1) Cook dinner every night at home. This would be hard if I didn't have a husband who is competent in the kitchen and can help me with meals at night. I also really enjoy trying new recipes, so I'll have fun with it. I'm not an amazing chef by any means, but I can follow a recipe. That's about it.
2) Going to the gym 4 times a week.
3) Cutting out sweets. The biggest part of that for me will be cutting out soda. No more DP for me. :(
So yesterday we went shopping for our first week of meals. Here's a run down of what we will be making this week.
Last Night: Spaghetti and Meatballs with French Bread. Recipe here.
The rest of the week:
Chili Lime Mango Skewers and Cilantro-Lime rice
HERE and HERE

French Dip Sandwiches
Here

Teriyaki Chicken Salad Sandwiches
Here

Burgers
(Recipe in a cookbook)
Spinach and Feta Pasta
here

Chicken Enchiladas
(Recipe in cookbook)
Sides with these meals will most likely be a spinach salad of some kind because we have a bunch of leftover spinach right now.
Of course, these recipes may be spaced out a little more because we will have leftovers that we can eat on nights in between, but we are going to plan for 7 meals at a time, and shop again when we are out of meals.
As you can tell, this week's recipes came from Our Best Bites. This blog has a bunch more recipes that I'm sure we will be trying later.
I about died when we went to the grocery store and bought all the ingredients. Next week I'll work on doing recipes with fewer/cheaper ingredients. We rationalized this by saying that we will never eat out. Eating out one time with the two of us is usually $20+, so in the end, we will be saving money. Should be pretty fun, we will see how long we can keep this up. If you have any recipes that are cheap and tasty...let me know!
