Day 9 Wacky Weather Grocery Shopping

The surprisingly cold weather continues. I refused to wear a jacket today, but I saw a lot of people who were bundled up. I just had to hold the line...it is afterall, the ninth of June, for Heaven's sake. I went to the grocery store after work...and upon exiting the store, met up face to face with a sleety, thick soup sort of rain...wind blowing, sky graying, wet soaking my hair, back and groceries as I loaded everything quickly into the car. I even had to pay attention to where I was walking in the parking lot because I almost turned an ankle. Yuck.

I looked at what I had purchased. There was some fruit. There were some vegetables. There was skim this and some low-fat that, however...the bulk of the food in my cart was carb-heavy. I had frozen pizzas, burritos, bagels, chips, chocolate...you get the picture. The man who rang up my groceries agreed with me (and that me feel better)...that it was not fruit and vegetable weather. We decided that it was starch weather...similar to the feel of the thick cornstarchy rain pounding on my back as I exited the store.

Headed to the chiropractor. On my way home, I saw a woman struggling with some profound muscular disorder...she had great difficulty walking and then I witnessed a man who was dwarf-like in stature...working at a local store. I thought about my temporary carb relapse...decided that I would make it work...hook or crook...one can always count calories...but that any complaining about the weather was out...simply out...back to basics. Eat better, keep moving...be thankful.
