Hi everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was filled with all things blogging. My husband and I spent Friday, Saturday, and most of today editing my new ebook! It is soooo close to being done and I can’t wait to share it with all of you. It should be available for sale the week of December 15th. **fingers crossed**
Anyway, with all the excitement this weekend I totally forgot to weigh in this morning. I am going to get on the scale tomorrow morning and post it on Instagram – so, make sure to follow me over there.

Here is my weekly meal plan. If you use the meal planning website Plan to Eat make sure to friend me so you have access to all my recipes and meal plans. My username is organizeyourselfskinny.
You can easily print off grocery lists based on my recipes or any recipe you import into your recipe box/meal planning calendar. The meal planning calendar can be set to show the nutritional information of your recipes (if the recipe includes this info) so this is a great way to create a custom weight loss meal plan every week. I love this feature!
I put together my meal plan and grocery list in about 15 minutes using this website. Super easy. You can sign up for a free 30- day trial here.

This is a week that is FILLED with ‘out and away’ meals, so breakfast is critical and on-track! Luncheon out on Tuesday, date night for dinner Tuesday, Wed brunch with coffee gang, and good-bye party in the eve for friend moving away, then wine-cheese on Friday. Feel like a bit of social ‘butterfly’ this week, so salad jars, snacks, and oranges ready to fill in the rest! Calendar with daily affirmations and tracking meals ready too! as are water bottles!! Monday filled with excitement for the week ahead, knowing ’empty hours’ are few!
Thanks for your tips, sharing the journey, tools and ‘grounding’ me!!
