This low carb, no yellow, veggies-most meal plan and grocery list is perfect for anyone following the 2B Mindset, 21 Day Fix, Ultimate Portion Fix, or Weight Watchers. Enjoy!This post contains affiliate links for products I’m obsessed with.
**While this post was originally published 6/10/18, I recently updated with Weight Watchers points, new pictures, and added my NEW Instant Pot version of my zucchini lasagna! Enjoy!**
Confession #145: I didn’t follow most of my own meal plan last week. Somewhere between thinking I had the stomach virus and a lower back strain and finding out it was actually a kidney infection, my appetite for proteins and veggies disappeared and all I have been eating are silly carbs like bagels and crackers. Ilana, I love you, but I still feel silly saying silly carbs.
Anyway, I am on a strong antibiotic and hoping to get back on track with eating, and well, everything else as I accomplished almost nothing and – guess what – my kids finish school on Tuesday, so that to do list I made last Monday might become my Summer To Do List.
And I am going to be ok with that this year. This time with my kids is fleeting. I can feel it more than ever with my daughter finishing second grade and heading into third.
It’s so hard in this blogging world to not constantly compare…and feel like I could be doing more. But I am going to change that narrative to I am doing enough. And as much as I love blogging and I love all of you, I am going to lean into the chaos of life as a stay at home mom for the summer. After this week, I feel like someone is trying to tell me to slooooow down.
Ok – and so on to what you came here for – a veggie’s first meal plan because in that chaos of summer life, we need dinner plans to keep us from hitting up the drive through or, in my case, that darn pool snack stand (ours has amazing, hand cut gluten free fries. Omg). Here’s a week worth of ideas for you…and, if you happen to make any, I would LOVE to see a pic of your plate!
Here’s to embracing the mess, the lack of a routine, and all of the mom, watch this all day, every day!
