Last evening DD and I walked 3 miles. It was rough in the heat and I know I was going slow for her, but God bless her, she won't say a word. We had a nice time chatting and catching up.
I wish we had Whole Foods and Trader Joe's where I live; the closest ones are about an hour away. We do have a couple of grocery stores that carry organic items and I'm slowly starting to make the switch. It's hard to pay more money for organic but I keep reminding myself that it's well worth it. My DD is lucky that a member of her BF's family works at a mom and pop slaughterhouse/meat processing place that has been around forever and they give her alot of fresh, local, organic meets for free. (That sounds disgusting to say/think that someone works at a slaughterhouse, but where do we think the meat comes from?) Anyway, I recently discovered that our city has a food co-op that is actually a store, open 7 days a week (not just a farmer's market stand - although those are way cool) that sells local meat, produce, bulk foods, hard to find spices, organic and health foods and so on. I'm anxious to check it out and I hope they have a good selection with prices that won't hurt my wallet too much.
That's it for today. Make it a great day with no excuses.
Congrats for the 3 mile walk and weight loss! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope that the food co-op works out!!
I was just telling my husband how much more expensive it is to eat organic and natural. But, you're very right, it's well worth it. Congrats on the loss, keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started buying organic, my wife didn't approve. Now she sort of brags about it. The turn about is fun to listen to:) My daughter and I visit the local farmer's market all summer long.
ReplyDeleteLydia, I'd rather spend the money on organic, healthy food than prescriptions, co-pays, etc. :)
ReplyDeleteSunny, great job on the super hot walk, and good luck with the co-op!
