I am still fighting this cold and honestly, its just annoying at this point. While its not effecting my workouts like it was earlier this week, I still have trouble breathing. Feeling a little sluggish, but its my day off so I can't complain about a little snot.
Yesterday was just one thing to the next, and by the time I made it to the grocery store I wanted to fake a bum knee replacement and hop in a riding cart. I was exhausted. I didn't even have time during the day to make an actual grocery list, so I had to wing it. For the record, I HATE doing that. I am a list slut and my OCD was going crazy to be in there without one. Some of you are like this and completely understand the anxiety I experienced. Others of you live in a spur-of-the-moment-list-rebel world that sounds like a small dose of hell to me. The one thing that drove me nuts in there was the price of avocados. Last week I paid $2.29 for 1, and this week they were $0.97. They were probably laced with pesticides and traveled in the same truck as fertilizer. I was glad to save a little, but its just a tease because I'll probably pay 4 bucks next week.
Buying fresh and natural can certainly be more expensive, but I'd argue that the health consequences of treating your body like a toilet and feeding it crap will cost you more. Period. In one way or another, the cost will be much greater.
Challenge of the day: throw 3 things out of your pantry. I don't care if there is still some in the box, you don't need it. Replace it with real food. Try something new. There are a ton of vegetables and fruit in season right now. If you've never been to a local farm or farmer's market you are missing out on what they are truly supposed to taste like. Post what you threw out...and don't just say you'll do it later....make a move now.
Here we go Friday.
Its the jump start to the weekend and mine is going to be packed. We are celebrating my precious niece (Haven)'s first birthday.
I seriously cannot believe she's almost one. Let the spoiling begin, I mean continue. Then I've got a 21st birthday celebration the following day. My guess is that the parties will be slightly different. Breast milk at one, beer at the other. THEN, I get to go with my sister in law, mom, and future sister in law to pick out dresses for the wedding. I just told her not to put me in pink. I would rebel and probably show up in my birthday suit. What can I say, I'm all about making memories...
Have a wonderful Friday and stay focused this weekend. Remember your goals, push yourself, and never settle for average :)
