I’ve been tracking my meals again over the last few weeks, and it has become glaringly obvious that I have some very unhealthy eating habits. I always used to take my lunch with me back when I was working, and I tried to choose at least moderately healthy foods. Once I became a stay-at-home mom, though, I had the entire kitchen available for grazing. That made it really easy for me to slip into some bad habits. I don’t eat breakfast and I rarely eat lunch, so most days around 3:30pm I’m ravenous and subsequently eat everything in the kitchen.

I’m trying to mend my unhealthy ways a bit, so this week I didn’t stop at dinner when I made my meal plan. I have Cuties and blueberries on hand for breakfast, and I bought a rotisserie chicken and planned some simple lunches based on that. I spent some time yesterday preparing the ingredients so I can put my lunch together easily. I’ll be having a burrito bowl today — it’s already prepped and just needs to be drizzled with its chipotle sour cream sauce — and the rest of the week will be some combination of Thai chicken wraps, chicken salad and at least one more burrito bowl. Now I just have to recondition my brain to get used to eating an actual meal during the day.

Here’s my dinner plan for the week:

Monday: Coconut Curry Chicken

I moved things around a little last week, so we never had the Lavanya’s. Barring major mishaps, it’s happening today.

Tuesday: Breakfast for dinner

Last week’s BFD was such a tremendous success that we decided to do it again.

Wednesday: Leftovers or sandwiches

We’ll probably have leftover chicken curry. If not, we’ll have some kind of sandwiches. Basketball practice has made Wednesday nights a little chaotic on the dining front.

Thursday: Sloppy Joes

We’ll have frozen french fries, too.

Friday: Pizza

Last week I grilled cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza and BBQ chicken pizza while my brother and his family were visiting. I’m thinking I may try to do a barbacoa version this week.
