Groceries & Other Saturday Fun

Day 6 - 34.2 pounds to go (down 5.6)

I'm still reading the book, but have a bit more insight into the types of things I can eat, so after a 75 minute workout with Michael this morning, I spent almost an hour looking for things in the Metropolitan Market I've never payed any attention to whatsoever.

$112 later, here's what I carried out:
  • Organic veggies (green cabbage, white onion, carrots, yellow and orange peppers, avacado, yams)
  • Organic fruit (apples, peaches)
  • Bagels (gluten-free, vegan)
  • Giant tub of brown rice
  • Brown Rice Flower
  • Organic Olive Oil
  • Sweet Potato Chips (gluten free, vegan)
  • Rice Noodle Soup Bowls (hot n' sour and vegetable)
  • Canned mushrooms
  • Canned hearts of palm
  • Fresh salsa
  • Erin's All Natural Low-Saturated Fat, Low-Salt popcorn
  • Organic Mochi Sweet Rice Cakes
  • Organ, vegan, gluten-free chocolate chip cookie (Flying Apron makes them)
  • Hummus in two different varieties
  • Rice Dream Mint Pie (non-dairy, rice-based, oatmeal cookies dipped in chocolate)
Oh, and 4 boxes of Frosty Paws for Georgia, who is in no way observing this crazy-ass meal plan I'm on.

In the meantime, today's meals:

Breakfast:  1 cup of brown rice, 1/8 cup hummus, two vegetable sausage patties, and some grapes
Lunch:  Brown rice and reheated sweet potatoes... and probably one of these yummy chocolate treats
Dinner... I'm thinking of putting together a crock pot full of veggies and making a stew. 

Yummy stuff!  :-)

So a bit of an update... I have now tried the Flying Apron gluten-free, vegan, organic chocolate chip cookie... and I did NOT care for it.  I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's entirely too sweet.  I ate MAYBE 1/8 of the cookie, and will not be finishing it.  Is it wrong that it makes me happy when I find something I really don't care for?  I now know that tofu and chococate chip cookies will not make it back onto the grocery list.
