OK--is anyone doing the food diary thing but me? And: the menu for the week

I'm just wondering...I kept going on my last post until last Thursday, and got busy over the weekend, but...I do appear to be forging on alone.  Em--you still interested?  I know you other girls didn't really sign on to do the diary-ing per-se, but if anyone wants to talk about experiences on Weight Watchers or grocery shopping, getting the family to eat better, or anything to do with nutrition (including recipes or menus--I do love having a nice ongoing list of foodie and recipe posts on the other blog so I might consider copying recipes over there, or suggest putting the recipe on one blog and linking to it on another--but, really--whatever floats your boat).  I've started trying to keep track of excercise too, b/c that's my thing, and I am trying to climb back on the wagon.

Anyhoo, after Himself's two trips to the grocery store yesterday (and messing something up that was on the list both times), I found myself back at the nicer store in town after another errand and bought a damn lot of groceries, ticking potential meals for the week off as I went.  Thought I'd jot them down here so I remember and/or see how well I stick to my plan, once I actually have one. 
Today:  Chili Salad (made with ground turkey)
Tuesday:  Chicken Tikka Masala
Wednesday: Stuffed Tilapia (these weee packaged fresh at the store--tilapia fillets around a crab stuffing, so I don't really have to do any more to it than pop it in the oven after a sprinkling of spice)
Thursday: probably leftover Chili
Friday: Pizza night (thin crust chicken and veggie)
Saturday: Probably leftover Chicken Tikka Masala
Sunday: potentially whole wheat spaghetti with meat sauce or meatballs (from ground turkey)--unless I thaw out something else from the freezer.

So how did your week's menu go? I remember talking about the Chicken Tikka Masala, along with some other Indian food that I kind of made fun of.

Maybe it will help me if I do a menu post for the week? I hadn't thought of putting it on the blog, so I could check back at the end of the week and see how we did - and it might work out better that way, since the daily food thing is tricky for some reason. Hmmm. . .
