I realized very quickly I had no "Weight Watchers friendly" food in the place as I haven't gone grocery shopping in a while. My father recently had an accident and fractured his ankle and my mother had her knees replaced so I've been scrambling like a chicken with it's head cut off to take care of all of us. Great time to start this thing huh? Ha ha! Anyway, I did well throughout the day and kept thinking over and over again how the heck am I going to eat this many points in one day? So I tried to plan accordingly and I think I did pretty well. Just dinner and a snack left and I still have half of my points allotted for the day.
I'm not the kind of person who describes what they ate all day so I don't plan on starting now. Let's just say, Yoplait creamy peach yogurt is divine, and 3 points. :)
After work I went and picked up a few things just to get me through the week so that I could do a big shop on the weekend. "Smart Ones" is Weight watchers food brand and they have a bunch of meals, breads, etc. Anyway, when I went to the walmart supercenter after work (which is right beside my work) I decided to just grab everything they had that was weight watchers. They unfortunately didn't have much selection and I ended up walking out with two breakfasts, two dinners and a dessert to my surprise. I also picked up some crispy minis (dill pickle and ranch tortillas) some popcorn, and some breakfast bars. I'll give a yay or nay on the foods as I eat them. I'm planning on having the Chicken Parmesan for dinner tonight 'cause my parents are having spaghetti.
Now, being that we are in a recession, I'm sure everyone is trying to save money. Even a few dollars and cents wherever they can. So, in my what I thought at the time genius, I decided to go to the walmart supercentre to pick up the ol' groceries because I thought it would be cheaper. So I walk out of there feeling I got good deals and then when I unpacked the groceries I sat down to look at the flyers (which is a guilty pleasure of mine, along with Pauly Shore) ANYway, and I noticed every last thing I picked up from Walmart was on sale at Sobey's. INCLUDING some other things I would have picked up such as Asian pears and Weight Watchers bread products. Boy was I ticked. Then I was kicking myself all the way upstairs to find my Government of Canada GST credit check lying on my desk. WHOOT an extra $71.31! I'll go out tomorrow and pick up a few more things at Sobey's so I have stuff in the house, I mean, a deals a deal. And THIS was a deal.
Anyway, I came home from work and grocery shopping around 5:30. I gave myself 30 mins to check my e-mail, change and start working out. Now, I have a variety of different things I do yoga, kickboxing, weight training, walking etc. However, I wanted to start off slow since I hadn't worked out since before the holidays. I didn't want to walk as it is freezing rain out there and slippery like a mother trucker and I don't have a death wish so I thought it would be a fantastical idea to stay inside. So I did. I went down into the basement where our "gym" is and I popped in what I thought was a kick boxing tape. No no, it was a Richard Simmons tape that belonged to my mother that I used to do as a joke that year I lost 100 lbs to make myself laugh. I did it, to give myself a good send off into the work out world again and man, I was laughing and sweating. It didn't really help that it was BOILING in the basement. I guess that's what you get when you work out beside the furnace. Anyway, it was fun. I know, I know, a lot of people would probably make fun of me for even doing it. Oh well, try it, I know it's cliche, but it's frickin' fun.
Enjoy! ;)
