Do you want fries with that?

Why is it that when you make a plan or a schedule that everything comes up at once to ruin that plan? Do you know what I mean? It has been a few weeks since I have entered something into my blog, mainly because time has gotten away from me and two, because I am embarrassed to say that I haven’t lost any weight! It takes a lot of nerve sometimes to admit when you messed up. Between wrap up parties for community events, end of school activities for my son, sick children, busy evenings, and Memorial Day, things have not gone my way as far as healthy eating habits and a workout time. Needless to say, fast food played a big role in my lack of weight loss! Tomorrow is another day though.

So my plan tonight…grocery shopping. I absolutely dread going to the grocery store. I tend to compare it to Black Friday because no matter what time of day it is the store is crowded, the lines are long, and I spend way too much money on a half-full basket. One thing I have started doing is using coupons. Yes, it may make my trips a little longer but it has become a challenge to me to see how much money I can save. I shop at Kroger’s where they double or triple your coupons depending on the amount of the coupon. I get all excited to see my savings when they print out my receipt, which is usually as long as my leg, to discover that I have saved anywhere from $60 - $80.00! I have even gotten compliments before from other frustrated shoppers that they need to start doing that same thing to save money. The only problem now is that they never have coupons for healthy food.

So here’s to grocery shopping, a less stressful and busy week, hopefully, and good health!
