But guess what? I can start again! I can get back to the plan and work it!
So I am back....
I have made progress, and with that progress I can share some more before and after pictures.
I also have some more things going out of my house, so I have taken pictures of my free stuff for this post.
 |
| Letter file/ inbox out box. Three removable shelves. |
 |
| Beautiful glass bowl with lid. I just never use it, but it is very nice. |
 |
| A couple of serving trays. Both are plastic, white one is hard like melmac, the gold one is softer. |
 |
| My baby is five. I don't think I need these anymore :-) |
 |
| These are actually a dark purple. Since they are plastic you can't use them in the oven, so they really don't work for us. |
 |
| This is one of those things I always keep when I am de-cluttering. It is Pampered Chef. The egg thing goes in your freezer and keeps things cold, it flips over to a smooth side too. I just don't use it. I am pretty sure I have the dividers to also use it as a chilled veggie tray. |
So all of the above items are free if you want them, comment or send me a message. I have them in a box in the back of my vehicle. The box goes to the second hand shop on November 18th.
I also have a menu plan for this week:
MONDAY: Crispy Lickin' Chicken (S) w/ sweet potatoes (XO)
TUESDAY: Mama's Famous Meatloaf (made with three kinds of meat) (S); mashed potatoes for kids, mashed cauliflower for me
WEDNESDAY: Wipe Your Mouth BBQ (E) with brown rice
THURSDAY: Parmesan crusted Tilapia (S)
FRIDAY: Pizza (S)
SATURDAY: Spaghetti Squash with meat sauce(S)
SUNDAY: Lemon Herb Drummies (S)
** all meals are served with toss salad or a steamed veggie, kiddos can have bread and butter or fruit.
I am going to share a couple of things that are working, and remind you why I need you to hold me accountable. :-)
Last week I did a little freezer cooking, in preparation for the busy holiday season coming up, and to better keep myself on track with my Trim Healthy Mama eating plan. Actually, I followed this exact plan https://thewellplannedkitchen.com/2015/10/23/15-trim-healthy-mama-freezer-meals-in-90-minutes I am so happy with the results, and we have a bunch of healthy meals in our freezer in fact three of the meals we are eating this week came from this little cooking adventure. It did take me two sessions, because I didn't have a full 90 minutes to complete the tasks.
For motivation I have been following: www.theminimalmom.com on youtube. Her videos are short and to the point. They also help wash the fog from brain about "stuff".
I have crashed in several if not all the areas of my life in the last two weeks. I hate when I get into survival mode, and plunge to self destruct mode. You know how it looks....first my schedule is overloaded so I grab some coffee and a breakfast sandwich from a fast food place, and then go straight to may-as-well-have-the-donut-too, mode. I think being aware that I can stay on plan even when my schedule or life gets hard, in fact that is when I need it most. I can promise you that the low blood sugar and coffee crash in the afternoon of an already full day, did not help at all.
So I will write when I am doing well, and when I am not doing well. I will begin again and again and again until I crawl to the finish line if necessary. I will try to write about this journey and continue to write about the Wounded Hearts and the journeys we are sharing.
Until next time, God Bless. And don't forget to let me know if you see something in my out box that would bless you!!
