Back down to 239 this morning so that makes me happy. I did go to the store this morning early and got quite a few things. I did buy peanut butter and bread because they'll stretch out the food a good bit. I just can't eat it after a certain time because it will affect my Gerd. But I restocked my eggs and a few canned goods I was almost out of and I got a few packs of microwave rice and that's something I haven't bought in a couple of months and it's filling but with almost zero sodium. And I was proud of myself because I didn't get even one bag of chips, but I did get a bag of Hershey's Milk Chocolate Nuggets, so I can have something sweet. Those will be my small indulgence in the evenings. Only allow myself 2 though. I picked up a few packs of balogna and cheese so I can have a sandwich for lunch. I enjoyed the quiches I make but I simply can't eat them every day. I need a little more variety. But what I bought today will have to carry me now until early August because I borrowed from money I had put into savings and that money will have to be replaced. That's my emergency car money and it makes me a little nervous not having it there but I don't have anywhere I need to go between now and SS# day so I'll be ok that way. But it also makes me short on what money I'll have next month without once again going into my savings so I'm going to stretch what groceries I have now as far as I can. Having the peanut butter will help me a great deal in that respect.
Margaret, I haven't tried ordering on line and picking up groceries at the curb although I know it's gotten quite popular around here. Or having it delivered. My neighbors next to me oder most of their groceries and have them delivered. I'm always afraid they'll pick out the fattiest meats if I were ordering meats. I always buy as lean as possible if picking out meats. But I doubt I'll order meats or other groceries like that. Going to the store gets me out and about and I get in some extra walking while there just because I tend to look to see if there's anything else I need or want that I didn't put on my list. But that's just me. You're doing great on your weight too. It's coming back down. I've forgotten if you've said, but do you have a weight goal in mind? My ultimate goal would be to get under 175 lbs., but for now I just want to get under 200 lbs. That will make me so happy to see. And I know it will for you and Teri as well.
