ChrisSpark's Journal, 10 August 2014

While I have mostly been enjoying this diet adventure and trying lots of new vegetable recipes, etc. I'm not real sure about today's adventure: kale, apple, walnut salad with avocado dressing. Definitely a different texture and taste. I started out no liking it but it grew on me.
Having some trouble staying motivated to keep my calories down. I am still staying pretty well on track with the food selection. In fact, it's been so long since I had chips or coke, I hardly remember the taste. I find that I get to eat a lot more food for the same number of calories as the old "junk food, fast food diet". Today it was a shock to realize I didn't even want to finish my dinner.
I might have to invest in a small apartment-size chest freezer with all the fruits and veggies I've been freezing for smoothies, etc. Has anyone tried one of those "produce delivery" services? Someone mentioned that they were available in our area and it would sure solve the problem of getting fresh, local produce. The only grocery store I can walk to have very questionable produce sometimes, and you have to make sure to go on Tuesday or Wednesday to get anything fresh.
Have been breaking in my new Etonic Trans-Am sneakers for walking and thank goodness they are comfortable. My feet still hurt, but not as badly. I have orthotics from several years ago, but they don't seem to help as they did. Strangely, even swimming aggravates the pain in my feet, so still not sure about what the source is. Just hoping weight loss will help some of these things get better.
Hope all of you had a lovely weekend.

we get delivery from peapod. the produce is usually good. i love it. i can see it would be great for you since you have to walk to the grocery store. i feel like i always save money because i am not buying anything on impulse. when i actually go to the grocery store, i pick up way more than i need. glad the shoes are working out for you. it's weird about the swimming.

Thanks Gnewfry. Yes, I was happy to hear there was a produce delivery. Hopefully they will offer a small enough package for a single person..
