Our weeks are a day later than everyone else's because of Jeremy's days off so bare with me. Also, I just got a Sam's membership so I'm going there tomorrow to get groceries!
I'm trying really hard to incorporate more E meals and to use less cheese. I can't believe I just said "use less cheese". :'( lol But we're going on vacation in 3 1/2 weeks and I need to lose some inches!
Also, I don't put sides. Obviously I'm going to have a side like green beans or something. But not always.

THM Picky Eaters Fuel Cycle
I have always been a picky eater. I'll try it once but if I don't like it I'm not going to force myself to eat it, no matter how "good for you" it is. I have been taking sugar out of the picture so I'm trying to desensitize my taste buds but I don't want to waste money on cauliflower to make something if I'm not going to like it. Not yet anyways. I will try mashed cauliflower one day, but not yet. Besides, there's lots of options out there!
Reasons that I'm a picky eater:
You should also note that I stay at home with my son so I don't have to have something easy for lunch.
*I'm editing this to list options instead of a menu
Deep S Days (1, 2 & 3)
Snack options- Skinny Chocolate (pg 371), Cake in a Mug (pg 379) (lemon version- replace cocoa with protein powder, add water, add juice from 1/2 lemon and salt) {my opinion of the skinny chocolate- not a fan.},
Breakfast- 2 Eggs in coconut oil or butter and Bacon, 2 eggs in coconut oil and 2 sausage patties, Pancakes (Cake in a mug recipe on page 379 using Protein powder instead of cocoa)
Lunch/Supper- Chicken Salad (lettuce, spinach, homemade Ranch recipe), hamburger (with mayo and pickles), grilled chicken (with skin) with lemon pepper, seasoned salt and buffalo sauce, baked chicken, Easy Chicken Yogurt Bake (pg 322), Steak and green beans with butter, Carne Picada Meat (Aldi), Fajita Chicken Salad,
Sides- green beans, side salad with Ranch, spinach salad with Ranch, jicama
FP Days (4 & 5)
Snack options- Strawberry cake {my opinion of that- YUM!}, Cheesecake Cookies Squared,
Breakfast- Light Baked Custard (pg 218) {my opinion on this- it needs help. I added more sweetener and strawberries because of the texture and taste. It pretty much tasted like plain egg whites without the strawberries. Even with them I choked it down and kept my eye on the prize}, Cinnamon Strudel, Triple Zero Yogurt with a few strawberries,
Lunch/ Supper- Turkey Roll-ups (pg 299) mini meat loaves (pg 318) {my opinion on this- My husband wasn't a big fan. I'm not sure why because we use to eat turkey burgers a lot and that's pretty much what this is. We did put buffalo sauce on top and it was okay. I actually enjoyed it as leftovers the next day more than freshly made. I added a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and pickle spears}, FP Salad (pg 301), Turkey Meatballs, Easy Chicken Yogurt Bake (pg 322), Joseph's Pita Pizza (pg 280), Joseph's Pita with Deli meat and LC cheese, Oat Fiber Bread with Deli meat and LC cheese
Sides- Side salad with lemon juice as the dressing, green beans, jicama,
E Days (6 & 7)
Snack options- baked apple slices with cinnamon, Apple cinnamon yogurt (pg 250), apple-oatmeal-cream-pie
Breakfast- Sweet Cinnamon Quinoa (pg 227), Trim Healthy Pancakes (pg 223), Apple cinnamon yogurt (pg 250), Triple Zero Yogurt with Strawberries or oats, Toast with Apple Butter, Peanut Butter Apple Muffins (these might be Crossover), Protein Packed French Toast, Apple Cinnamon Upside Down Cake, Apple Pie Muffins,
Lunch/Supper- Mozzarella and Turkey Toast (pg 239), Rice and Chicken, Lettuce Wraps (pg 297), Spinach Chicken, Easy Chicken Yogurt Bake (pg 322), Sandwich (on plan bread, deli meat, LC cheese),
Side options- Side salad (light Ranch), Rice, Quinoa, jicama
I have to give props to the authors of the Turkey Meatballs and the Ranch dressing because both of those recipes can be either S or E (The Meatballs can even be FP) and they tell you what to do in order to make them each Fuel. That can be confusing!
