Do you realize that it has been over a month since I’ve written anything new in the No More Excuses series I began this year? How ridiculous is that? I do happen to have several excuses I can give you for not taking the time to write these posts about excuses, just in case you’d care to hear them. I’m guessing you wouldn’t though. ;)
However, without sharing my excuses, I would like to apologize. It’s not very cool of me to start a series and then leave you hanging forever. So this week, I will be picking up that series where I left it off. Go catch up on all of the No More Excuses posts to read what I’ve previously written on the topic of giving excuses for not eating a healthy diet.
Ironically, this week, I’ll be writing about the excuse of “I don’t have time to eat healthy food…”. Funny, since I’ve not found the time to write that post, eh? :)
And speaking of not having the time – this week in our new Ask the Trainer feature, we will also be addressing the topic of finding the time to exercise. It seems that there’s a bit of a theme going on around here this week. How…timely. (And wow, how super cheesy was that?!)
While I’m finding the time to write those posts, here is our menu plan for this week:

I’m so glad you’re continuing the No Excuses series. I always need to be reminded to drop the excuses!
I’m glad you don’t put off your menu plans each week. I wouldn’t know what to make for dinner if you did!
Whats cream cheese corn? sounds good!
I would also love the cream cheese corn recipe. It does sound really yummy.
I’ve been trying to focus on exercise too but sometimes the end of the day arrives and I never did it. No More Excuses!
If I commit to blog about it I know I’ll have to do it but I’m not quite ready for that.
I’m looking forward to reading more in the No More Excuses series.
I’m glad No More Excuses is coming back! Your topic for the week is amusing to me, because I just started a blog series (my first) on quick cooking. lol!
I’m looking forward to your posts. :)
