Mel’s Meals Day 7

Seven days! They say it takes 21 days of doing something to make it a habit, but I think I’m already getting there. I’m used to checking out my Mel’s menu in the morning and planning out my meals and snack times for the day.

One thing that really needs improvement is my water intake. I just need to be drinking more, especially considering my daily workouts and the hellish weather. (108°?!) I love drinking water, so I’m not sure what my problem is. Please leave any creative tips you have for me in the comments.

What did I eat today?

Once again, everything was really tasty. I had never tried cottage cheese this way. It was like a dessert! Plus I got to eat pizza and enchiladas. What?! This is hardly diet food to suffer through. I guess that’s the key to sticking within a calorie range. Who needs to cheat when you get to eat pizza?

Today was my pick-up day for my next batch of meals. Looks like I have some new things to try in my second week in addition to some replays. Meal plans get picked up twice a week, and so far all the staff I’ve met, in addition to Mel, are so warm and friendly. In my brief pickup today I got a couple great hummus recipes that I will have to try out soon.

    The Mel’s meals really look and sound delicious! Your pictures and descriptions are fantastic. As for water intake, I am obsessed with my water infuser!! It makes drinking water so delicious. I usually stick to plain lemon and/or lime but some times I get creative with berries. xoxo Betty!!

    Food looks great! 108*? Uh oh, I amnot sure I could handle that! The trick to drinking oceans of water is to have pitcher in the fridge of cold brewed iced green or herbal tea. One or two tea bags dropped in the pitcher and an hour later voila! It’s the lazy way to do tea.
