Last week, I was a kitchen superstar. Seriously, with the help of a meal plan provided by Kathy Patalsky, I prepped every meal, snack, and smoothie. I felt a little over-the-top, but I packed Rob's breakfasts, lunches, etc. each day with a little love note, and he, in turn, took to leaving me little notes in my lunches! It was pretty awesome.
So, fueled by that success, I drafted an extravagant meal plan for this week. One thing I really liked about last week's plan was that each day, we started with fruit and tea, and had a second breakfast later. This is just my style, perfect for me after running.
Also, I read on one of my facebook groups that Vega-one (which is an older formula) was on sale at TJ Max's and Marshall's, so Rob and I have been looking each time we are near one. We found four tubs at the store near his work, selling for $35 each, when I was normally paying in between $55-60 for them! So I pulled some of their recipies for smoothies for our second breakfasts this week. I've already pre-blended tomorrow's, and it is YUM!
