Welcome back to another week featuring our weekly meal plan! I hope all of you had a great week and have another one this week!
Did this past week seem like it lasted forever?! It seemed like Tuesday was Thursday... That's always a bummer when the week is like that. But I stuck the meal plan I set out and am proud. And went to Crossfit Monday, Tuesday, and Friday.
In my earlier post, I mentioned that we participated in our Crossfit gym's Chili Cook Off, sadly we didn't win 🙁 But our new Chili King totally deserved it! His was delicious! Next year maybe I will have the crown? 🙂
How cool is this "Iron Throne" hehe get it?
Other than that, it's been a pretty laid back weekend. Catching up on laundry, spending time together binge watching Dexter ( our new obsession) do any of you watch Dexter?, and of course having quality time with our fur babies 🙂
My other obsession is this workout shirt: I needs it
And this funky beat 😉 I hope it gets your week groov'n:

Dang! I would have loved to see a snap of you on that sweet throne, wearing the crown for best chili. Maybe next year! The BBQ Salmon BLT salad sounds tasty!

Oh what a fun cook off - I have actually never participated in an actual physical cook off but it looks like so much fun!

You crossfit AND you do meal-plans! ROCK STAR!
Kellie @ The Suburban Soapbox says
First of all...I'm always impressed with your meal planning. I wish I had that discipline AND then you're a cross fitter. I need to take some inspiration from you and pull myself together.

Bummer, but that chili really does sound amazing to me! And YES to Uptown Funk - I just can't help dance and sing along, love it!
Cravings of a Lunatic says
Okay that photo with all the crock pots just made me swoon. How fun, I've never been to a chili-off but now I sort of think I need to find one locally.
Love your cat, we have 3 ragdoll kitties. Giant fluff-balls like your cutie-pie.
I just started making menu plans again. I did them for about 20 years. Then the kids got older and I stopped. But I swear there's less trips to the store when you make a plan. And less leftovers and waste.

I need that t-shirt and to try that spaghetti squash carbonara!
[email protected] Mom says
Sounds like a delicious week!
Lauren @ Healthy Delicious says
omg yes - this last week felt liek it was about a month long. 🙁
Sorry about the chili contest but lol about the iron throne... can't wait for that show to come back!! Last season was way to short.
Back for Seconds says
Such great ideas! You are so good at this...I need lessons!
Cookin Canuck says
There are plenty of great ideas on this menu plan. I'm checking out that BLT salad, for sure. How fun that you had a chili cook off at the gym!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I'm too excited to try that salmon salad this week! 🙂

Meal plans are a great way to plan out everything, I wish I did them more! And I love your kitty! He reminds me of my boy, I miss him 🙁
The Food Hunter says
These meal plans are always so helpful
foodwanderings says
Holy moly you are so organized. I wish I was as half as organized as you are. I need to remember this when I am at loss and it's way past dinnertime.

Love the chili competition at the gym, fun! Brunos video just screams of a Prince & the Revolution to me...a great throwback song!
