I got off of work today at 4pm and headed to the gym. After changing, riding the bike for 40min and then changing back into my work clothes... I went to the grocery store to stock my refrigerator and pantry with good-for-me foods.
I've never spent more than maybe $50 in a grocery store. I almost always get one of those hand baskets.
Today...I pushed a cart.
I spent $77.32 on groceries, shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. Everything I bought is quite healthy - lots of fruit and veggies... Lean Cuisines, chicken, etc. No sodas. No junk food.
I was just checking out my receipt to see what all I'd bought in black and white. The most impressive part of the receipt wasn't the final cost...or the loooooong list of purchases - it was the "Total Savings" column. I bought sale items... used coupons, etc.
I saved $30.39!
Anyhow... one workout and one loooooooong shopping trip later (not to mention hauling all that shit to the 2nd floor), my ass is worn the fuck out. lol I sat down and ate a Lean Cuisine...had a glass of water...and now I'm going to make myself stay up for an hour or so before I pass out.
My "resolutions" seem to run together... save money... eat healthy...lose weight... workout.
This is going to be a good year. I just feel it.
This year I'm going to make up for last year. Last year sucked. I'm going to be good to myself.
