Wednesday

Hello! I am doing what seems like an endless laundry load and some clean up around the house today. Just sat down with a cup of afternoon coffee, I luv my Keurig, and a ball- hehe- did you see the post about making these? Go see it HERE. Good Stuff! :)

I went to the pool today and was excited to come home to put my data into the new spreadsheet that Sean (my numbers guy) made me. :) So here are my stats for the week so far! Whoohooo! I am so happy that I can see the calories that I am burning doing my pool exercises now- makes it real to me. I knew I had to be doing something in that water- but I had no idea how much! :) I LOVE IT! :)

Lunch today was some of the Sweet Potato Chili I made- and a bowl of raspberries and blackberries that I scarfed down. Dinner for tonight will be EASY with or without Sean. He might have a meeting tonight so I knew to take out some chicken for myself to just cook up real fast & toss into one of my favorite TV DINNERS! You read that correctly- I LOVE A BOXED MEAL! lol This Smart Ones is delicious. I never eat it "as is" I always doctor it up- so I will toss in a BIG serving of fresh steamed broccoli and 2-3 ounces of chicken breast to make it a FULL meal. But for a frozen dinner it rocks! Unfortunately no local stores by me sell it! lol Seems to be a hard one to find! I will come back later to add a pic of my dish so you can see it! :)

** UPDATE** Doctored Up Frozen TV Dinner- added 1 cup fresh steamed broccoli & 3 ounces chicken. YUM! :)

The timer just went off- gotta get the laundry out so I can add in another batch! Do I know how to have FUN or what? :) OHH I will be having FUN soon! One of my blog buddies- Lola is in town next week for business. She has been a huge help to me along my journey and always offers me support! We are planning to meet up in San Francisco next Friday and I am SUPER excited! I know we will have a fun time! :) See ya soon Lola! :)

Have a GREAT evening everyone!!! :) BYE! Pin It

  2. Those are impressive calorie burns, TJ! What a great sweetie Sean is to make you that spreadsheet :)

    The particular WW frozen meal is my favorite too. I haven't used them for awhile, but it's always good to keep them on hand for whenI'm alone and don't want to have to do too much. I've even used Perdue shortcut chicken with it! Talk about lazy!

  4. Wow TJ you are killing it in the pool!

    I got to meet one of my internet friends a couple of weeks ago and it was so much fun!

    I have not tried that WW entree but I will look for it and give it a try. Sometimes it is nice to have a quick meal in the freezer. Rarely do I eat by myself but you never know it might happen!

    Morgan I am in Northern CA too! There might be a bunch of us in this area.

  5. You know what? I never considered adding more veggies to frozen lunches.. I think I'm gunna try that! A lot of times I eat them for lunches at work - it would be easy to micro-steam some extra veggies while I'm at it. Great thinking!

  6. I SOOOOOOOO miss that particular frozen dinner! I've been having a "woe is the gluten free me" pity party the past couple of days. Gotta find a good & easy alternative!

    Way to burn those calories my friend.

  13. Laundry. A necessary evil. TJ, I'm always doctoring up them Smart Ones too. Just isn't enough and I'm one of those "bulk up my meal kinda gals."

    Only you could make a tv dinner look good. Jack Sh*t is too funny.

    Hugs, Paula
