Power in a plan

Tonight's experimental recipe is in the oven and will be tested for lunch tomorrow. So now I'm settling in to watch The Biggest Loser and then get to studying. But before I study, I shall blog.

Since starting school this semester I have taken my lunch every day. It's part of my dinner routine actually. I mean it sounds like a duh, but I usually either make extra at dinner time for the next day's lunch or I just go ahead and make whatever I plan to eat the next day.

Knowing ahead of time, even just a day, helps me make better decisions for my other meals. Will I want to make oatmeal for breakfast and salmon for dinner? Or can I splurge and get an Egg McMuffin for breakfast with shrimp salad for dinner (usually I can't splurge on fast food because I'm broke)?

Anyway, I also plan dinner a day or two ahead. I'm pretty sure weight loss experts call this approach a meal plan. Weird, huh?

I'm pretty excited about tomorrow's lunch, too. It will be leftovers from tonight's Turkey Sliders, a Balsamic Vinegar pasta salad and my new recipe for Sweet Potato Chips! Doesn't that sounds super yummy???

Oh! Interesting info from The Biggest Loser (I'm watching the show for my first season, will blog about it soon): When you're stressed out your body retains water. FASCINATING!
