Trader Joes

It used to be I could buy 4 to 5 bags of groceries there for $125 - went there yesterday and bought barely anything, and it was 1 1/2 bags worth - for $65.00... I have to say - they are raising up their prices and I don't like it... :(

I love their turkey meatballs... easy fix when you don't feel like cooking....

I love their cheese prices, but I noticed they were going way up too... they are easily catching right up with Whole Foods.

Well... I find lately that when I go out to eat... I swell, feel bloated, and it doesn't help with weight loss - even though I was very careful to order salads - no croutons, and have just an oil and vinegar dressing on the side.... I think I am just going to skip the eating out for a few weeks... it doesn't seem to be the healthiest choice for "me" at the moment...

I've packed a bag in our office fridge...

Ham, Cheese, Strawberries, Mineral Water

and I am keeping a bag of roasted mixed nuts at my desk for those serious hunger/craving moments.

I have no clue how much weight I've lost, but yesterday I had three people mention to me "the weight loss"... I don't talk to anyone about the "weight loss" part because I still keep telling myself I want to focus on the "health" not the "weight"... So far, I'm feeling fantastic - other than being bloaty and gassy from eating out...
