January 26th- Feb 1st

How do you begin with a meal plan?

• Check my LoseIt! App. If I lost weight, that means I lost calories and I need to be aware of that while I am planning. This week I get 1,260 calories. (I lost 10 calories this week). 
• I also take my new weight and divide by 2 to get the number of ounces of water I should drink this week and adjust my ounces in my app Waterlogged. (For what it's worth, the LoseIt! App also tracks my ounces with the premium membership.)
• Then I consider what I already have in my pantry, or what I really liked as a meal last week and decide if I want to keep it again for this week. This week's keeper is my lunch, chicken salad and Steel Cut Oats for breakfast. 

So here it is.....
