Kevin and I have always done our grocery shopping on Friday evenings. This is almost like our date night. We spend time strolling and shopping and talking. It may sound crazy but I really look forward to my Friday evenings together.
On May 27, it was the first day of our new eating program, The Plant Paradox, and what a life-changing program. I am officially down 15 lbs and I am not sure what Kevin is down. He will not weigh himself. I decided to step on the scale. I used to have a severe addiction to weighing myself and would step on it several times a day. Morning, after the bathroom, naked, clothed, I did it all, all the time. I lived for the scale to move. This time around, I vowed not to step on the scale as often. I do want to use it as an external monitor.
To plan for my grocery list this week, I went through three cookbooks as this is brand new to me. It is like learning a new language. I have to follow recipes and use exact ingredients as I do not have the confidence in experimenting on my own. Perhaps in time. For now, I do not.
This is the end of the third week. So far, we have saved money being on this program. This week, we had to top up some of our essential supplies, such as coconut milk, almond flour, coconut flour, eggs, mint, frozen avocado, spinach, romaine lettuce, and lemons. The rest of the groceries are fresh, homegrown, if possible, veggies.
Our grocery bill breakdown was:
- Week #1 - Grocery total - $96
- Week #2 - Grocery total - $153
- Week #3 - Grocery total - $256
So far, we are saving money, plus losing weight, WIN-WIN!
Until tomorrow!
