are looking for some healthy options.  I'd love to hear what you are eating as well!

Have a Healthy Monday!! 



Tomorrow is the last day before the competition begins. I am starting to feel a little bit better, although I'm still very run down and I have a lot of trouble breathing. I'm hoping to be doing some light swimming, at least, by the end of the week.