Reasons that I'm a picky eater:
- I don't like seafood- I really don't like the thought of it
- The only "on plan" vegetables that I like are lettuce and green beans
- I don't like coffee, coconut, beans or mushrooms
- I don't like oatmeal but I like oatmeal in cookies
- I'm cool like that :)

So here is a list of recipes that picky eaters will enjoy.
I actually have this list saved on a document on my computer so that I can use it to meal plan!
Please note that some of these recipes are not on plan but when I make them I use on plan ingredients. So if a recipe says 'milk' I use almond milk, or if it calls for noodles I use Dreamfields noodles, etc.
Also, unless the recipe has a book page, the link is going to bring you to Pinterest.

Baby Wesley
When we lived in Nebraska, we didn't have many friends that weren't POL (Jeremy's job) but one of our best friend couples were our neighbors! He got out of the military a year before Jeremy and they stayed with us in-between getting out of their house and actually moving. It was so sad, I wasn't sure we would ever see them again. They were moving to California. Our dogs were even best friends! They didn't have any kids yet but they were trying. Jessica is the one that brought me to the hospital and stayed with me, when I went in to labor (Jeremy was deployed). She was a good friend when it seemed like I didn't have any.
When they moved to California they ended up getting pregnant!! And their sweet baby boy, Wesley, is our God son! :) Then about a year later they moved to Georgia. And guess what! They're only about 3 hours away from us! They came to our house just a couple weeks after we moved in and we went to their house this weekend. Wesley is such a little sweetie. Already trying his momma's patience :)
[When the day comes that I take pictures off my phone, add one of Wes here lol]
Some funnies that Richie said over the weekend:
I told him to tell Jessica that she is beautiful so he did and she told him thank you. Then he swiped the air in front of himself and said "it was nothin". I have no idea where he got that one! It was soo funny though!
And he told Jeremy that he licks the door like a pineapple.
Oh and last week Jeremy and I were watching a movie on TV and weren't thinking about cuss words but of course one popped up while Richie was watching it. And it was the B word. We just looked at each other and then Richie turned around and said "Rich?! That's my name!" Yes. Yes it is son.
Tonight we're having Parmesan Crusted Chicken for supper.
I used thinly sliced chicken breasts so I would say each one was probably 3 ounces or so. That's what the serving size is so we'll go with that.
Chicken breast (6 of them): 2g Fat, 0g Carbs, 26g Protein each
Parmesan Cheese (1/3 C, 5 of them): 8g Fat, 2g Carbs, 9g Protein= 40g Fat, 10g Carbs, 45g Protein
Ranch (2 Tbsp, 8 of them (16 Tbsp total): 14g Fat, 2g Carbs, 1g Protein= 112g Fat, 16g Carbs, 8g Protein
Monterrey Jack Cheese (1 oz, 6 of them): 9g Fat, 0g Carbs, 7g Protein= 54g Fat, 0g Carbs, 42g Protein
So I'll take the numbers after the = and divide them by 6 to figure out how much each chicken breast has.
Chicken (already written out for us)- 2g Fat, 0g Carbs, 26g Protein
Parmesan Cheese- 6.6g Fat, 1.6g Carbs, 7.5g Protein
Ranch: 18.6g Fat, 2.6g Carbs, 1.3g Protein
Monterrey Jack Cheese- 9g Fat, 0g Carbs, 7g Protein
So each piece of chicken has roughly 38.2g Fat, 4.2g Carbs, 41.8g Protein. Looks like a great S Meal!

Goals + meal plan
I set goals for myself a lot and let myself down, a lot.
