Tuesday Dinners and Workout Buddies

Bah! I forgot to take a picture of dinner tonight and it was fabulous!! For the past few months, on Tuesday, my friend, Amanda, and I get together and cooked dinner and watched Big Love. Now that this season of Big Love is over, we are catching up on True Blood, Season 2. For tonight’s dinner we decided to go with a “Cajun” theme this week since True Blood is set in Louisiana. I prepared Cajun Chicken Breasts and Amanda made Creole-Stuffed Mushrooms (recipe courtesy of Weight Watchers). And dessert was fresh strawberries topped with fat free cool whip. Grand total of 4.5 points. Quite possibly one of the lowest point dinners, but completely filling.

Our initial goal when we started making dinner each week was to also go on walks. Which never really happened because I was full of excuses. I’m too hungry, I’m tired, blah blah blah. But now that I’m into my new habit of working out then having dinner, Amanda and I are going to fit in working out as well. Tonight we both did the 30 Day Workout and it fully kicked our asses. It’s a workout that is better to do with someone because I have someone else keeping me in check and also correcting by bad form. Yay for more workout buddies!
