as I prepare to be UPGRADED at work…

[bluecastle]

…I am sitting here with my very healthy breakfast … and apple (a Braeburn if that means anything to anyone), some cheddar cheese, and some walnuts. Also I am drinking iced tea instead of my usual morning soda. This is the big change.

Took myself on a little adventure last night to the big, gourmet grocery store. Took me two hours (well, 40 minutes of that was the commute there and back) as I am trying to eat better, and my sad little local grocery store was not going to have the stuff on this week’s raft of recipes… like organic chicken sausage …

Trying to eat more healthily. Of course this is easy to do at the beginning of the month when my bank account is flush. By the end of the month, I’ll be back to canned soup and bologna sandwiches, no doubt!

(whee, that is a TART apple! I’m just saying…)

I had the most fun in the “International Corner” though … most of it in the UK section, where I treated myself to a packet of Chocolate coated Hob Nobs. I feel so British now! LOL.

Left the Jaffa Cakes and the actual bars of Dairy Milk for other trips.

Also, in a sign of growth (LOL!!) the sight of all those cans of HEINZ baked beans just made me laugh. Some months ago, I would have been weeping. (Am also very dubious over those curry flavored beans.)

So onward and upward with the self improvement. Eating better. Am losing a tiny bit of weight.

And I have written 3,357 so far during NaNoWriMo.

So Yeah. Just sitting here on a rock, taking a break from that uphill climb, you know?!

Really want a Hobnob now. And Jaffa cakes. However, I do have the Dairy Milk. Yay for Britain. :D

Good luck with the self improvement. I salute you just for starting. :D

there was also something called a PENGUIN. ??? There is so much to explore :D

[cookiesofkarma.livejournal.com]

Ah, Penguins! :D You have much to learn my friend. Although, I do only get Penguins for the jokes. XD

I prefer Royal Gala to Braeburn - the Braeburns have just a little too much crispness for me, it feels odd to bite into them.

yeah. it was pretty crisp and pretty tart. but now I have three more of them to eat :0) I love a good Gala as well.
