David wanted salad for dinner and I wanted that too so I went to the grocery store. I thought about just picking up the salad stuff but I had some energy and since I was there I decided to just pick up everything I needed. Thankfully it wasn't very busy (I was there just after 5pm) because of the holiday. There were just a few things that they didn't have that I'll have to get at the Safeway (bagels, Werther's hard candies, Calcium for David). I'll try to do that tomorrow since it will only take a few minutes. The Werther's candies were suggested at a WW meeting to help with sweets cravings.
It took me about 40 minutes to do the shopping and about 20 minutes to put everything away. After that I made the salad. I'm resting now and blogging of course. That will give me some Activity Points for the day which is good.
I'm glad I got the shopping out of the way. I've been putting if off since Friday. I had enough food for meals so it wasn't a big deal. Today though I really needed to go to the store since we didn't have much for meals beside brats, which I don't eat. The salad tonight was really good so I'm glad I made it. I had enough left over for lunch tomorrow. I thought about putting it in David's lunch but I think I'll keep it for mine. lol I can have it with my sandwich. I did get some regular popcorn at the store too because the 94% FF is like cardboard. I got chips too to have with my lunch. I'm going to do my best not to snack on them otherwise.
I'd like to go for a walk tomorrow with Lisa if I'm not too tired, too sore or too out of breath. Sheesh! I'm a wreck! LOL I'm not feeling too bad tonight and the walk around the store told me that I could walk tomorrow. I just have to work out a time with Lisa. I'm going to do the 10 minute walk again. I don't want to push myself. I'll give it a couple of weeks of 10 minutes on the small loop then maybe try doing it twice. I'll know when it's time to start doing the loop twice. I probably could now at the pace I go at but I just don't want to over do it. Thankfully Lisa goes with me even though it's only a 10 minute walk and not any kind of workout for her. lol
I got a response on the WW online community about my post on success. One thing I didn't think of that I want to get and deserve to get from this journey is confidence. I know that as I go along I will get more confidence as I lose weight and follow the plan. I think I will also gain more respect for myself as I continue the WW plan because I'll be taking care of myself and doing the right things for me. I think if I can connect with people at the meeting I'll also feel different. Right now, even though I feel like I belong there, I don't feel connected at all. Dori is nice but I don't have a relationship with her yet. I hope to have one as I go along in my journey. I have to admit that it's in the back of my mind that she could leave so I don't want to get too close to her (like I felt I did with Karen). Dori has been there a long time and could retire at any time. I know that. I have to connect with the meeting not just Dori. I wan to feel like I belong there even if Dori leaves. I don't know if anyone else would do the awards the way Dori does and that's what I really like. I guess I'll just go every Wednesday no matter what unless I feel like I'm just not connecting at all. I'll give it a few months. If after that long, I haven't connected with anyone, I'll have to rethink the situation.
I could blog all night. LOL I love putting my thoughts in a post. It helps me to clear my head and to work things out. Plus I just have too much to put in a WW post. I like to try to keep those short. These though are for me so I feel like I can make them as long as I want them to be. It's good for me to blog about all this stuff. No one would want to hear it all anyway. lol
Well, I guess that's all I have to blog for now. I'm sure I'll think of something else later.
