The weekend is here and that's definitely something to be thankful for!
This was the first week in a long time that I didn't feel exhausted (from traveling) despite having a seriously demanding week at work. Getting out of bed wasn't a challenge and I was able to keep up with my workload although I fell a bit behind with reading blogs.
One:
Trader Joe's has finally come to Central Florida and the herds have been flocking in. It took 15 minutes to get a parking spot but I finally got in and saw what all the hype was about. Everything is so cheap and I love all the stuff you can't find at our local grocery store including the famous "three buck chuck" (wine). I'll definitely be back for more of that $3 goodness!
Two:
I wrote a meal plan for dinner this week and stuck to it.
Mon: Chicken & veggie stir-fry
Tues: Pork chops w/ carrots & zucchini
Wed: Shrimp & Chicken Southwest salad
Thurs: Chicken fajitas
We eat stir-frys and most of the other meals above on a regular basis but it was my first attempt at making Southwest salad and it was amazing! We even had enough to bring to work for lunch the next day. I'll be adding this to our ongoing meal plan.
Three:
I got invited to a friend's baby shower and thought this was a really cute idea to insert in the invitation. I've already purchased my book for baby Harper.
Four:
Yesterday was the anniversary of the passing of my college roommate and one of my best friends. Cancer sucks! July 10th will always be a day of mourning for me. Miss you SLH!
Five:
I failed at making it to the gym this week but stuck to eating healthy breakfasts whether it was a boiled egg, low-carb shake or some fruit. With all the traveling, I've been seriously slacking at the gym and need to show my face tomorrow to get the ball rolling. No more traveling for a while so I can focus on my health/fitness, date nights with K, cleaning the house, healthy meals and catching up on everything else I've been neglecting.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Have a great weekend everyone!
I finally made my way over to TJ's yesterday at lunch and picked up some $3 buck chuck too haha...
ReplyDelete*hugs* I knew the anniversary was coming up, but wasn't positive what the actual date was.
I always forget to go to TJ's though ours is older. So sorry about your friend. :(
ReplyDeleteHopping over from Lauren's link up - I had a book shower for my baby shower too, and it's WAY more fun than sitting around while the mommy-to-be opens all the gifts! Have a great time :)

1. How did I not know you lived in Orlando?!
ReplyDelete2. I ventured to Trader Joe's and there were people physically fighting over the last frozen items. What in the wooorld?! But I did manage to snag a couple of those $3 bottles and some cookie butter, which made it totally worth it!
Isn't TJ's awesome? I love it! I find it funny that you say it's cheap, someone else recently discovered it and complained of it being expensive. I think it's decent for the product they provide. Now I'm going to go make myself some teriyaki chicken (minus the teriyaki to cut on calories, and the chicken is delicious!) and some couscous and veggies!
ReplyDeleteThat salad looks so yumMy and amazing! Everytime I see a salad nowadays I get so excited because its basically what I eat haha
