Zip & Steam

Okay... this is going to be hard. We both were VERY sore today. We really had to encourage each other to work through the pain.

On a different note, we got lots of fresh produce at the store today and I used the "Zip & Steam" bag for the first time. It steamed the veggies perfectly. We had squash, zucchini, carrots and mushrooms with a bit of butter and some Mrs. Dash. They were quite tasty and easy to make.

We did our grocery shopping today, checking for calorie counts and serving sizes. To help our budget plan, we shopped at Aldi and got many of their "Fit & Active" items. I also give props to Tom for agreeing to skim milk. We've always drank 1%, so it isn't a big change, but tough for him. We did well at Sam's and just purchased our meat, salad mix, and a couple of household items. We filled our cupboards, refrigerator, and freezer (all were pretty bare before shopping) for about $260. Our plan is to hopefully only spend $140 for the rest of the month on food and not eat out.
