It’s Sunday night and I just realized I’m actually in town and should do a Sunday Set up to set myself up for a healthy, happy week…
especially because I ate sweet potato tots today. Busted. And oh so good.
PSA: Sweet potato tots are seasonal at Sonic – get them NOW!
But instead of stocking up on groceries I visited my fam <3 
I’m going to hit the store with a list tomorrow at lunch. Dinner menu for the week:
-
Monday – Rotisserie Chicken, asparagus & sweet potatoes
-
Tuesday – Turkey meatloaf
-
Wednesday – Leftovers of whatever’s around
-
Thursday – Eggizza

-

-
Tuesday – 5 tempo HM pace
-
Wednesday – Strength/yoga
-
Thursday – 10 miles MGP
-
Friday – 6 pack Level 2
Saturday – LR?
Question: Do you plan your meals for the week?
I usually eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch, but dinner is random unless I plan and shop for it.

I usually plan my lunches because I eat them at school, and if I don’t I’ll just end up eating out. Sometimes I even cook everything on sunday so everything is ready and packed for the whole week. Dinners I don’t really have a plan for..
I’m gonna need in on that eggizza on Thursday..
I used to eat the same breakfast/lunch eeeeveryday..but these days, it’s a box of surprises. No plans..just winging it! ha!
I always plan dinner, otherwise I end up buying some many random things in the supermarket. I never plan lunch. It’s usually dinner leftovers.
Ok….somebody fill me in, please. What is an eggizza? I’m all about eggs & pizza but can’t quite imagine what the combination looks like!!
I plan out a weeks worth of dinners every Saturday before hitting the grocery store with list and coupons in hand. This has helped decrease our grocery budget which is always a plus.
Spending time with the family is good.
Are the tots glazed? Or is it just the picture?
I haven’t been planning my meals lately, but I’m going to try to get back into it! It’s so much easier just to spend a few minutes planning them out each week! I don’t spend near as much time standing in front of the fridge with the door open wondering what in the crap I can throw together!
I plan for dinner – we eat the same breakfast every day (but vary it week on week, otherwise it gets boring), and have leftovers for lunch. Gotta love leftovers!
Eggizza? Sound interesting! I usually plan my meals the night before. I usually eat a lot of the same foods so it’s pretty simple.
I always try to plan my meals for the week on Sundays but can never plan past Wednesday. I really want to get better at planning though so that I don’t have to go to the store 4 times a week.
I try to plan a couple weeks worth of options. I don’t have a set meal for a set day – just about 10-12 recipes that I know I have everything on hand for so I can pick each morning!
I plan my meals B-either egg cassarole, cereal or oatmeal-anything quick and easy that I can eat before I head out; L-usually make a protein (chicken, turkey meatloaf with veggies/salad); dinners-I try to make something on Sunday that we can have for leftovers atleast 1x during the week (soup, chili, tacos etc).
Sundays become a day of prepping and cooking and I love it. Although, I fear that when the nice weather comes, I will not be spending so much time indoor on Sunday prepping. We will see!
I definitely plan! I make a meal plan for the whole week, and on Sunday I do the shopping and food prepping.
It definitely keeps me calm and helps me make the best choices for food!
I pretty much have to plan a few meals ahead of time, so I can get the stuff for it. Otherwise, it’s brinner every day, which I’d actually be okay with…
hahah that cartoon made me laugh so hard. That’s exactly how I am with my husband when I’m trying to make a dinner menu, tell me what you want and I’ll tell you if I can make it haha
Can I tell you that it does make me feel better that you eat real food from real fast food places sometimes?! I also had sonic tots yesterday….with cheese, but I rationalized that this wasn’t THAT bad because I had those on the side of my 6 inch Subway sandwich loaded with veggies. =)
Breakfast and lunches are usually close to being the same every day. I have to make a meal plan for dinners and make a list to go grocery shopping. If I don’t, I buy a lot of whatever is on an end cap and marshmallows.
P.S. Bunny shaped marshmallows are intrinsically more delicious than regular marshmallows.
I usually plan my dinners for the week, but breakfast and lunches are sorta random. If I don’t plan dinners then we end up eating out.
I am trying to be better about planning meals so that I shop to the menu and not just shop what is on sale.

I use to be really good at meal planning (evening meals) but I’ve been so uninspired lately. Even going grocery shopping is a mindless chore. Breakfast is ALWAYS the same every day unless I’m not home and lunch is typically the same thing every day. I sound like such a snooze-fest. I need to at least get back to doing “new recipe” Sunday.
Sweet potato tots, omg. I am horrible at meal planning. I totally admire you.
