So I did it. I stepped on the scale. Brandon encouraged me, thinking it would help get me determined and back on track. And he was right! I definitely gained weight on the trip. About five pounds. Ugh. That sounds so awful. I was depressed for a day, then it turned into
Determination. So I went to Macey's last night and this is what I got: a watermelon, oranges, apples, strawberries, bananas, Kellog's Mini Bites Honey Oat (First time to try them and I love them! And there's 6 g of fiber in a serving!) Also pancake mix, fat free sour cream, skim milk, Ziploc freezer bags, Special K Bars, boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced turkey, tomatos, and red peppers. In the checkout line, the man behind me said, "So that's what it looks like to eat healthy." That made me feel good! And the first thing I thought was, "I like eating like this. It makes me feel good."
Also last night I found another way to save money on produce! I bought 3 lbs of strawberries since they were on sale and am going to cut and freeze them myself, which is SO much cheaper than buying frozen fruit. Macey's also sells overripe banans for $.50.lb, so I got 2 bunches. They aren't so far gone that I can't freeze them for smoothies or use for banana bread!
So here's to a more determined outlook! Vacation happens, but I can get back on track! Thanks everyone for the support!
I think it is improtant to enjoy your vactions! As for the feeling better when you eat well I totally agree!
ReplyDeleteI like your version of how to save money on produce better than the one I heard the other day. She saved money by doing the self-checkout and saying everything was the cheapest fruit.
