FOOD!

Whew, was yesterday crazy! I started a new part-time job (which is actually going to be full-time in terms of hours) and by the time I got home and grocery shopped at two stores I was so tired. But that didn't stop me from getting in a run!

After a day of too many sugars, simple carbs and stress I needed a run to redeem to the day. From the moment my Asics first hit the pavement all my worries pounded away. I normally run 4 minutes and walk 1. Last night I ran 4 miles in 38 minutes in the dark and it was amazing. That run left me energized and feeling good. Ahh, running...
I had more oats with Stevia in the Raw and soy milk and then grapes before heading to work. I am going to spare you the rest of the days eats since they were basically just Zbars, nuts, vegan donuts and cereal. Ugh! I'm getting tons of veggies in today!!
In order to finally restock the kitchen I headed to Costco.
There I found these Peeled Dired Fruit Snacks. The only ingredients are essentially dates, aprictots and figs. The best part was that this bag was only $2.97!
Yum :)
I needed a few more things after Costco so I decided to give Aldi a try. What a different store! You had to pay to use a cart, everything was in boxes, the selection was small and weird, all products were brands I'd never heard of... very interesting! I ended up buying $5 worth of frozen veggies, crackers and onion. I wouldn't go back to Aldi.
My Costco loot:
Cinnamon, soy ginger dressing, Peeled fruit, frozen organic broc, pink lady apples...
...fresh (yummy!) asparagus, a salad mix (David uses)...
...whole grain bread, edamame, Flat Out wraps, frozen strawberries
...fresh strawberries, spinach...
...OJ and soy milk...
..and David's items: waffles, syrup, milk and cheese.

Looking over our groceries I have to admit I'm pretty impressed. We have tons of fruits, veggies and whole grains. Other than the last few items everything is vegan. Everything is vegetarian and it's organic when possible. I love to know I'm feeding David and myself with good fuel :)
I have to include this car I saw on the way home from Costco. Notice the stickers saying " EARN REPECT...BE PROUD...SPEAK...IN PUBLIC." The license plate says "ENG ONLY" and there's an NRA sticker in the back windshield. Hah!

Happy weekend, everyone!
