Goals for July 23-

My evenings will go thusly:

1. Prepare the meal that I planned in advance.

2. This meal will be based on:

• a mix of steamed and/or sauteed vegetables, with spices, or light flavoring from vinegar, or lemon, or soy sauce or miso
• some days there will be protein added, either stir fried chicken, steamed fish, or ground turkey burgers, no bun
• if there is a starch, it will be brown rice, quinoa, or ???? TBD, once I learn other acceptable options.

3. The children may have this, or, more likely something else. But whatever they have, if they leave any of it on the plate, I will (or they will) take it immediately to the trash. It will be left out, nor stored.

4. After the meal, I will clean the dishes quickly and leave the kitchen.

5. Then I will pleasurably work for 30 minutes to no more than 1 hour on a necessary household task, (i.e., laundry, dealing with the mail pile, straightening my office or bedroom or whatever is a priority that day).

So looking at the calendar for next week:

Sunday 28: cauliflower
Monday 29: squashes
Tuesday 30: onion, cherry tomato, green bean stir fry with basil and oregano
Wednesday 31: broccoli
Thursday 1: greens
Friday: 2 squashes
Saturday 3: broccoli
