Yesterday (before I saw your post, so I was really excited to read it) I went to Walmart early and bought the WW Progresso soups to eat for lunch each day. I ate the whole can but it still only ending up being like 1 point, and with the 1/2 cup of mandarin oranges I ate it came out to 3 points for the whole meal and I was stuffed. Then last night I ran thru McD’s because I had class and needed a quick dinner and they were out of salads! I wanted to cry! I was so proud of myself for doing so good and then I got foiled by the golden arches. I didn’t have time to go to Wendy’s or somewhere else before class. I ended up getting a cheeseburger and a med fry (better than a Qtr Pounder and super-size fries, but still). It was very discouraging. But I’m back today with my soup and oranges ready for lunch.

Here’s my problem with fresh produce and veggies. There are some days that I am gone all day long (Tues & Wed) and don’t get home till after 10 each night. I try to do my grocery shopping on Mondays, which means by the time I’m actually home to each the fruit/veggies they’ve already been sitting for 2 days. The veggies are easier b/c I usually buy frozen and cook 2 different veggies at dinner along with a grain. But I need some fruits that either freeze well or hearty fruits that can stay in the fridge for more than 4-5 days. And yes, I’ve tried the green bags and they do help some but I still end up throwing out a lot of fresh produce. I need some “Hefty” fruit. :) I’m on a pineapple kick right now because they are $2 at Sam’s and they last forever uncut if you put them in the fridge. But I know that season is going to be over soon (if not already) so I’m up for suggestions!

On another note, I’m almost done with Total Money Makeover and really excited to post about it. When should I plan for that? Next Tues?
