Minor milestone with family
Yesterday was terribly busy. I was tired and it was 5:00 PM, we were
leaving the gym after my one son's trainer session and other son's and my cardio and core work. The huge grocery near the gym was out of skim milk. I was faced with another trip to another store and having to feed the kids, get cleaned up and to a Back to School night in one hour. We passed a Wendy's and a McDonald's leaving the gym parking lot. I thought it would be so easy to just do the fast food thing, plop the bags on the table, with a token motherly touch of getting out plates, and getting ready to go to this school thing. However, I thought that I must stick to my guns and not do the fast food so soon after announcing to them "The Change In Eating Habits". Sigh...so we rushed home and somehow I managed to feed them something healthier than fast food and get to the meeting without smelling too badly ( on time yet, always an achievement for me). Once I could breath normally again, I felt very satisfied with the whole thing. Elise |

WTG Elsie! I know how tempting it can be to do the fast food when you're
pressed for time. Beverly - who ate at Wendy's last night G But I had a chicken mandarin salad with 1T of that dressing. "Cox SMTP east" wrote in message .. . Yesterday was terribly busy.

The reason I ask is, we actually find better prices on milk in those stores. If all we need is milk, we'll run up to the local mobile station and grab a gallon of skim. Its about 20cents cheaper than in the grocery. And you don't have to wait in checkout lines, go to the back of the store, etc and so on. You are in and out in under a min. Just a thought for future reference. As for meals at home - I always try to keep fresh salad fixings available, and we almost always have leftover grilled chickne or some sort of deli meat. If I'm in a pinch for time, dinner will be a chef salad or chicken salad. |
