My new grocery store!

I went to the grocery store today! I really do love to go grocery shopping, especially when I am by myself. But that does not happen often!

Anyway, I went to Aldi's today and found that they have tons of healthy food!

I spent more that I thought I would, but I bought a ton of stuff.

93% ground beef was $2.99
bag of gala apples $2. 59
red grapes $1.48
broccoli $1.29
cereal $1.49

They don't have a large section of fresh fruits and veggies but they had everything that I needed and wanted today. And you have to bag your own groceries and bring your own bags or you have to buy bags for 10 cents each or paperbags for 6 cents each. And don't forget your quarter so that you can borrow a cart. Don't worry, you do get your quarter back when you return your cart!


I am back on the wagon today! Whooo Hooooo! I know I keep writing about how I am going to lose weight! I am going to do it! I promise you! and myself. It is time!!!

all my clothes are black

(sorry about the puctuation today, i only have one hand, gracie is in the other hand and maddie is on my lap.)


iv'e been really bad about posting lately...i cant seem to get enough hours in the day....too many things happening! jacob is playing football, allie started girl scouts, both started school, working full time and taking care of these 4 kids has me very busy!

anyway, i was doing laundry the other day and realized that every one of my shirts was black. every single one! i am hiding behind this color... hiding my fat rolls, hiding my emotion...hiding who i am. i am so tired of hiding. i have noticed through the years that i have become more introverted...my husband says i am snobby....i am not snobby at all....i have become this way because i am embarrassed.....embarrassed of how big i am. ughhhh! it is not a good feeling. hopefully one day i will become who i want to be. i need to believe in myself again...so...with all that i have on my plate, i add another...finding myself.
