Day One

I was thinking the first day would be big deal.  As I write this I’m exhausted and looking forward to a quiet Friday night.  After a long day at work I headed to the grocery store to make sure I have non meat foods on hand for my little adventure.  The produce section, or as I usually think of it, the walk way to the meat section has never been an area that I spend tons of time in.  Today I filled the top part of the cart with vegetables, few extra potatoes and fruit.  I tried to think about what I would be cooking and eating this week while giggling at the cucumbers I picked out.  

 I got lots of hummus and some sweet pita bread also.  Then came the meat section.  I avoided the entire corner the best I could but found myself looking sheepishly, much like a sex addict trying not to look at the top shelf of porn at the local variety store.  I glanced on bacon and chicken wieners for a dollar.  A dollar!  I don’t know what parts of chicken would be in those wieners but for a dollar!

I got home with my 4 bags of food.  Squash takes up more space then you think as does.  Anyway, before I could put away my new healthy food I followed through with my plan to move all the meat from my upstairs freezer to my downstairs freezer.  About this time my friend who has been giving me a hard time with this change arrived.  She held open a bag as I filled it with chicken, spaghetti sauce and more chicken.  The walk of shame with that bag to the basement freezer was a little heavy.  I mean, how many chicken sales did I hit this summer?  Anyway, when I came back up I realized how empty the freezer was and how much room I now had.  For what?  Frozen vegetables.

So now I’m exhausted and can’t even think about what to make for dinner or what to think about making.  So, dinner tonight was a pita, some sweet potato hummus and a diet root beer.  Slightly uneventful so far.  No one has had to pry a chicken leg out of my hand.  Yet.
