Food, Glorious Food
Got up on time for my Italian class. I'm trying to explain to Zara that it's a little disconcerting to have a cat on your shoulders while you're eating, but she doesn't care. Mimi is a little put out that I'm not taking a nap right now. (Soon, Mimi.)
I looked on Walmart's app for a garlic press, and they appear to have them in the store. Good deal. There are Rosemary Meatballs with Yogurt Sauce in my future. (It calls for crushed garlic.)
I had my Italian class. The teacher was a little late and a little disorganized, but he does emphasize conversation. And I can't beat the price (4 Euros per one hour lesson). There are five people in the class, so we all have time to practice.
Started soaking a litter box and lay down for a nap. Mimi is now mollified.
Had a nice nap. My Italian teacher has sent the materials from the class so that I can study them.
Found some more low-carb recipes on an app. This person has more similar tastes to me, except for loving bacon.
Shopped until I dropped, including three reams of printer paper and 12 legal pads. That should hold me for a little while. I also scoped out low-carb possibilities at Aldi and Walmart. Aldi had two low-carb loaves of bread (and they really were low carb), so I snatched them. They also have wraps. They have a cheaper meat, fish, and seafood selection, which I knew. Walmart wins for the variety of seafood, including frozen stuff. They have small shrimp, which I like. Walmart had riced cauliflower. It also had celery and spinach dip, which probably will be a go-to snack. And it had almond flour, coconut flour, even cashew flour. Between the two stores, I should be set.
When I got home, the cats were like, "Mom, aren't you forgetting something IMPORTANT?" I fed them after I got the groceries in. I want to sit for a moment, put the groceries away, put the garbage out, and make something to eat. I found some Hormel chicken dinners at Walmart that sound good. I also got a deep-dish pizza at Aldi :) I'm going to carb my way out in style.
DietDoctor.com has some great Keto ideas. They had a list of "what to make when you don't feel like cooking," and smoked salmon and avocado sounds yummy.
Oh crud. Winter weather advisory that includes ice.
I'm thinking of rewards for losing weight. When I lose 25 pounds, I'll get a massage? When I lose 50 pounds, I'll get my hair professionally colored. 90 pounds, and I go to Hawaii.
I'm feeling physically exhausted, so now I'll do homework.
