Menu Plan Monday: Under the Weather = Off the Wagon

Menu Plan Monday is late! Late last week and over the weekend, we were a little under the weather. Needless to say, these are the times that try men’s…pocketbooks! Neither mom nor I felt like cooking, so we ordered out. I also hit a snag in my exercise plans…I strained a ligament in my right ankle, which I have a sneaking suspicion came from some of my work in our garden. This week, we’re doing our best to try to get back on track. There’s a lesson to be learned though…if you do “fall off the [diet] wagon”, you can pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back on track! Although I’ve gained two or three pounds, I’m going to do my best to get back on track and drag my family along, even if they’re kicking and screaming!
