Sassy and I walked and I fixed her breakfast. I left for the gym. Morning exercise is more effective without eating first, since exercise without food starts with fat burning. Sassy and I walked, then I used the dreadmill at Planet Fitness, plus the weights. Walmart is on the way back, so I stopped in for groceries and more walking.
I bought -
- 4 packages of chopped, frozen spinach - a super food and 0 calories.
- 4 packages of frozen mushroom, 0 calories, anti-cancer, delicious.
- 4 cans of tomato paste, low in calories and low salt
- 4 cans of garbanzo beans, low salt, while the chick peas were rejected for high salt content, 4 times as much.
- A large bag of Crisp apples, not to be confused with over-rated and over-priced Honey Crisp apples.
- Unsalted butter and 1 loaf of whole wheat bread.
I was ready for lunch, so I fixed the ingredients in a two-quart pan, my usual daily:
- Chopped frozen spinach
- Frozen mushroom slices
- Sweet peas
- Sliced onions and green/red peppers
- Walnuts
- Blueberries
- One can of garbanzo beans, and on the side
- One enormous Crisp apple.
- Some pomegranate juice.
I enjoy the combination of foods and their nutritional value. Others are doing the same and getting good results.
The Norm - Sugar, Fake Sugar, Salt, Fat
This is the bad list, emphasizing sugar, salt, and fat, so I consume next to nothing from this list -
- Snack food, prepared meals
- Cookies
- Cheese
- Pizza
- McDonalds
- Desserts
- Soda Pop
- Fizzy water
- Coffee with cream or sugar
- Eggs
- Sucker powders with lots of protein
- "Fresh" food mixed together for a quick meal
- Alcoholic beverages
- Tobacco
People complain about high prices at the grocery store - for good reason. However, the total cost of the frugal and healthy foods is going up very little.
