Yesterday my hubby went to the grocery store. He has been our usual grocery shopper for about the last three years. After I switched to a healthier lifestyle, he was not happy with my shopping. So he goes in order to get the things he wants, but has done a pretty good job of getting me the things I need to eat healthy.

Yesterday, though, he got carried away. He bought two packages of double stuff Oreos, two packages of Berry Newton cookies, two packages of Eskimo pies, a half gallon of Blue Bonnet Banana Pudding ice cream and triple berry ice cream as well as sugar free vanilla which I did not want nor ask for, 6 or maybe it is 8 packages of Hershey's Bliss dark chocolate, a cherry pie, a peach pie, Milano cookies, peanut butter cracker package, two kinds of cheese filled crackers, one "fudge" filled crackers, two boxes of Cheez-It crackers, honey nut Cheerios as well as regular. We already had Milano cookies and Pop Tarts (that I despise) in our house. And I know there is other junk food here, too. He even bought already made mashed potatoes instead of our usual fresh potatoes. He got bacon and sausage. Sheeesh!! He always has some junk, but this is ridiculous. I am trying to teach the kids to eat healthy, but this is a challenge for them and me, too!

On the positive side, he bought red raspberries, blackberries, a fresh pineapple, a crate of clementine tangerines, navel oranges, bananas, golden delicious apples, sugar free applesauce, and canned peaches and pears in extra light syrup ( I'd rather have juice pack, but okay.) He got lean meats and fish. I have fat free milk on hand. He bought fresh broccoli, green peppers, green beans, lettuce, and carrots. We have tomatoes and lots of canned and frozen healthy veggies.

Yesterday I baked the cherry pie and half of it was eaten by hubby, daughter, and son in law. The kids chose to have Oreos - two for Natalie and one for Gwen. I stayed away from everything in the second paragraph above except one 40 calorie Hershey's Bliss. This is a victory. I now have 3 good days in a row of sticking to my food plan. Yesterday hubby had me fix cheeseburgers on onion rolls and french fries for him, daughter, and son in law. I had a boca burger on a 100% whole wheat sandwich thin. No fries.

Despite the minefield of my kitchen, I intend to see that middle two on the scale again soon!! (131.0 this morn)
