First Mini-Shopping.

I went grocery shopping today.  It was one of those husband-with-me-race-through-the-store-and-get-only-what’s-necessary shopping trips, so I didn’t even bother to bring my new shopping list with me.  I’m thinking I’ll do a nice leisurely grocery shop trip on Friday.  Friday evening.  It’s payday and hubby will be at work.
.

I did buy a few things, though.  I got two bags of mixed salad greens and a jar of sunflower seed kernels.  I got low-fat cottage cheese, 100-calorie snack bags of microwave popcorn, and low-fat cheese snacks.  I got potatoes for baking and whole-wheat bread.  And I got grapes and bananas.

.
It’s a start!  I have a cold so I slept in this morning until 11 and then didn’t eat anything until after the shopping trip, so here’s my calories so far today:
.
Salad - 10.  LF dressing 1/2 tbls. - 25.  Sunflower kernels - 30.  whole-wheat bread - 100.  LF margarine - 50.  I was going to have some grapes and bananas with my lunch but felt satisfied so I’ll save those for snack.  It’s after 2pm and I’ve consumed less than 200 calories today!  I’m not happy about being sick though.  I have a horrible sore throat and cough and I’m all congested and groggy.  It was really fun going out to the grocery store feeling like that but I had no choice.  Hubby needed his lunch foods and hell would surely freeze over if he went and grocery-shopped for himself.
.
I think I’m gonna go back to bed.
