wednesday afternoon.....food

i have been pondering how life is changing for me in good ways but even when things are good i do not do great with change. i think that i mentioned that some people were here a few weeks ago and did lots of things for my place...still needs painted and the tub fixed but from the way it was to today is a total change.....a new stove and oven...a new bed.... carpet up.....some of the furniture gone.....all needed and good things yet it is a change. it is a change that i have really done well at keeping up with the picking up things and doing the small chores that i can do. i have even twice did some mopping with one hand on the mop and the other one holding my cane. it is not greaet but it does get some of it cleaned. the other change is that i have been going to bed earlier and getting up earlier so the whole schedule change...another good one has me trying to decide what to do when etc....today this morning i mopped as i said...made some phone calls that needed to be made...read the bible and spent some time in prayer and singing....made my list for the grocery and left it at home......
mom and i got together and ate fish sandwiches from mcdonalds and cones from the dq...quite a yummy lunch! i then went to krogers for the pop sale and it was $11.00 for five yes five cartons of pop and it could be coke or pepsi products...one had to buy five to get the deal....with that deal i ended up saving $14.50! we then went to aldis and then to trader joes...i got many good deals and some rather yummy looking things. it is amazing the great deals that one gets at trader joes and how friendly and helpful all the people are who work there. i think that i am stocked up for awhile now for which i am grateful. i like doing a day of shopping even though i kind of pay for it with my leg pain but to get lots of things and know that it will be weeks till i need to shop again except for milk and some perishables.
i got this suppliment that can be used like as a meal replacment or drink just like 3 ounces of it with water or milk before a meal to help not overeat...it is full of vitamins and things that are good for us...i think that i am going to try to drink it for breakfast and start out drinking it one time a day. a man who lives at the same apartment building uses it and is diabetic and it has helped him lose weight and to keep his sugar alright so that is another reason i wanted to try it. i am not a big milk drinker at all but i can handle 3 ounces of milk with this. i also liked it because even though it is $11.00 it is much less than some of the other ones i have seen plus it has some ideas of like drinking it as a meal....drinking it as a snack....drinking it like a half hour before you eat and such. my mom was kind to buy it for me since i only had my ebt card and it is not covered by it. it is a large can so i am sure it will do me awhile and then later on this month when i get my check and if i like it i think that i will stock up on it when i shop later on.
this week has been the week about food. i think except when it comes to ice cream i am doing much better....not binging which is a huge thing for me not to be doing...actually kind of funny that going over with nan what i have been eating and she said that i need to eat more during the day and not be eating so much ice cream. i am making some goals for myself for july

1. drink more water 2. eat less ice cream
3 drink pop without caffaine most of the time and if drink other make sure that they are dietl

anyone want to share about his or hers ups and downs of food?
