posted by Jennifer on a day in the life of me!, Dinner Idea, Food Finds

Normally I make a home made dinner just about every night. But sometimes I even don’t feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen and I’d rather just have something prepared. I did most of my shopping for the week at Trader Joe’s and when walking down the frozen aisle I found these:

Fish fillets from Trader Joe’s. I never bought them before and when I got home to put them in the oven, they were a little smaller than I thought – you get 4 for 190 calories and 8 grams of fat. BUT, it was plenty! With a side dish of roasted potatoes and green beans, it was a great dinner!

I can’t believe I have worked out 6 days in a row! Yesterday I couldn’t ride my bike to work so my daughter suggested I go to the library (which is across the street from my office) and get a new work out DVD! Nice suggestion Claire and I was going to do that, but I forgot my wallet at home, so I didn’t have my library card or ID. So I got a ride to work since it was pouring and I walked half way home because I got a ride half way. That wasn’t going to be enough to count as exercise so I got my workout clothes on after dinner and started to check out Exercise TV on demand. Guess who worked out with me?

Yep, my baby Claire got her sweat on with me! We chose a 25 minute kick boxing workout followed by a 20 minute sculpting workout and I used 8 pound weights (Claire didn’t do the strength one – she was my cheerleader for that one!). I was so glad I did that!!

So we’ll see if I can keep this going. It’s cooled off a ton in Chicago. It went from mid 90′s to the low 50′s yesterday, I actually had to put my jacket on walking home – how crazy is that?

Have an awesome day – I have summer hours at work so I only have to work 4 hours today!! Wahoo!!!

What do you have going on this weekend? I have 2 softball games for my daughter, my oldest son is playing in the high school orchestra graduation on Sunday, and in between that, I want a great grocery shop and exercise!!:)

Oh yeah – other things I did this week that were successful – no cookies at work, no pastries at work, didn’t eat after dinner most nights and the one night I did, I made oatmeal with blueberries!
