menu Monday – a little different take on chicken

We’re traveling later this week, so our menu is short this week. Also, I realized too late that we’re eating a lot of chicken this week. I’m trying to do something slightly different, at least.

Sunday – cajun chicken nuggets and sweet potato fries. (The cajun chicken nuggets are simply boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into smaller pieces. We mixed them with olive oil and cajun seasoning and let them marinate for a couple of hours before grilling them on our George Foreman grill. For the baby, he had plain chicken.)

Monday – Salad with cheese or nuts for protein (we’re trying to go meatless again.) This may not happen, as we have something going on at 5 p.m. Monday, so we may not be home in time to make anything.

Tuesday – Salad consisting of lettuce, dried cranberries, chicken and balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

Wednesday – Pork tenderloin

Thursday – Frozen pizza. We picked up several at Trader Joe’s when we were there a couple of weeks ago. We need to not have leftovers, so this seemed like the best option this week.

Friday/Saturday/Sunday – We’re traveling to DC for my half marathon. Breakfast will hopefully be in our room, and we have some ideas of places we’d try to go to for lunch and/or dinner.

I haven’t mentioned this, but the husband and I have both been following Weight Watchers for the past 3 weeks. I’ve lost 4 pounds so far, and I have a few pounds to go to be back at my happy weight. I’m a little concerned about traveling, but I’m going to try my hardest to stay on track.

Do you try to watch what you eat when traveling?
