LONG DAY TODAY.......LEARNED HOW TO SHOP

So today my sister came in from Kansas City so she could teach me some things about cooking. We took my daughter to the park with our puppy and tried to do some walking. I didnt get very far because the puppy pooped out before I did.

I realized quickly that all the mothers up at the park gave me really bad looks. I was trying to walk fast and I ended up getting all red faced and sweaty...HOW EMBARRASSING.....I would walk in circles around the playground keeping my eye on my daughter......and i literally saw a mom whisper to one of her friends and her friend looked up right at me.....WTF!!!! Im walking aren't I!!?!?!?!

So after the Park we came back to the house and dug ourselves into a massive collection of cookbooks my sister brought along.

O-M-G IM SUCH A PICKY EATER!!!!! So my sister and I came up with some dinner ideas and good snacks that I could eat to keep on PLAN!

She wrote me a list of items to get from the grocery store and sent me by myself to the store. I went in....looking stupid as can be (b/c this time i was not going straight to the freezer section) and started looking for the random items.....chicken (boneless & skinless) who knew? Also....some TUNA and make sure its IN WATER......i grabbed some in oil on accident.....didnt think there was much difference...OOPS....

Items on my list included:

Bread (i did white...i cant stand wheat)

Cereal (high fiber) I ended up with Total and Special K

Bananas

Yogart

Apples

FAT FREE Sour Cream (yuck.....but we all have to make sacrifices)

Skim Milk (for my cereal & protein shake)

Salad (not for me!!! I HATE SALAD.....it was for my hubby)

Boneless/Skinless Chicken (I got breasts and thighs)

Green Beans

Beef Broth

Pork Shoulder Roast (pulled pork)

Veg oil

Lemon Pepper

Eggs

OK GET THIS.......they have a I CANT BELIEVE ITS NOT BUTTER.......drumroll please......FAT FREE

Turkey (lunch meat)

Potatoes....(scalloped)

Shake N Bake (these are amazingly ok to eat...not bad on cals or carbs)

So i had a pretty big list. I was pretty frustruated.....picking which kind out and what to get is so hard. They don't teach that in school.

We are having shake n bake chicken breast and thighs....and scalloped potatoes for dinner....NO BREAD ROLLS.....I think I will have milk tonight......i need something other than WATER

So hopefully I get back on my walking on the treadmill tomorrow...

OH OH OH OH.....AND I FORGOT TO SAY.....

When I got up this morning and put on my pair of capris the were LOOSE!!!! These are button up and have been tight for the past year. They are the kind that have to stretch a bit because they are so tight and they actually hurt my waste because they are so tight....

WELL NOT TODAY!!!!!!!
