Meal Plans

Image
By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
So today I thought I would write out my meal plan for the next week.
How we do meal plans in our household isn't like how most families do them. We plan out our suppers for the next week or so based on what we currently have in our house and what is on sale. Then, for breakfast and lunch we basically "wing it" or have Shakeology. So I will be going grocery shopping on Monday and will plan out suppers until then. Then I will plan out our meals for all of next week and next weekend.

Today (Thursday)- Chicken Parmagiana
Friday- Chicken Fajitas
Saturday- Cook Out (burgers/host dogs on the grill)
Sunday- Left Overs


Next Week:

Monday- BBQ Baked Chicken
Smother Chicken in BBQ sauce of your choice and bake it.

Tuesday- Marinated Italian Chicken (Baked)
Marinate chicken over night in Italian dressing of your choice and bake.

Wednesday- Broccoli Chicken Casserole 
Bottom Layer: Broccoli
Middle Layer: Cooked Chopped Chicken
Top Layers: Cream of Broccoli mixed with milk
                    Cheese
                    Bread crumbs mixed with butter

 Thursday- Chicken Picatta
Dip chicken in egg, cover in flour, fry in little coconut oil both sides, remove from pan, add lemon juice to pan, mix and heat with oil, add over top of chicken.

 Friday- Chicken Fajitas
Heat sliced cooked chicken on stove, remove, in same pan add coconut oil and sliced peppers. Add fajita seasoning and mix. Add chicken and mix. Let simmer until done.

 Saturday- Chicken Enchiladas
Bake chicken breasts. While chicken is cooking, prepare enchilada mix: salsa, cilantro, parsley, lime juice mixed in food processor. When chicken is done cut into small cubes. Mix half of mix with chicken and mozzarella cheese. Put into tortillas. Spoon some left over mix on top. Add mozzarella.

 Sunday- Left Overs


As you can tell we eat plenty of chicken. For a while we were just having chicken breasts every night and it was getting pretty boring. But I started venturing out and trying different things. Some nights I don't follow a recipe and just see how things turn out but most of the time I always have a recipe and usually follow it until I get the hang of it. Then that's when I start trying my own stuff and changing things up.

Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Today my husband and I completed the Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run! We got there at 07:30 bright and early. Before we went I ate a little bit of fruit and packed some things we might need (lots of towels, baby wipes, eye drops, snacks for afterwards, water, and electrolytes). I really enjoyed myself and it was empowering to accomplish it! Jake and I did it together all the way through. I'm so thankful that I have such an amazing husband that is so patient with me and helped me all the way through the event. The event was just short of 6 miles. It had over ten obstacles and included mud pits and a run through the woods that was very muddy! At the end we got some free water, Gatorade, fruit, snacks, and beer! I was very surprised but my Fitbit Surge held up pretty well! The only thing is when we got sprayed with water at the end, the force of the water must have hit one of the buttons and it turned off my Fitbit. That was as we were crossing the finis...

LASIK: Three Week Review

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
So on May 27th I had my LASIK surgery! I'm going to write the great, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The Day Of The morning of the surgery I woke up very early to make the 1.5 hour drive the where the center was. They said to make sure to eat the morning of because they didn't want the valium to make my stomach upset. I managed to get some nuts, granola, and some other snacks down. I was really nervous so eating a bit was hard. If I could do it again I would have eaten an actual breakfast! I didn't eat enough and afterwards I was very nauseous. When I finally got to the clinic I waited about a half an hour after my appointment time to be seen. I wasn't in a huge hurry just very anxious and the wait didn't help. I already new what to expect but I just wanted it done and over with. I was finally called in and we went over some paperwork that I had to sign, they made sure I knew about all the risks involved, I made the payment, and then they gave me a little happ...

My First Day at GNC

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Well today was my first day at GNC. When I asked for my days off she seemed understanding because I brought it up on the first day. However, my probation period is ninety days and I'm not allowed to use the cash register and I'm taking tests and training the whole time. So by the time I'm planning to leave and start working in a Fitness Facility I would still be on probation. I feel bad for only staying with them such a short time and them investing training into me. I'm wondering how long this will last. I plan to stick it out for a while and see how it goes. I'm not worrying about it because I know God has great plans for me and I just have to trust Him. I have applied for ten fitness facility positions on post this week and this weekend I will be applying to fitness facilities in the city that I am in. Hopefully something comes through and I can start putting my schooling and passion to use!
