Diet - Day #1

Yesterday, I did ok. Not having food or a vehicle to get to the store I had to wait until 5:00 to fill the cupboards. I made do with some foods we had, only to discover when I entered the little bit I ate into my calorie counter app, they were high in calories. I still stayed within my range and yes, I even took a walk. Now there is a big difference between getting up at 6:00 and walking and the walk in the evening that includes the 5 year old daughter. But we still got in more exercise than before and even stopped at the park. Jay Leno wonders why the US has such obese people - I can tell you. It is because buying fresh and healthy foods is expensive. I spent $150 at the store and didn't buy alcohol, or tons of meat. I bought a Foster Farms chicken for over $7.00. That is insane! Now if it laid golden eggs or something I could see the price tag fitting, but c'mon it's a chicken people! The only other item I bought from the meat department was a package of ground beef for over $4.00. It's only a pound of ground beef and not even organic. I hate living in the Bay Area as it is so expensive! Fresh fruits and vegetables are insane - $2.00 for a head of lettuce. I can buy chips cheaper. Yeah, yeah... but I won't. Ugh, I can tell I am going to lose more than pounds on this diet! I had better get thinner because my wallet already is!
