Gotta love the honeymoon phase...I'm still feeling good, motivated, no problems, no real issues yet.....tomorrow will be a week since I started.

Did my usual Wednesday grocery shopping....I had eaten right before I left and normally would have driven through McD's for a $1 drink...and most of the time a $1 grilled onion cheeseburger "snack"....but made myself a drink here at home first....first errand was 99 cent store, said hello to the Rocky Road candy bars and Cup of Gold candy bars, they are fine without being in my basket!! Scored great veges/salad stuff, etc....then across the street to Vons...got Panda Express to bring home and reheat later and learned their fried rice is now made with brown rice....wonderful for Phase Two!!....bot for today, stuck with chicken and veges....

Next stop was Sprouts where I said hello to the Scotchmallows and California Brittle at Sees which is literally next door to Sprouts. The strawberries and blueberries looked WONDERFUL at Sprouts and are on sale this week...but they will look as good and taste even better next week when I go on phase two..so the berries were the only real temptation there.

On the way home, I drove past Wendy's and in the past would have driven through for a Crispy Chicken Caesar wrap and their wonderful salty crispy fries.....but stuck to the plan. I wasn't hungry and knew I could eat something when I got home. After I put groceries away, I still wasn't totally hungry so just had s bowl of cucumber salad with mozzarella,....so, I have proven it's possible to do my weekly errands without eating junk or sugar....yeah!!

I measured the food from Panda Express before putting it in the fridge....the side dish half of the container holds 2 cups...and each of the entree pockets hold about a cup...good to know. In the future, I could get half fried (brown) rice and half veges in the side dish half.....the veges look great, cabbage, broccoli, carrots and onions, which they wokked  while I waited so nice and fresh and crispy...don't think they even put any sauce on it but if so, just a little soy sauce....Hard to feel deprived when I can get such a great Chinese food meal for only about $6......