Last night Jeremy and I decided that we want to take a trip to Panama City Beach this fall. Do you know what that means? MORE GOALS! I want to be able to go and feel comfortable in my skin and clothes. I want to wear a bikini (I haven't worn one all summer so I'll look like an oreo!) and dresses and tank tops, without worrying about SUCKING IN! So if I suck it up then I won't have to suck it in! :)
My goals this week are…..
This weeks meals are…
Tuesday
Breakfast: 2 Eggs, 1 piece of bacon and my pills
Eggs: 7g fat, 1g carbs and 6g protein each
Bacon: 7g Fat, 0g carbs and 5g Protein
= 21g Fat, 2g Carbs and 17g protein
Lunch: Leftover Firehouse Sub (just chicken, pickles, olives and mayo & I'll put it in a low carb tortilla)
Supper: Ranch Cheddar Chicken and green beans
Chicken: 1g Fat, 0g Carbs and 23g Protein
Mild Cheddar Cheese block: 10g Fat, 0g Carbs, 6g Protein in 1 oz.
Egg wash: 7g fat, 1g carbs and 6g protein each
Ranch powder: 0g Fat, 1g Carbs, 0g Protein in 1/2 tsp
Green Beans: 0g Fat, 3g Carbs, 1g Protein in 1 cup (That's all I'll have)
Each piece of chicken will probably use 1/2 egg, 1 tsp of ranch powder and 1 oz cheese so each piece of chicken will have 14.5g Fat, 5.5g Carbs, 31g Protein!
= 14.5g Fat, 8.5g Carbs and 32g Protein (most people don't count the carbs in non-starchy veggies but I did this time)
Wednesday
Breakfast: 2 Eggs, 1 piece of bacon
= 21g Fat, 2g Carbs and 17g protein
Lunch: Leftover Ranch Cheddar Chicken and green beans
= 14.5g Fat, 8.5g Carbs, 32g Protein
Supper: Beef Quesadillas
I'll only have one tortilla so there's only 4.5g Fat, 5 carbs and 4g Protein
Beef is 93/7 so there's 8g Fat, 23g Protein and 0g Carbs in each serving and there's 4 servings, I'll probably have 2 servings
Cheese: in 1 oz there's 9g Fat, less than 1g Carbs and 7g Protein (I'm sure I'll only have 1 ounce)
= 29.5g Fat, 6 carbs and 57g Protein! and ZERO sugar! Now that's awesome!! And I won't be satisfied from just half of a quesadilla so I'll have some green beans too!)
Thursday
Breakfast: Berry Crumble muffins -It made about 18 muffins
Almond Flour: 12g Fat, 1g Carbs, 5g Protein in 1/4 C (I used 2 cups) {5.3g Fat, 0.4g Carbs, 2.2g Protein}
Flax Meal: 0g Fat, 0g Carbs, 0g Protein (I don't know how to measure the serving size, it says 1/10g) (I used 1 cup) {0g. Fat, 0g Carbs, 0g Protein}
Stevia: 0.5g Fat, 0g Carbs, 0g Protein in 1/2 tsp (I used 2 tsp) {0.1g Fat, 0g Carbs, 0g Protein}
Baking Powder: 0g Fat, 0g Carbs, 0g Protein {0g. Fat, 0g Carbs, 0g Protein}
Vanilla: ?? {0g. Fat, 0g Carbs, 0g Protein}

One muffin will have10.1g Fat, 1.19g Carbs, 4.58g. And 0 sugars!!
And I'll have a tub of yogurt which has 0g Fat, 9g Carbs and 15g Protein
= 10.1g Fat, 10.19g carbs and 19.58 g Protein (I could cut down on the carb count if I just use half of the container of yogurt for icing on my muffin!)
Lunch: Protein Shake
Supper: Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole *I'm guessing there will be 6 servings
Dreamfields Rotini Noodles (Dreamfields is wishy washy on the carbs because they claim that they aren't digested (even diabetic doctors encourage their patients to eat them) So I don't really know what to put for carbs, but there is 1g Fat and 7g Protein (again, not sure if the fat and protein even count!)
