Keeping Up With...Food (Menu Plan 7/7 - 7/13)

So I did pretty well with my menu plan last week, except that I didn't get to make the zucchini lasagna that I was really looking forward to.  I forgot to check out the recipe and I needed to thaw out the spinach.  When I went to make it, I realized it was still frozen and I didn't have any fresh spinach.  I thought about microwaving it to defrost it, but I hate doing that.  So I made eggplant parmesan that day and bumped the lasagna.  Unfortunately the week was busy so I didn't get to it last week.  I am making it tomorrow, but probably using noodles not zucchini because I have a very active day planned (two Zumba classes and swimming with the boys).

I was doing great sticking to my stay under my calories goal until the holiday hit.  I probably should have given myself one day off for the holiday when I planned my month, but I didn't.  I survived the trip to the zoo (although walking 6 miles helped!) and pizza and ice cream on the actual 4th (thank you 90 minute Zumba class!)  But on the 5th, I caved.  I had the leftover pizza for lunch and then went to a BBQ and that was it.  I had a mini pig out session when we got home last night as well.  But I'm back on track today!

In addition to the yummy dinners I have planned, I have these delicious melons for snacks this week:
