Even through these crazy times I’m still making a weekly meal plan. I’m sticking with Portion Fix Timed Nutrition as I complete 21 Day Fix Real Time. See what’s on this week’s menu, how my grocery shopping trip went and adjustments I’m making.
Making Adjustments
Making plans during these unprecedented times might seem a bit silly to some. But having a plan gives you a starting point. From there you can make adjustments.
And that is just what I did this week. I planned my weekly menu as I normally do. Not knowing what would actually be on store shelves I still made my plan. I went into the store with an open mind making note of any adjustments I may need to make along the way.
To my surprise I found everything I needed with one exception- carrots. Yep, for some reason the store was still out of carrots. So instead of carrots & hummus as a snack I plan to swap out the carrots with mini bell peppers which I was able to find.
As I went through the store and found things that were not available last week (bok choy, ginger, bagels & such) it made me excited and appreciative of the abundance that we currently have.
So yes, continue to make a plan. Just be prepared to make adjustments along the way.

WEEKLY LIVE MEAL PLANNING
This week’s weekly live meal planning session happened over on Facebook. But, it didn’t have sound.
So I made a quick video after my shopping trip to show you what I found and the adjustments I’m making.
