Let Them Eat... FISH!

Yesterday I had a BLAST going to Sam's Club and signing Jim and myself up to be members, and then shopping to my heart's content. :) Oh, let me tell ya... I just LOVE the fresh fruits and vegetables section there. It totally inspired me to start eating healthy meals again. And the reason I love that section is because they make it so EASY to eat healthy. They've got it set so that most of the work is done for you (or at least it feels that way), and with me that's a HUGE bonus! So I got some lettuce (Romaine hearts... the HEALTHY of the healthy lettuce), cucumbers, tomatoes (I got the grape tomatoes because Jim's not a tomato eater, so I got the kind he can just pick out without tomato juice on everything) :), corn on the cob... And then, I always promised myself that if I ever got a membership at one of these places, I would get the Salmon steaks like my mom used to get because they actually taste GOOD, and it's about one of the only ways I enjoy eating fish. So, true to my own promise, I went and found the frozen foods section and got some fish! :) (If you know me well, you know what a momentous occasion this is!) And of COURSE I loaded up on tons of other stuff that just makes eating fun... did I mention that I LOVE shopping at Sam's? In fact, I like it SO much that after Jim got home from work, we went back again!! :) But this was actually mostly so that Jim could get his card and check out the big flat screen tvs. He's got his heart set on getting one soon, so we're hunting around for a good deal somewhere. :) And then when we came home, and honest to goodness, I cooked us up a fish dinner... complete with a salad, corn on the cob, and FISH! :) Talk about a healthy meal. It was a lot of fun, and I tell ya what... it just makes you feel good to know you're taking care of your body. Well anyway... that about does it for my soap box discussion of fish, healthy eating, and Sam's club. :)
I hope you're all enjoying good health and a lot of fun... just like us! :) XOXO

The salmon steaks are one of the main reasons I want to have a Costco card someday. I love them! Don't you feel like you're eating like a king when you cook them up? I always feel so fancy.

Hmmm...I never thought to look for the salmon steaks - I know Chad would love them. I don't know about me but you may have convinced me into eating FISH...and I liked how you emphasized it everytime in your blog.

That's awesome! I found a little fruit stand shack down the road from us that has the most yummy fruits and vegetables. I have totally been stocking up! That little shack has too inspired me to cook healthy (that and the fact that I've already gained like 20 lb. and I still have 4 months to go!) Holly crap!
