Our family started working towards a “Clean Eating” diet last Oct. We wanted to start eliminating processed and refined foods. It has been a very slow process for us and there are times like this last week where we had pizza, cake and soda (celebrating my birthday). However, thinking back a year ago and remembering what I used to buy and how we used to eat, we’ve come a long way. We still have a long way to go but hopefully, in a year, we can look back at this time and realize we have only made more progress.
Along with the “Clean Eating”, we are now going to use Weight Watchers to help with knowing exactly what we’re eating and how much. I’m calling it “Weight Watcher’s Cleaning Eating Style”. lol π Last week, I sat down and planned out the next 4 weeks of meals according to the Weight Watcher points I’m allowed and tried to make sure all the ingredients followed Clean Eating but it was a little harder locating a few “Clean” things in the store so I went with the best I could (it was a late night shopping trip so I was limited to the stores that were open).
So with all that said, here is our menu plan for this week. My total points for each day should be 36 but as you will see, I fell short on all of them so I know that when the day comes, I have a few points extra for an additional serving or extra snack. Fruits and vegetables in moderation are 0 points. π All recipes came from Weight Watcher’s website.
