\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As I mentioned before, I’ve just rejoined Weight Watchers and I am determined to be a good loser.<\/p>\n

To help make that happen, I am being much more intentional about what I eat and making modifications so I can lose that weight… and then keep it off.<\/p>\n

Here’s what we will be eating this week:<\/p>\n

Breakfasts:<\/h2>\n

For me, 10 Grain Hot Cereal<\/a><\/p>\n

For the kids:<\/p>\n

Smoothies and Toast with Peanut Butter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Egg Tacos and Orange Juice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Breakfast out on the way to school (if all goes well!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Waffles and smoothies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cereal<\/strong><\/p>\n

School Lunches:<\/h2>\n

Cheese sticks wrapped with ham<\/strong><\/p>\n

almonds and dates<\/p>\n

fruit<\/p>\n

Grilled Cheese sandwich<\/strong><\/p>\n

dates or pistachios<\/p>\n

honeydew melon<\/p>\n

Turkey rollups with cream cheese<\/strong><\/p>\n

apple<\/p>\n

dried fruit and nuts<\/p>\n

My lunches:<\/h2>\n

Spicy Carrot Soup ( I make a batch and freeze individual portions.)<\/p>\n

Sushi from the grocery store<\/p>\n

Chicken lemongrass soup<\/p>\n

Dinners:<\/h2>\n

Pecan roasted salmon over wilted spinach<\/strong><\/p>\n

Honey mustard green beans<\/a><\/p>\n

Couscous<\/p>\n

Fruit salad<\/p>\n

I have made roasted salmon with a spicy rub<\/a> many, many times. This week my husband asked me to try try a new pecan rub he picked up at the store. We’ll see how it goes!<\/p>\n

Peppered pork tenderloin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Garden salad<\/p>\n

Baked Potatoes<\/p>\n

Steamed Broccoli<\/p>\n

This is another very simple meal… I’ll even confess that the pork tenderloin is pre-seasoned, so all I have to do is pop it in the oven. I’ll use the crockpot for the potatoes<\/a>, which makes this a perfect meal for after a busy day.<\/p>\n

Tacos<\/strong><\/p>\n

chips, queso and salsa<\/p>\n

mexican rice<\/p>\n

black beans<\/p>\n

pineapple, apples and oranges<\/p>\n

I found the taco filling recipe on the Weight Watchers site and will serve it with corn tortillas to keep the Points Plus low. I’ll skip the chips, but the rest of my family couldn’t have tacos without them! I’ll also serve fat free cheese for me, the real stuff for everyone else.<\/p>\n

Popcorn shrimp<\/strong><\/p>\n

(This is babysitter night, which means date night for me… Yipeee!)<\/p>\n

Macaroni and Cheese<\/p>\n

Apples, peaches & melon<\/p>\n

Cucumbers and ranch dressing<\/p>\n
