Cheap Food

I went to the grocery today and spent over $150. Way too much! But, I bought TONS of salmon, beef, chicken, and pork. They were having huge bargains since the 4th is tomorrow. For a 1/2 lb of salmon, it was only around $2. Just over $2 for chicken tenders. Now, my freezer is full, and of healthy lean meats and fish!

I hope everyone is planning on having a good time for the 4th. We are going to the IL house for a cookout. I am planning on bringing both watermelon and a healthy salad so that I will have something to eat that is good on points. I hope everyone is planning this kind of thing for the 4th so that they are prepared for cookouts.

I had a great workout at the gym and even took the LO with me. The LO only cried a tiny bit and I worked out for a total of 40 mins. I went back and forth between cario and weights. When I felt my heartrate start to slow, I would jump back on the treadmill for a while. It said that I only earned 3 points, but it felt like more like 4 points. But, I only counted the 3.

Have a great 4th!

OK WI

I got on the scale and had lost 1 pound. I am very happy to be losing. Sometimes, I want to whine because I wish I could lose at superfastlightening speed. That's how I gain, after all! But, when I really think about it, a little at a time does me just fine! I am better off than where I started. And I will continue to be better off.

I am so proud. The LO won at a baby contest at a local fair. I was against going, but my husband and his family thought it would be great. I am glad we did it now that the LO won! Blue ribbon, too!

I hope everyone keeps up with their good spirits about good eating habits. I know weekends can be discouraging for us. However, it is for the best to work hard. This is a lifetime thing we've got going on. Either you decide it is worth being healthy, or you give up. Giving up, in my opinion, is a good way to a shorter, more stressful life. This lifestyle will help me live longer for my kid, my husband, my family, my students. I WANT to be around for them!
