Halfway through WWDOW and I finally did the groceries.
In the old days, the HCW™ would give me a list of what to buy and ordered in such a way that it followed the aisles in the store. That way I couldn't make any mistakes. (I didn't have that to fall back on this time around, as she has been doing the groceries ever since we got to Montreal.) So this time around, I just winged it. I figured—correctly I believe—that if it can go in a microwave, it must be good for me. That strategy paid off in spades. I was able to buy a whole bunch of microwaveable pizza, with a nod to health with microwaveable chicken breasts stuffed with cheese and ham. With just enough money left over to buy a spanking new 2L bottle of Pepsi. And I didn't buy any junk food (cuz we still have some left at home...) Yahoo!
But seriously, I also bought a nice baguette and two small wheels (OKA and Les Coutances) of cheese to go with it. HCW™ would approve. Since it's a weeknight, I left out the bottle of Shiraz wine to round the whole thing off. Might do that on Friday. ;)
All in all, I'm pretty proud of myself. And on top of that, I got to the gym for the first time in almost 2 weeks. That felt good and will definitely help me get through the next few weeks. My only other challenge is dealing with the backlog of magazines that keep showing up on my door. Ouch. Not enough hours in a day.
