BLTs - Bites Licks and Tastes, plus a quick weekly menu


 
I have noticed that what really gets me, are BLTs. Bites, licks, and tastes. A bite of my child's cookie, a taste of my husband's dinner and lick- okay a tablespoonful of ice cream, 3 cheetos, and 4 chips... after a while they start adding up. I think if I avoided all BLTs, I might not even need to diet. I think a lot of my calories are coming from that. My goal has been to track everything. My goal now is to track everything and avoid BLTs.
 I do really well with my exercise. I am even working super hard to cook healthy.  I have tried diligently to add more vegetables and I've come up with some delicious dinners.  But I really think that one of the biggest changes I need to make is a small change- the BLTs.  That's the goal.  Wish me luck. :)
  How about you.  What small changes could you make to get healthier?

So here is a quick list of the dinners that I made this week.  I'll get recipes up soon.  
Sunday -- Pork Sirloin Roast with mashed potatoes and salad.  I almost always serve salad. It's so filling and good for you.
Monday -- Sweet Potato and Black Bean Quesadillas. (I made some with whole grain tortillas and some with white tortillas.  My kids loved the whole grain tortillas!) They were amazing. and Salad.
Tuesday -- Very Veggie Lasagna Casserole.  You can find the recipe Here. and of course, salad.  We also had whole wheat garlic bread
Wednesday -- Grilled Cheese (on whole wheat, of course) and Tomato Soup for the family.  I had a left-over quesadilla.
Thursday -- Lower Fat Stroganoff, fresh veggies with dip and green beans.
Friday -- Husband cooks-- will probably be burgers.  I will most likely eat mine bunless with yummy avocado added.
Saturday -- oh Saturdays are always a toss up.  so Free day.  :)
 Here is a list of Breakfasts that I made this week. Recipes soon.
Sunday -- I didn't eat breakfast.  :)
Monday -- Whole grain Breakfast Burrito
Tuesday -- Whole Grain Breakfast Burrito (what can I say- if I like it, I'll eat it 2 days in a row)
Wednesday -- 1 egg
Thursday -- 1 egg, 1 buttermilk, dollar sized pancake
Friday -- 1 egg, 1 pancake
 Okay so breakfast hasn't been exciting this week.  However, I will get the recipe for the breakfast burrito up soon.  It really is tasty, fast and low cal.
