Meal plan for week 1

I have been going over recipes and searching through health blogs trying to figure out our first week of "real food". I am excited to start our challenge, however I want the first week to be a positive experience for everyone and I want the kids (and us) to like the food! So hopefully this week goes smooth and everyone is at least half way happy with the food. ;)

Here is what I came up with for week one:
(Neil and I will not always eat the same as the kids, since we are also both trying to lose a few extra pounds, so the N&K stands for our meals)

Monday:
Breakfast- granola cereal & blue berries

Lunch- Peanut butter banana sandwich, apple sauce, steamed peas.(Kids)
(N&K) Mixed green salad, handful of nuts, blueberries

(N&K) Shakology with frozen banana and teaspoon of peanut butter

Lunch- Homemade whole wheat waffle w/cream cheese, cinnamon, and raisins, celery w/ peanut butter, and a peach
