Yesterday was good

I had a really good day yesterday. I think it's because I was running all over the place and didn't have time to think about junk food or boredom eating. I spent the majority of yesterday organizing and cleaning and dusting, something that's in the cards for today as well. I made a huge dent in the mess that is my craft room and three bags of junk later, it's a little less cluttered. After Paul got home we went on the hunt for some new jeans for him since he tore the right cuff completely off his last wearable pair. We found two pretty much brand new pair at a local thrift store and I found three new tops for myself. I love thrift store shopping SO MUCH. It only set us back $9.50!

We also did a little grocery shopping and I picked up a few things I've never tried. I got a Lean Cuisine roasted chicken and garlic pizza and it was amazing. I also tried a Smart Ones broccoli and cheddar potatoes yesterday...that one was mediocre. I've never bought a "diet" type microwave meal before in my life and figured they all would taste like crap lol. The pizza was great though. Jenn, I know you like the paninis, does anyone else have a favorite diet type tv dinner? It was super handy to toss the pizza in for dinner last night because by the end of the day I was exhausted. They're not something I'll eat regularly because I like to cook and usually have the time, but I'd like to stock up on a few for times like this when I'm on the run constantly and don't have the time or inclination to make a real meal.

I also picked up some whole wheat flour, "light" margarine and Altern (Walmart's brand of Splenda) so I can get to work on finding a good muffin/bread recipe. I'm also using the Altern in my coffee, which brings one of my giant sized cups of coffee from a nasty 340 calories to a modest 64. I bought a ridiculously expensive tin of stevia tablets over the weekend to try but they were terrible.



They're supposed to taste similar to sugar, only sweeter but all I know is that it tasted like ass. Cloyingly sweet aftertaste ass. I put two tablets in my coffee day before yesterday and when I tried it, it was strange. At first, it tasted like bitter coffee that I hadn't added any sweetener to. Then AFTER that taste came this really overpowering sweetness akin to Sweet & Low. I like my coffee and sugar and cream to meld into a creamy sweet caffeinated dream, not break up the flavor to the point of making me want to throw the entire cup out the window. So...despite my "raving" review...anyone like this stuff? Anyone want a 100 pack tin with three taken out of it? (Two for the coffee...one living under my stove)

But yeah...yesterday was nice. I under ate, but it probably made up for the chinese I ate the day before.
