Wow...What a week this has been. For the days we have been working out, we really have been pushing ourselves. I am especially proud of Erin. I on the other hand am disappointed in myself since I did not get a workout in today. But Erin pushed herself on the bike really hard and I am more than proud of her!!!!!!!
Tonight, we met with Rebecca at Hy-Vee for the big shopping day. The goal was to learn about healthy foods that we can get away with eating. I guess that takes the Chips Ahoy Cookies off the list. But there were a lot of things that we were able to learn. We got a lot of new foods that we have never even considered using. For example, we bought a Jicama. I'm sure that some of you are asking what the heck that is. It's ok, I am too. But she described it as if a potato and a pear had a baby, this is what you would get. I guess I'm up for trying something new. But then the odd event happened.
She put an Avocado in the cart and said this is an awesome thing. Did she really put that in the cart? What the heck heck are we going to do with that? I know there are recipes for guacamole, but I'm not crazy about that to begin with.
While we were there, we ran into Katie and Rachel, two of the other people that are also involved with this 5 week program. They were on the search for Larabars, which I am totally addicted to. Good thing they are on sale with now. It's really cool to see some of the other participants of the event. They both cam up to us and said , "Hey, didn't we see you in the paper?"
That reminds me. If you haven't thrown out todays Des Moines Register, there is a big article in the Iowa Life section of the front page. Check it out.
But in the end, after 3 hours and 45 minutes of shopping and over $214 dollars later, we are home and read for bed.
Tomorrow will be a new day, and I am looking forward to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Working to Stay Healthy
Brad and Erin
