In case you missed it, yesterday I shared all of last week’s eats! I’ve really enjoyed tracking my eats lately and being able to look back on days and how I’ve felt. Looking back on my week has helped me with my weekly planning and is showing me ways I can improve my diet as I move into my next week of pregnancy.
Going into this week, I realized I needed to eat more vegetables. Whether it’s with breakfast, lunch, or dinner, my goal this week is to incorporate more green veggies into my diet.
This week I did almost all of my grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s. I purchased 2 bags of spinach, 2 bags of butter lettuce, broccoli florets, green beans, 2 tomatoes, chopped mixed veggies, and sliced mushrooms. I also purchased a pineapple and 3 pears, which are hiding behind the lettuce.
I also purchased boneless skinless chicken breasts, ground beef patties, organic vanilla yogurt, and two bags of shredded cheese.
During the weekend I started to incorporate more veggies into my eats. I scrambled eggs with mushrooms, tomatoes, and turkey sausage, which was a super easy way to get a few servings of vegetables in.
For lunch on Saturday, I made burgers for Neal and I and topped them with lettuce, tomato, and onion. I then served myself a side side along with the serving of chips. It was perfect!
This is actually a really busy week for me, so my weekly plan is a little all over the place. As I’ll be eating out a lot, my plan is to balance out my eats each day while incorporating a number of vegetables into my meals. Here’s my plan…
Monday
- Breakfast – smoothie
- Lunch – work event
- Dinner – work event
Tuesday
- Breakfast – scrambled eggs with vegetables
- Lunch – salad with grilled chicken
- Dinner – burgers and green beans
Wednesday
- Breakfast – smoothie

Thursday

It’s going to be a long week, but I’m excited about the prep I’ve done for the week and the plan I have. Here’s to a happy and healthy week!
