As January closes and February begins, I'm looking forward to a better weight loss month ahead. Today was a great day though. I focused on just staying within my points and did a grocery haul. I forgot, of course to take photos of my grocery haul, before I put it all away but I can list what I bought:

Organic Sucanat
Splenda
Organic Bananas
Organic Apples
Organic Grapefruit
Organic Rasberries
Organic Blueberries 2 packages
Organic Strawberries
Organic Carrots
Organic Brocolli
Organic Cauliflower
Organic cucumber
Organic grape tomatoes
Organic green onions
Organic greek yogurt
cottage cheese
Clover 1% milk (no hormones)
Organic applesauce
Organic natural peanut butter
Organic ezekiel bread
whole wheat tortillas
72 eggs (four 18 count cartons)
chocolate and vanilla whey protein
Organic Almond Milk
Corn Kernals (for air popped popcorn)
butter
Canned pure pumpkin
2 cartons egg whites
wheat flour

Some of this will last 2 weeks, most of it only 1 week. I already had meats in the freezer so I didn't have to buy any of that this time. My husband and I eat the same foods...so I buy quite a bit as he's a big eater. It's expensive but our health is important to us so we don't mind cutting back in other areas.

The only thing I didn't do today was move. I didn't exercise. I am exhausted and I'm just not going to do it tonight. In fact, I'm going to load up a couple of pics to this blog and hit my pillow! (I'm having some work issues and fighting a bit of depression...so I haven't been as motivated as I was the last 7 months....but I'm working on it.)

This pic is of my lunch...ground turkey seasoned with onion powder and garlic salt on an ezekiel tortilla with sliced cremini mushrooms sauted in olive oil. I love cremini mushrooms! They have a milk buttery flavor to them when they are sauted. And, a picture of my Acorn Squash I ate earlier in the day. I have mixed in some vanilla soy milk, a 1/2 tsp of sucanat and some pumpkin pie spice...one of my favorite winter veggies!

I'm looking forward to trying some new recipes I got off YouTube this week. Oh, if you're a YouTuber I vlog there on two different channels. One is TheWeightLossDiaries and the other is my personal channel deniseolmstead.

Stay Strong and remember....no excuses!
