The First Step

The trick is to eat better! huh...who knew?
A few days ago I mentioned to David that I wanted to go back on my yellow pills. He gave me the look of disapproval, and in the words of Holly Golightly "I don't take money from disapproving gentlemen!" He made a valid point in his argument though, I give him that. He told me that I rely so much on these shakes and pills and crazy diets and I don't really put forth any effort to eat healthier or exercise. Exercise is still troubling to me. I'm so tired from work I just don't have the energy to run on a treadmill. Not to mention that 8 hours a day 6 days a week I am on my feet because I work retail so by the end of the day my feet hurt so bad I feel like they are going to fall off.
So I took myself to the grocery store, and instead of the easy to make meals I buy for David when I won't be home in time to make dinner, I got healthy stuff. Raspberries, mangos, salad, healthy choice meals for lunch and so on. I took pride in myself for passing up all the crap and making good decisions. The result of better eating is a bigger bill though. My normal $60 bi-weekly grocery spending turned into $130.
I think if I add up in my head though how much I ate out and bought my lunch from AJ's or Pei Wei I would have spent about the same amount in one week.
So cheers to me for taking the first step to a healthier lifestyle!
