Yesterday was a good day. My bike ride burned as much as usual but I enjoyed it. If I keep this up one more day I will have gone for my morning ride seven days in a row! That will be a record for me!

Shopping!
Those that know me, know how much I love to shop...not just for clothes and things but really any kind of shopping! Yesterday was grocery shopping day (I had also gone on Saturday-2 stores, 2 days to save as much $ as possible!). I was extra excited to go shopping because I was determined to buy some good healthy low point foods. This was also my first shopping trip since restarting Weight Watchers, so I was armed with my points calculator and ready to go :o) We bought a lot of fresh produce-usually about 25% of my budget is spent there but this time it was closer to 35%. Although I cringed a bit think about how little money that left me for the rest of the store, I just kept a mental tally on the total. Some really great discoveries-Wheat Thins Stix (3), Simply Fruit Roll Ups (1), Kix (3-for 1 1/2 cups!), turkey brats (3) and sweet potato fries (4). The sticks are AMAZING! I am buying more today as we just bought one box to try them. Overall we only went over budget by a bit but we get more grocery money today so I wasn't really that worried. I saved about $10 with coupons. I feel like we have a good stock of healthy foods both meal food and snack food which is just what I need to stay on track.
Yesterday I did excellent on points! I had enough left after supper to indulge in a sundae cone YUM! I did so well that I still had points left after that and I felt full! I hope that I can keep up wonderful days like yesterday! Ice cream is good so it makes me happy that I can eat it without feeling guilty! That is part of why I love WW SO much!
Today is off to a good start I feel good, I have a plan for the day, and I am falling in love...with a puppy. Some of you will read this and think that someone else is typing when I say that I want a dog. Heck, one year for April Fools Day I posted a picture of "my new puppy" and finally when I revealed the truth one of my friends expressed their immediate disbelief when they saw the picture. I have said time and time again that I love dogs but from a distance. I love to pet them and play with them and send them home (much like what some people say about kids HA!). I have no desire to have one more thing that needs my attention-I clean up enough poop by having a 2 year old! All that being said, I am in love with a beautiful beagle puppy down at the pound. My ride takes me by there every morning and every morning I love that dog more and more-I don't even know if it is a boy or a girl...I should really check the paper. As much as I love the pup I know that I am dreaming. We have no place for a dog and no time for a dog. I just hope it gets a good home. I think that this sudden desire springs from the people that I see on the trail with their dogs. Their dogs look so happy and they look so happy. Who wouldn't want a piece of that happiness?
I am so proud of you, Cassi! The 7 day stretch AND healthy eating at the same time!!! You're an inspiration for me to keep going, even though its hard.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone agrees that beds are too wonderful and comfy to want to leave. I wake up, smile in happiness of the comfort, and fall back to sleep with a smile (sometimes, of course. Sometimes I'm just tired and crabby).
Thanks for your writings!
