grocery store adventures

Today was grocery shopping day! :) I can't believe I actually liked grocery shopping! I plan on making a few new things but I'm also sticking to a few of my favorite things. For example, the oatmeal with organic blueberries and real creamed honey and organic granola... I have started adding walnuts and almonds sometimes dried cherries and even fresh berries when I have them. :) I also got some new sugar from the organic section... evaporated cane juice??? It is supposed to be all natural??? I dunno, I'll use it a little here and there but not much. I figured it was worth a try and I won't go crazy with it...

Here is a recipe for lemon dill chicken skewers. They look amazing. I can't wait to try them.  Also, I got some shark meat! :) I LOOOOVE shark meat!  >>>>(shark meat hoo ha ha)<<<<

I follow a girl on instagram that puts together some AMAZING recipes. Her name is Kim...on instagram it's @pbeechie but her website is The Coconut Diaries and the recipes on there are so flippin awesome!!! I found her by accident, I was scrolling through the clean eats hash tag and someone tagged her in a turkey meatloaf recipe that looked amazing. I don't know this lady, but she is very inspiring! From what I've gathered she has lost 65+ pounds just by eating clean and living a healthy lifestyle. AWESOME!

So, grocery shopping today, I thought about something as I loaded all my healthy stuff onto the checkout line... I look like the fat girl that, bless her heart, she's trying. Buying all this healthy stuff and probably secretly eating a whole box of debbie cakes in the car (I got some honey buns for the kids...its a slow transition for them but they are eating healthier and healthier by the day and that makes me happy) I don't LOOK like I fit the mold for someone who buys a weeks worth of brussel sprouts and squash and quinoa (which by the way, I can't wait to try. Thank you Crystal for recommending it to me) I don't look healthy. Not yet. But I am so excited for the day when I fit the description. When I am fit. When buying 6 gallons of purified water and fresh fruits and veggies makes the person behind me feel guilty for their chips and cake and frozen pizzas. Maybe not GUILTY but makes them think "dang, she looks like THAT because she eats like THAT" instead of "obviously eating healthy doesn't do shit for her, look at THAT ass" lol

I know that's not really how it goes but you know what I mean! :)

Today was a good day. My children are finishing up their homework now (I got a late start to blogging today) and we are heading over to "Nana and Papa's" for dinner... AFTER Nana and Uncle Cain get back from the gym! :) How awesome is that!

Have A Healthy Night! <3
