You're Gonna Lose That Weight: Grocery Shopping and Garage Sales

Since my shins hurt me so bad last time I jogged, I decided to take it easy today. I did some very light jogging and didn't always do the full 90 seconds if it hurt (each jog was between 60-90 seconds though). I really wanted to jog faster and get sweaty and worn out, but I can't do that until the shin splints stop.

Today's stats:

3,989 aerobic steps
34 minutes
1.75 miles

After working out, I went shopping to return a few items and get groceries for the next few days. I was supposed to go shopping with my friend Christine, but it was too hot for her. Now that I'm eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, it seems like I might have to shop twice a week. I've noticed if I buy for a full week, things start to go bad before I can use them.

At Meijers I found these weekly menu planning boards for only $2.99 a piece. I bought two of them- one for meals and one for snacks. I'm going to hang them in the kitchen and write down what I eat as I eat it. I might also take pictures of it at the end of the week for records.

On the way home from grocery shopping, I found a garage sale. I looked around and found two new (literally new and in the packaging) bath mats and a really tacky lamp. The tacky lamp is going to be another one of my easy DIY projects. The lamp shade is actually made of hard molded plastic! I'll probably buy a new lamp shade instead of making one, but find something musical and/or peace sign to put inside the body of the lamp. Then I can put it in my office at work.

I also finished spray painting my picture frames for the great room. Since it is supposed to be 100 degrees tomorrow, it might be nice to stay inside and find pictures to put in the frames to finish it completely up.
