make it happen!

make it happen!

yes I can make it happen!  Yes I can do this! I'm all amped up about going to the gym tonight!  so is the BF!  He even stated we can meet right at the gym instead of me coming home first.. i said no.. I don't like leaving my purse in the car or in the locker room there.. I'ld rather leave it at home.. which is only 1 min away so no biggie.  gym.. followed by alittle bit of grocery shopping.. followed by dinner... and then Heroes... then bed time.. Sounds like I'm back into routine..


Andddd I have to tell you.. I absolutely LOVE LOVE pre-paring my lunches!  It makes getting ready in the morning so much easier and I have more time cuz I just grab my lunch for the day and go.  I don't have to think about it.

So I have a confession to make.
Yup
I think I'm addicted to grocery stores.. lol funny as it sounds
But I absolutly love walking round in them and looking at stuff.
Yesterday I went to whole foods to check it out.. HOLY expensive!  The same stuff, brand, size is at Trader Joes for 1/3 of the price.  I have to admit I was greatly dissapointed and will probably not shop at whole foods.  Granted they did have ALOT of stuff to choose from but whole wheat pizza dough for 5 bucks when I can get it at trader joes for 99 cents?  Come on now! lol Plus Trader joes is closer to my house and on the route to home.. where as whole foods is not.
Blah what ever.  I'm just ranting lol


So yeah I'm planning on hitting stop and shop tongiht lol (told you I'm addicted).
They have progresso soups on sale and I love those!  Plus we need some toilet paper, cottage cheese, reg cheese, deli meat and bread, yogurt, hummas, bananas... little things.  I think we are all set with dinner foods at the moment.. just finding healthy snacks is the key.  Any suggestions anyone has??  I'ld love em!

ok.. time to get more work done
today for fooding I have

Yogurt,
banana
salad w/ tuna and a splash of italian dressing
grapes
dinner will consist of fish, broccali and salad.

Hey there

There is a Trader Joes not far from our house, but I've never been.  We are military and shop on base.  Well, dh shops on base. 

You and I are opposites.  I would rather have a root canal than go to the grocery.  Thankful dh likes it, and we have a great plan.  I make the list, he goes to the store, I put it away and we both prep all the veggies and stuff. 

It works! 

Great you only live one minute from the gym.  That's super nice.  Do you and your bf workout together or split up?  Dh and I split up most times. 

Hope you have a great workout.

Hi there

Hi Lori,

Your so funny with the food shopping.  Sometimes I like to look around, but not much, my Hubby does it, and I'm sooo glad.!

Hope you enjoy your gym, and glad your feeling better!

Bye for now

Me too!

As long as Tatum's being good, I LOVE grocery shopping! 

Sounds like you truly are happy and back in a routine.  That's cool that BF is pumped about the gym too!

Same here!

I love grocery stores!  Living in the UK, I really miss my Trader Joe's.  There is a Whole Foods here, but it's even more expensive, if you can believe it!  Although if you buy their own brand (the 360 brand) it's comparable prices to Trader Joe's from what I remember.
