Silly things interest me. I read blogs and people are always mentioning the names of stores that I have never heard of. So leave a comment and tell me where YOU get your groceries. I go to Walmart, Publix, Food Lion, and Kroger - occasionally Aldi's.
I am so bad at mornings. I was able to get in bed a little before 11:30 last night. That's great for me! Lol Then I slept soundly until 6:47 am. I got up to use the restroom and felt so awake and wonderful! I started to just stay up and start my day. But then I decided everyone was asleep and laying down again until my alarm went off at 7:05 am would be fine. WRONG. I kept hitting snooze and rolled out at 7:30. Phooey!
I did, however, get up and walk. Yeehaw. I did the same video as yesterday, 1 mile.
Breakfast was a Lean Pocket and 2 Cuties.
7 points+.
Lunch today was chicken salad made with 3 oz of Tyson canned chicken, 14 grams of RF mayo, 10 grams dried cranberries, and a hard boiled egg on an Arnold sandwich thin. I also had some strawberries, a WW string cheese, and 28 grams of Baked Lays. We were supposed to have celery, but much to my husband and kids' dismay delight, it was no good. I bought the precut kind and it looked like it had fur growing on the ends!!! Lol
Since I didn't have celery, I dug around in the freezer and found a box of Green Giant Brussels sprouts in a butter sauce. I had 1/2 cup.
1 points+.
Before leaving for the kids' music lessons, I had a South Beach Diet protein bar.
3 points+.
Supper tonight was 4 oz of pork roast topped with 14 grams BBQ sauce, one small red potato, some carrots and onions, green beans cooked in olive oil, and 1/4 cup 2% milk mac and cheese.
10 points+.
Then I made a stupid decision. I didn't have a single thought of sweets on my mind. The husband said he had to run to Dollar General to get some batteries. In my mind, Dollar General equals dessert. This is because it is 2 minutes from our house and I always send hubby there when I have some sort of irrational craving. :( He made the mistake of asking if I needed anything, and I said yes. I ended up having 4 Palmar chocolate mints.
6 points+.
Can you BELIEVE the points value on those puppies! I seriously love these. For some reason, I associate them with Mexican food. Lol Most Mexican restaurants I've ever been to have these in the little candy jars by the cash register. But only 4 for 6 points+? OMW.
While blogging, I had a banana.
0 points+.
In a nutshell: I wish I hadn't had the mints after having the SBD bar. I would've felt better about having one or the other, but not both. I also admit I drank TWO Diet Dr. Peppers today. But today wasn't all bad. I made some good choices and enjoyed some good food. I went 7 points+ over my daily points today. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna rest tomorrow and then do my walk video again on Thursday. It is already 11:30 and I still have radishes to cut! ha! Goodnight everyone. Don't forget to tell nosy 'ole me where you get your groceries. LOL
Trader Joe's!
ReplyDeleteI shop at Kroger and Walmart (ugh) I do go to Publix maybe once every 2 weeks. I LOVE Trader Joes but it is an hour from my house so I dont go as often as I would like.
ReplyDeleteI shop at Meijers mostly and then we have a small in town grocery store that I go to when I am desperate (too expensive). I like Meijers fruit and veggie selection better than Walmart.
ReplyDeleteShoprite, Target, Walmart, A&P
ReplyDeleteoh yeah i forgot about target, actually I shopped there yesterday, picked up almond milk, bananas and marshmallow fluff as well as other things. Loveeee target
DeleteSafeway and Walmart!
ReplyDeleteI'm in Canada so you probably haven't heard of these: Zehrs, Food basics or Sobey's is where I buy my groceries.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like all in all you had more good than bad today. Don't let the 'bad' get out of proportion in your head and make you think everything was bad. It wasn't. You're on the right track mentally. That is the hardest part. The physical will soon follow.
ReplyDeleteI shop mostly at Harris Teeter and some at Publix. I love me some Publix produce.

I'm in the DC metro area, and shop at Giant (I can walk from my condo), unless the sales at Safeway are better. I love Trader Joe's, but only go occasionally for specialty items. There is a Shopper's Food Warehouse that has really good prices (one of those stripped-down places where you bag your own groceries), but it's further away and I have to balance paying for extra gas with saving a little more on groceries. My dad used to tease my grandmother that she would spend $5 in gas to save 20 cents on a can of peas. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha you are too cute!! Where do you shop? LOL Well. Lets just see here...I mostly shop at good ole crappy walmart where the cashiers are mostly hateful to me hahah and then I also like to shop at aldis bc its sooo cheap and most stuff is soo good! But then we also go to costco like once a month. SO i rarely ever actually go to a grocery store besides walmart. Sometimes food lion, but if ever food lion its because I forgot to get something somewhere else or its a food emergency haha. Your eats look good, and my mex place has those mints too!!!! I LOVE THEM, they are like 50 cals a piece i think
ReplyDeleteWe shop mostly at Aldis, Tops and Wegmans!
ReplyDeleteGood job on a good day.
I go to Kroger because there are a million around here. I occassionally shop at Marsh because it is the closest to my house, although more expensive. But if/when they ever do triple coupons again - this sister will be there SO fast! :)
ReplyDeletePubix, Aldi, Walmart, Save-a-lot, Sam's Club and Target occasionally.
