Foolish Day

Happy April Fools Day! Did you get fooled or did you fool anyone?

I got FOOLED by my gyno’s computer system.

I wasted my time coming for today’s appointment, ONLY to find out that it’s not the right time. Apparently the computer system alerted me last week that I need to reschedule my appointment. So I called in and did it. Little did I know that I wasn’t supposed to reschedule EARLIER than the original date. DOH~

Oh well….that kinda upsetting me in some ways.

To mend my frustration To stick on my schedule, I went to Henry’s Market to stash up some groceries.

97 cents for each avocado – NICE
2 for $5 for blueberries (6 oz container) – not bad, kinda craving for it..and they’re organic as well
Grass fed ground beef ($6.99/lbs) – alrite

And I scored BIG on this pineapple – 97 CENTS EACH! BIG ONE!

Got this butternut squash for 77 cents/lbs and it’s even bigger than my head!

Apparently, the April Fools still didn’t want to leave me alone but this time I didn’t fall for it. I saw the yams were on sale for 88 cents/lbs, but at the cashier, I noticed I was charged 99 cents/lbs instead. Good thing I caught it and the cashier mentioned that was the sale sign from Wednesday and apparently they forgot to take it down. But in the end, they still gave me 88 cents/lbs.

The lady behind me said how nice the cashier to still honor me that price. I was biting my tongue not to tell her to start paying more attention to her prices.

Now I don’t feel so bad for snacking on the banana chips while I was roaming around in the store!

Yup, I took a whole bag, then munching on them while shopping – cheating much ?-cause technically I HAVEN’T PAID for those while still in the market, right?

Got home, and I did a second workout of the day! This is NOT A JOKE. I usually just did one workout per day and be done. But since yesterday I skipped, I did yesterday’s workout this morning. Now I’m back on track on the schedule. This always makes me feel good

And since I was snacking way too much banana chips, I didn’t get to eat dinner until almost 9pm.

Although I wasn’t quite hungry but I couldn’t resist to consume almost 1/4 of the One Ingredient Steamed Whole Chicken.

So there you go, that’s my day on April Fools Day. One thing I’m proud of is that I caught that price mistake right in front of me. I don’t mean to be bragging (or maybe I am already) but I ALWAYS KNOW when the cashier didn’t punch in the right price. I can remember how much every single item in my cart cost. I might not remember it on top of my head (or actually maybe I do) but when I see it on the screen, I will know exactly if the price doesn’t match with the sign. Call me a grocery nerd, but after being almost scammed three to four times in the past, I suddenly developed a super brain for memorizing grocery charges. Ha!

So start paying more attention to your receipts! It won’t hurt, I promise!

Have a great weekend!

 

Lack of Energy

Hi all, how’s your Saturday going so far?

I’ve been feeling SUPER LAZY today, though this morning I managed to squeeze in my workout that supposedly for yesterday.

Fueled myself with leftover Costco chicken

Consequences for not eating proper post workout meal (starchy carbs like yams & sweet potatoes): I felt SUPER SLUGGISH, lack of energy, fatigue later on! It wasn’t fun feeling.

So after got home from grocery and other errands, I popped all yams that I got at the store in the oven and nuked one to be consumed right away!
Now I don’t have to worry about tomorrow’s post workout meal anymore.

Got mandarin oranges for $2.99 for 3lbs bag – SCORE! I LOVE THESE THINGS!

I decided not to go with K to his parent’s house for dinner today. Instead I drove myself to check out Sprouts Market Henry’s Farmers Market.

My goodies

Strawberries for 97 cents/box -got 4 so total $4 for 4 lbs -SCORE! Taste wise: kinda bland -unlike the one I got from Farmer’s Market last week (super sweet but it was a whole big box for $11 – I guess it was equivalent of 4 lbs?) Oh well I got what I paid for, right? At least Fage Full fat greek yogurt was $3.79 – MUCH cheaper than Albertsons or Whole Paycheck ($4.99)

More goodies: found pastured raised 100% natural grass fed beef, Applegate bacon and Henry’s brand no preservative sausages! -(gotta keep these for my quick to serve protein!)

Since I already used up our joint account grocery budget this morning for getting grain-fed beef from regular market, I opted to get small pieces of grass fed beef. Now I know I can get grass fed beef from around where I live!

I found my kryptonites

100% dried mango -no added sugar

unsweetened banana chips! I munched LOTS of these in the store

I ate a bit too much banana chips that now I’m feeling kinda sick of it. The dried mangoes were a bit too sweet for me so I couldn’t eat it too much, which was good.

Anyway, I LOVE Henry’s Farmers Market. It’s very very similar to Sprouts Market (very homey, with bulk bins of nuts, dried fruits etc) and the best thing is? It’s much closer to where I live compared to Sprouts. Now I know where to shop for grass fed beef and other organic stuff. Woot!

Something I want to talk about:
I was browsing through my old posts and read what I wrote in the past and seems like I’ve never really had a consistent topic. Some posts I might write about food of the day, some about recipes, some just random stuff like my life etc. Sometimes I wonder, if by having a non-defined blog topic actually a turn off for new readers. Some big bloggers that I’ve seen usually always have one consistent topic in their posts – either being vegetarian/vegans/primal/paleo, informative/education, restaurant reviews, recipes etc. Even this morning, K mentioned that I’m not being consistent. One day I’d be doing certain stuff and the next day my thought would change to something else. – scattered brain?

I’m sorry if I’m not making any sense, but it starts to bugging me a bit and how would I want to continue with this blog.

Have a great night!
