Purchasing "small dishes"
Aug 21, 2011
Busy as ever! Price shoping for those items listed: Small bowls, small plates, baby spoons, small forks, protein shaker cups, and sport bottles (without straw) and small storage containers. I didn't want to spend a whole lof the money on the dishes I would be using so I hit every thrift store withing the southenr DC metro area and I was able to purchase everything under $20.00. My biggest expense is the protein powder and protein drinks ( I didn't realize that protein suppliments were so expensive) The only other items that I need to purchase are vitamins. I found that most of the vitamins I need can be purchased really cheap at Wal-mart and the Vitamin Shoppe in Laplatta. The guys at the vitamin shoppe have been really helpful--they tell when to purchase things on sale and what NOT to buy.I have an appointment with my primary care giver this Monday (more tests!). I thought that once I was approved through my insurance --I would have no more tests to go through, boy was I wrong! But these are just a few x-rays and blood tests needed for the surgery.
Todays my daughters birthday (Jocelynn is 22 years old today).. She's such a sweet heart -- she decided that she wasn't going to celebrate her birthday with cake and icecream this year in order to be supportive of my efforts to lose wieght. That's so awesome! I also know that her friends are going to make her a cake this wednesday so that she can still enjoy her birthday, without forcing me to make one (not ready to do that yet--I still have sweet cravings). I'm just so happy that I have her and my husband for support--they are so good to me.
I took my finals in biology and trigonometry yesterday -- I know I did pretty well on the biology exam, but I'm not so certain that I passed the trigonometry exam. I'm not too worried over it -- "you do your best and keep moving forward".
Well, that's all I have for today -- Until the next time :::
