I Took Myself Grocery Shopping!

Now that's something I haven't said in a couple of years, cause I couldn't I wouldn't be able to stand up long enough to walk through the store. Well, Valerie's post last night on the Shopping List got me thinking. My sister usually does the grocery shopping for the house and I put a few things on the list every week but she is always in such a hurry she doesn't have the time to look for things for me. So today, after PT I went to the store. Let me tell you what I found Low fat, low carb torilla's - Garlilc and Herb Flavor. I have really missed breat ALOT!!! I heard this advertised on TV and found it at my locat store. It only has 50 calories in the small one, 2Grams of fat, 11 grams of carbs 8 grams of fiber and even 5 grams of protein. I had one for lunch with 1/2C of Chicken, Almond Grape salad and it was real YUMMY I also found Laughing Cow cheese (which my sister couldn't find) And several lowfat cheeses, montery jack, pepper jack and swiss I have been so bored with what I'm eating I just needed some new things to add to the mix. Oh yeah I also bought some Hummas. Good stuff made with chick peas/garbanzo beans. Spead 2 tbs on the tortilla and sprinkle with a little cheese - Yummy Well that was my morning folks. Hope you all have a good rest of the day Sending hugs, Ronna

Enjoy your lunch Ronna!!! Looking at your post made me remember that it's time for lunch for me.... Have a great day Love you a lot Alex

How exciting Ronna to be able to get through the grocery store and pick special things out for yourself! I'll have to check out those tortillas as they sound healthy and good. Karen S.

Congrats Ronna. I totally understand how you feel. I use to send steph. to the store becasue I couldn't stand or walk long. Little things that people take for granted everyday, is really a big deal to us. Your lunch sounds delicious! kay

Ronna, Congratulations on your milestone. I'm so happy you got to go grocery shopping. I know exactly what you mean. When I was first able to go to the grocery store I was sooo surprised by everything. I hadn't been in one for about 2 years. Hubby always did the shopping. Watch out now--I can find so many good things. What exactly is hummas? I've seen it in the store, but never knew what it was. I've never tried chick peas so I'm not sure if I would like it. How do you eat it? Is it a side dish? Kathy

Hummas is kind of a dip/spread. You can dip veges into it but I plan to spread it on my new tortillas that I found and make a roll up.

Congrats Ronna! The rest of your life will be full of great experiences and adventures! I know that you will never take the little things for granted. PS.You need to get some falafel to eat with that hummus.It's full of protein!

YAY Ronna!!! It seems like everyday you are making leaps and bounds in the direction of ideal health. Way to go!! Dawn

WooHoo, Look at you... Ms. Independant!!! You Go, Ronna!!! Congratulations on a great milestone! Keep up the great work!!!
