Costco!

Well after years of just saying NO to Costco, I succumbed and bought a membership. It was peer pressure, I tell ya!!! (just kidding). Tom has long liked many of their products, and so have I through the Eagle Bargain Outlet. I've always been of the mind that I can do better shopping around, which on some things I can, but as for other products I can not. Like my yeast. A dollar cheaper than my best price. Great price on olive oil. And they carry Bob's Red Mill products too. So I'm pretty happy I decided to stop being resistant and joined the throngs who make the pilgrimage to Costco. Had the $1.50 polish dog dinner and it was delicious! We are still on the juice and I did Zumba this week. The weights kicked my butt, in a good way. Looking forward to next week! And vacation!!!

Weight Loss?

What weight loss? Got on the scale after Zumba and it appears I am back up where I started. What? Feel a little discouraged, but that doesn't mean give up...it means keep trying. We did some toning with weights tonight at Zumba. Must remember to bring weights next week. Wow,the rain is really coming down...welcome to Juneuary!

Keurig has changed my life...

Or coffee and juice...that's all I need! Bought a Keurig coffee maker on Friday and OMG, what a concept! The coffee and tea are exceptional and it's super easy. I got the adapter to use our own coffee, but as Tom said after I made him a mocha..."Why?" We did a major shopping trip because I was out of juicing material and bought some Copper River salmon for dinner. I cooked it on the Traeger with some fresh squeezed lemon, Muskegee seasoning from Penzey's (thanks Chief for knocking the bottle off the table and breaking the lid...Jerk!) and made an amazing salad with salad greens, watermelon, strawberries, dried cranberries, feta cheese, glazed walnuts with a drizzle of chocolate balsamic vinegar. Okay, maybe the coffee and juice proclamation was a little premature! Dinner was outstanding! Let's see how the scale feels about that on Wednesday. Today will be mostly juice (and coffee) and I think I ordered a salad for dinner tonight. No headache this morning unless you count Jo! Went to bed with an awful kink in my neck thanks to falling asleep in the recliner. Reading is the best Sandman!