Chicken: {1g Fat, 0g Carbs and 23g} Protein in 1 breast
Bacon: {7g Fat, 0g carbs and 5g Protein} in 1 slice
Garlic: 0g Fat, 3g Carbs, 0.6 g Protein in 3 cloves {0g Fat, 0.5g Carbs, 0.1g Protein}
Milk: 8g Fat, 12g Carbs, 8g protein in one cup (Vitamin D) {1.3g Fat, 2g Carbs, 1.3g Protein}
Ranch: {14g Fat, 2g Carbs, 1g Protein in 2 Tbsp} (the recipe calls for 12 tablespoons but since there will be 6 servings that's all the math I need to do)
Butter: 11g Fat, 0g Carbs, 0g Protein in 1 Tbsp {1.8g Fat, 0g Carbs, 0g Protein}
Cheese: in 1 oz there's 9g Fat, less than 1g carbs, 7g Protein (The recipe calls for 16 ounces of cheese) {24g Fat, 1g Carbs, 18.6g Protein}
= 49.1g Fat, 5.5g Carbs, 48g Protein (That's not including the noodles)
An example of how to figure this up… Since the recipe is calling for 16 ounces of cheese, I multiply each serving size by 16 (because the serving size is 1 ounce, if it was 2 ounces I would multiply by 8 to get to 16) then divide by 6 (because I'm estimating the recipe to make 6 servings). 9g Fat X 16 = 144, 144 / 6 = 24g Fat in 1 serving
Friday
Breakfast: 2 Eggs, 1 piece of bacon
= 21g Fat, 2g Carbs and 17g protein
Lunch: Protein Shake
Supper: Cilantro Lime Rice with chicken *I use brown rice instead of white rice -I'm estimating it to only make 2 servings
Lime: 0.1g Fat, 7g Carbs, 0.5g Protein in one lime, but we're only using juice {0g Fat, 3g Carbs, 0.1g Protein estimate)
Rice: {1g Fat, 31g Carbs, 4g Protein} in 1 cup, cooked
Chicken: {1g Fat, 0g Carbs and 23g Protein} in 1 breast
Chicken stock: {0g Fat, 1g Carbs, 4g Protein} in 1 cup
=2g Fat, 35g Carbs, 31.1g Protein!!
Saturday:
Breakfast: 2 Eggs, 1 piece of bacon
= 21g Fat, 2g Carbs and 17g protein
Lunch: Protein Shake
Supper: (we'll be on the road, so I have no idea)
Sunday and Monday: We'll be out of town but we're bringing hamburger, chicken and sandwich stuff. We'll make the best choices possible! :D We have goals to reach!!
I don't normally measure out every detail of the Fat, Carbs and Protein so don't expect this every week. I was just interested in how good I'm eating. I'm actually quite surprised. As long as I can keep myself from eating any sugars or bad food and make sure I'm working out, I'll be good to go! :D Come on beach body!!
Last night Jeremy and I decided that we want to take a trip to Panama City Beach this fall. Do you know what that means? MORE GOALS! I want to be able to go and feel comfortable in my skin and clothes. I want to wear a bikini (I haven't worn one all summer so I'll look like an oreo!) and dresses and tank tops, without worrying about SUCKING IN! So if I suck it up then I won't have to suck it in! :)
My goals this week are…..
- NO sugar. This isn't HUGE for me because I have already omitted sugar from my diet, but I convince myself that "just one won't hurt" or "But I don't have anything else for breakfast". NO MORE.
- Work out 2 times a day. I want to eventually work out more but right now, 2 times a day will be great. I've already been on Pinterest finding work outs :)
- Don't make it about WEIGHT. I currently weigh 165 pounds. That hurts to share publicly. I've never weighed this much. In high school I was 125-130. I like the way I looked back then but I know that it's not about a number, it's about how I feel and LOOK.
So I'm off to go take my BEFORE pictures! I have roughly 8 weeks to buckle down and get to where I want to be. My goal earlier this month was to be able to fit into my wedding dress. I was 140 when I got married…. so needless to say, I'm not fitting in that puppy! :(
