Good going, Goddess! You did some give and take on the meals, and got some of that much needed variety. If you can, drizzle butter on either your hamburger or ribeye, or both.
On goal weights and calculations for caloric consumption. I took your interim goal weight of 375 as the basis for calc, because cutting down to near 1800 calories might cause your body to over react to the restriction and slow your metabolism for conservation sake.
It would certainly be beneficial to split the difference, and target about 2600 calories, especially if you experience any hunger. It would certainly be ok to pop in 3500 calories (of right food) in one day followed by 3 days at 1800. If you must keep calories at near 1800, I suggest you add cayenne pepper, cinnimon, paprika, and other "warming" spices to the various meals to boost metabolic rate.
I gather the others you feed are children, which makes getting costs down easier. How is your mother?
