Weigh In and Menu Planning

Wooooooooooo! Down to 188.8lbs! I knew today would be a loss cause of all the shoveling I did on Wednesday, but I didn't think it would be that much! YAY!

Now I'm taking a crack at menu planning. Both to eat more real meals (instead of some pasta and sauce or something equally lazy) but also to get rid of the random food in the house. I mean, I love having lots of food in my house, but when it's been in the cupboard for a year and no one's given it a second glance, it's time to use it and not buy it again! I will try to make things as diet friendly as possible, but sometimes you just need comfort food!

I'm not a perfect menu planner cause I often cook on cravings or energy (as in, I don't wanna cook!). So my menu plan is basically, I'm gonna cook this as some point in the next while, but who knows what day. I figure, if I can get 2 1/2-3 weeks worth of meals planned, that'll take me through a month (with Lee cooking, leftover days, or serve yourself days to fill in).

Here's what I have so far for Feb:
Mexican Mac & Cheese
Pork Stew
Mexican Casserole
Home Style Mac & Cheese
Dogs & Taters
Calzones
Honey Garlic Pork Chops with Corn and Rice Casserole

There of course will be repeats for favorites, but I'm also trying to go through all my recipe cards, one by one, and try all the stuff in there to see if it's even worth keeping. I have a slew of recipes online too that I need to go through (I'm really bad for writing/typing out a recipe just cause it sounds good, then keeping it forever without even trying it).
