Lost in the Supermarket

On the plan, the supermarket is a very different place. Most of the aisles are no-eat zones. Cookies & crackers - no. Cereal, bread & juice - no. All chips - no. Ice cream - no. It's like opting out of the industrial food system.

At the 'regular' grocery store, all we buy is paper goods and some vegetables. I haven't touched grocery store meat in years & I'm not starting now.

The Whole Foods is a little better. I somewhat trust the meat there, but still, half the store is off limits. The beer fridge mocks me every time I walk by.

As I've said before, lunch is a big PITA. This week I had two Chipotle bowls, two omelets and a salad. I have to find more lunch options. I have a feeling I'm going to be eating lunch at nicer places to get some variety. If anything is going to drive me off the diet, it's lunch.

Tomorrow it's cheat day, which includes working in the morning, a Cubs game with hotdogs and beer at noon and then some good unhealthy Mexican food for dinner.

I also suggest placing a bet on Master of Hounds in the Kentucky Derby. I like him & Nehro.
