You can check out my meal plan for Eat in Month 2015 week 2. Here’s how my second week of the challenge went.

Eat in Month 2015 Week 2 Check-In

Sunday, January 11, 2015: My dance fitness company had a holiday party, but luckily for me, it was potluck-style. I had a couple people ask me if this counted as a cheat, but I didn’t think it did for a couple reasons: 1) we weren’t at a restaurant 2) most of the food was home-cooked. I enjoyed some great eats with some sparkling vino and the company of my dance friends. It was a great time!

Monday, January 12, 2015: We actually cooked pot roast in the slow cooker Sunday even though I had the potluck for dinner. It was supposed to be hubby’s dinner on Sunday and our lunch for later in the week. I recently became one of the co-organizers of a local Meetup, so I had that after work. I should have planned better because I was really, really hungry even before the Meetup started. I had a late dinner of soup, steamed veggies, and a toasted bagel.

Tuesday, January 13, 2015: On Tuesday, I started the day with an egg and whole wheat toast breakfast sandwich on-the-go. And we had more pot roast, so that made for a great lunch. I cashed my once-a-week Starbucks in on Tuesday with a grande chai tea latte. We did a simple dinner of grilled chicken with Homestead rub. That stuff tastes good on everything! I think we were supposed to have rice pilaf, but hubby requested mac and cheese. We whipped up a box of Annie’s.

Wednesday, January 14, 2015: Wednesday was a big day for me. We moved my Zumba class to a new location after having been at the old one for well over a year. I had another toasted egg sandwich for breakfast, a turkey cheese sandwich for lunch, and a ginger tea and KIND snack bar in the afternoon. The new class location kick-off went great! We had a couple unexpected issues we had to deal with right before, but overall it all went well. One of the issues was a giant stage that isn’t normally supposed to be in the space. You’d think it would be good, but the floor pieces weren’t locked in. So, all the pieces were moving around under the instructors while we danced. Yikes! Luckily, no one fell through and class went off swimmingly. I think the new location is going to be great!

Thursday, January 15, 2015: As the week closed, I found myself running a little later, so I had a KIND bar for breakfast. Hubby made my ginger soy grilled chicken for dinner, and we cooked extra for lunch. I had a half pumpkin chocolate chip muffin from Great Harvest for dessert. I was supposed to have it for breakfast, but I forgot it was there in the morning.

Friday, January 16, 2015: I tried doing the leftover chicken for lunch, but it wasn’t my favorite. I’m not a fan of the way chicken tastes re-heated. I ate it, but I’m not going to plan for another one of those any time soon. The only way I can seem to eat chicken re-heated is if it’s in soup. I really, really wanted another Starbucks on Friday, but I held strong and made some Sleepytime tea instead. And Friday has become my late work day. I was at the office till 7:30pm. I had planned an easy dinner just in case this happened, so dinner was a cinch. I made my Easy Tortellini Soup, and it hit the spot. I used Trader Joe’s spinach tortellini this time, and I think it was even better with this than the cheese I used originally.

Saturday, January 17, 2015: I had a meeting in the afternoon on Saturday, so I had a late lunch of leftover tortellini soup. The star of Saturday was definitely dinner. I haven’t had this shrimp in forever, but it’s one of my fave ways to prep it. I cook it quickly with lemon and garlic. It’s yummy! I also whipped up some of my Rosemary Garlic Farro. A whole foods oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and milk went great with a relaxing night in and my new Sleep Haven candle.

How’s your challenge going? Is it getting easier or harder as we near the end?

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. I cheated twice last week. On Monday I went out a friend who I haven’t seen in over a year. And on Tuesday I had a work related event that included dinner at a restaurant. I regret nothing! 🙂
    The rest of the month should be easier, as I don’t have anything on my schedule that would tempt me to eat out.
