Happy Hump Day! Is it wrong that I don't want to post my gain? UGH. I'll tell you what it said: 144.4 but I am going to record on Friday for my official weigh-in. Today I brought no food to work. I did have breakfast, but I want to have a super low day to get myself back on track. I just filled my purple water bottle with 32 oz, that should keep me busy for awhile!!!
I think I'm going to set a mini-vacation weight goal to motivate myself, as Momo suggested. It's a little over 9 weeks away. I'm going to make the goal completely realistic and attainable! 10 lbs. So I should be able to get to 134.4 by then.
Yesterday after work I had Salem stop at this grocery store outlet called Amelia's. I think it is a very small chain and just in my state of PA.
At first, as we walked through I was AMAZED by how low the prices were. And they had name brands, like Kashi, Cascadian Farms, etc. They even had organic dog food! So I was thinking, hmmm, this is too good to be true. I picked up one of the packs of dog food and looked at the expiration date. It was August of LAST year. We did find some juice Salem wanted that actually had a good expiration date. Then when we were in line I watched this family checking out. All their food were NOT healthy. I didn't see a single fruit or veggie. And they were all obese, even the kids. And then they paid with a food stamp card. It made me sad.
Time for some gratitude...
THREE THINGS I'M GRATEFUL FOR TODAY:
1) Halfway through the work week
2) CEO of my work paying for our team lunch on Friday
3) Payday tomorrow
Have a great day today all!

That store could get in so much trouble for selling out of date food like that - thats terrible! Its like when I get my fresh fruit at Wegmans - I ALWAYS look it all over, because so many times theres mold! YUCK! Anyway, I'm glad your going to do the little mini-challenge - I think it will be really great! Have a good one buddy, ooh, and thanks for the makeup tip - I got 11 items for $13 WITH shipping!! Woo hooooo!!!

I'll join you in the mini-challenge Christina!! I want to drop 10 lbs by the end of September so when we go to Portland I'll be at the BOTTOM of my maintenance range. Some expiration dates don't mean a whole lot ... the food is still good long past expiration but one needs to be careful with that!! Of course it is not 'wrong' not to post your gain. I often procrastinate it a few days but eventually ... I find Info's advice wise and I simply face my music. It goes up, it comes down, it is all a part of the journey. I do not like the fluctuations but they are a part of the journey and I KNOW they will be with me FOREVER. So, I may as well become accustomed to taking them in stride NOW. Have a lovely day!!!

I have a produce store thats very cheap here, I have to look some stuff over but I think its worth it MOST Of the time. My hub is super picky w/ the experation dates though so I won't buy anything past or close to it. Kudos for checking, I bet many are buying it not even realizing it. yikes. Hey whats your makeup tip? did I missed that post???

Your mini goal sounds like a great idea... Those expiry dates are sometimes very hard to find.. I wonder how many people actually look for them.. I know I do... I wonder if anyone has reported that store... about the family checking out.. I see that so often and you would think that with all the media hype about obesity around the world.. more people would make small steps to be healthier... I'm sure your gain will be gone quickly... have a great day...
