I join WW tomorrow. Yippee :scare:
Anyway, I made my choice of what my one change today is.
One thing I hate about WW (as do several bizillion people, that’s an actual count, they told me) is planning the meals And I’ve said before that I hate food shopping, so planning is worse. If I write down ideas for meals, it makes it easier to shop. I know I always need milk and stuff so that’s easy. It’s the planning of lunch and dinner. I usually have leftovers for lunch so it makes it easier when I leave for work also. Just grab the tupperware.
What I started doing is writing down a list. If I decide I have an urge for chicken, goes on the list, salad, goes on the list. Then when I make a shopping list, I can get ideas, Ohh chicken, need brocolli to go with that
(that’s a meal) ohh salad, maybe some shrimp to throw in
(that’s a meal) right there I have at least 4 meals dinner and lunch for the next day.

That’s what I do too–think about my cravings for the week and then shop (with coupons)

That is a good idea. Easier when planning for one. I really like your one thing at a time idea.

Darned good plan - taking one hour to toss a list together beats trying to figure things out on the fly (and it’s cheaper because you can prepare ahead of time!)

Great pre-planning, Rachel! I try to [roughly] plan major meals on the weekends, but sometimes those fall by the wayside. I like your idea!
