Thanks! I should stock up more on convenience food. That’s not a bad idea. I’m off to Trader Joe’s right now. They usually have good options.That was happening to me too. I find two things helped to get me back on track. The first is that even if I don't follow the meal plan exactly that just having one keeps me on track to at least make something at home rather than get take out or eat out. Which leads to the second thing, which is having some convenience foods on hand that I can make quickly if I forget to take something out to thaw or we just plain don't feel like eating what's on the menu. A frozen pizza from Aldi is way cheaper than getting take out and it's already built into my grocery budget to keep some of these types of things on hand. And breakfast for dinner is always an easy and quick option to fall back on as well as a can of soup and a grilled cheese. Progress, not perfection....that's the goal. It's not perfect but no one is starving over here and we have cut WAY back on take out and eating out.
Yes, definitely a lot of breakfasts for dinner here as well lately. Also loaded nachos and such. But I am looking forward to the summer when we have less going on and I find more fresh veggies in my diet!
