Mid-Week Meal Plan

I know I'm a little unorthodox, but I meal plan on Wednesday.  It really works for me.  We grocery shop Thursday, Friday, or Saturday (depending on my husbands school schedule and if he has a test nearing).  I'm not a big fan of doing a ton of shopping with three kids by myself, so I generally shop with my husband.

 Here is the info everybody is probably interested in:

~I plan by calories for myself and my husband separately.
~My kids don't eat exactly like my meal plan, they eat the dinners I have planned, but their food during the day has a little more variation.  Still generally healthy, but not such a strict regime.
~I do not mass meal prep (only the afternoon snack).  I mostly prep in the morning for that days meals.  I tend to not eat the food if I have it sitting in the fridge prepped for the week...  I know I'm strange.  Also I just have a hard time carving out hours to meal prep and do the dishes.

About me:  I am currently at my goal weight, so I am eating for maintenance.  Also I am a nursing mama, so I added 500 calories to what I am supposed to be eating.  My current calorie bracket : 1800-2099

My husband:  He has about 20 lbs to lose.  His calorie bracket: 1500-1799

So we eat the same things, just in different amounts according to the program guidelines.
