Menu Plan Monday

I have made a quasi self-diagnosis of myself in regard to a health issue. I do not feel bad enough to go to the doctor, but I have a general achiness, fatigue, and some digestive issues. I also have a few other issues that could clearly be linked with my "diagnosis".

So I have decided to make a couple of PAINFUL changes to my diet to help with some of this (hopefully). I am going to start weaning myself off coffee, at least caffeinated. One of my favorite things is a warm cup (or eight) of coffee in the morning. I am hoping to move to decaf and then, possibly, make the change completely (except for social coffee drinking) to hot green tea instead. This will help with my achy joints and digestive problems. I also plan to stop using artificial sweeteners and switch, instead, to liquid Stevia. I have planted Stevia plants that I will be able to harvest in the fall. For now I will use the liquid. This is supposed to help with my achiness, also.

I am also going to start taking Emergen-C twice a day for energy and add Glucosamine Chondroitin to my regular supplement intake.

And this is what we will be having for dinner this week (based mostly on requests) ...


Monday ~ Chicken fettucine alfredo and french bread

Tuesday ~ Dinner out at Cici's Pizza to celebrate our last day of school!

Wednesday ~ Fend for Yourself (we will be eating out at Eskimo Joe's for lunch before our field trip that day, so we'll just snack for dinner).

Thursday ~ Chicken quesadillas

Friday ~ BLTs and chips

Saturday ~ Grilled hotdogs and brats and fries

Sunday ~ Salmon patties, brown rice and veggies
