I Had To Do It

My goal for the new year is to eat healthier and get myself healthier.
Today I had to bite the bullet and go to the grocery store and do the shopping for the healthy foods we need. My daughter and I split up the list and covered the store in half the time which worked very well.
I really didn't want to go out in this freezing weather but I knew if I put it off another few days would go by without me doing what I need to do. I'm so sick of leftovers and we finally purged and got rid of all the sweet snacks that were left.
Now we have plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables so I have no excuse to fall off the 2018 wagon.
It's bitter cold but now it's done and I'm home where it's toasty warm.
Tomorrow I'm going to make soup which is perfect for this bone chilling cold weather.
What's going on with you today?

I ate pretty clean at breakfast but I was bad at my lunch/dinner. When we get to Florida I am going back to steel cut oatmeal and smoothies.

Every little bit helps even if you didn't have a perfect day. When are you heading to Florida?

I guess you could call it a resolution even though I don't usually make resolutions. Good for you losing that 6 pounds

@Marilynda1225 Whatever you call it, it's a wise decision or goal to make. I wasn't trying to lose it, but what the heck! Easy peasy. I think I will now try to lose 5 on purpose. Wish me luck!!! lol

I started eating more veggies yesterday, I had a nice bowl of kale for breakfast 
Its cold here as well and we are out of diet coke so I will head out too, plus pay a bill or two.

I am missing eating vegetables so I'm stocking up. I haven't eaten kale yet but maybe I'll try it one of these days

I am going to try very hard to get myself healthier and hopefully get off some of the medications I take

We have so many leftovers to go through still . . . I'll start the healthier eating next week 
. Today we're going to do some minor grocery shopping in the morning, but the rest of the day we want to spend outdoors. It's gray and apparently it's going to rain (probably barely) tomorrow.

Our weather is ridiculous and I don't remember it being this cold in years. We did our big food shopping today so I'm set

@Marilynda1225 Oh - it is cold this morning for us. I am still waiting on the rain that is supposedly going to fall.

I'm sure you'll feel better too if you get back to walking and running. It's too cold and icy here for me to walk but once it gets nicer I'll be getting in those extra steps

It's crazy cold and usually the cold doesn't bother me.

I made some soup this week, and with this weather it is so nice to warm up a little dish for my lunch at work. And since I don't usually take soup it has made it easier for me to change what I eat also. Good luck with changing your eating habits, it isn't easy is it?

I made broccoli and stilton soup this afternoon and had that for tea with some crusty bread.
