Morning all, if you haven’t read my 75k Ride for Heart recap click on over to yesterday’s post!
Yesterday’s question of the day was “how are you feeling today?”
Amazingly I was feeling pretty good yesterday. I had a doctor’s appointment at 9am for a post ride assessment. He was very impressed with my quick recovery. The doctor said it was a testament to how hard I had trained and worked at my physical therapy.
Let’s move on to some non bike riding topics for the first time in weeks 
Last night Brad had to join me on campus to go see the school lawyer. I had to get an affidavit saying that we are legally spouses (common law) to apply for OSAP. I then titled the trip “take your husband to school day.” I treated him to the finest food we had in the student centre – fried chicken. Brad said it was the dirtiest food he’d had in years. I got a vegetarian burrito, it was quite a bit less greasy.
After our trip to school we had to go grocery shopping, but I didn’t make a grocery list. I ALWAYS have a list. Brad decided that he was going to be in charge of the shopping.
No Frills was having their dollar sale. This distracted him, the man loves a deal. I was mostly silent during the entire trip. At one point he was holding a package of $1 hot dogs, turning them over and over in his hands. But he put them back (phew!)
It was funny to watch him stand in the aisles, so pensive.
We’ll have to see over the next few days if his grocery purchases will make themselves into full meals.
Do you grocery shop with a list or do you wing it when you get to the store?
I shop with a list. The problem is I don’t plan the list very well. I always end up in 10 different directions and often haven’t written down everything I would have needed for a meal. I thankfully now keep a list for the important stuff and I work in a mall with a grocery store, so I pick up the ‘missing’ ingredients whenever I need them. I will have to try and make it to No frills sometime in the next coiple days, love a good dollar days sale. So does Rollin, its when he is allowed to buy cookies for himself.
WOW! I am super impressed. I don’t know what my husband would bring home if I let him go without a list. HA
As much as I would love to wing it at the grocery store that would lead to a serious dent in my bank account. I do come prepared with recipes in mind to make for the week! However… At the farmer’s market I let loose
haha love that he put the hotdogs back!
You definitely captured the pensive look! lol
Sometimes I have list, other times I don’t. I usually know what I need
hahaha I love that Brad took his shopping trip so seriously.
I dont shop with a list, but I really should. There is no reason for me to spend $100 a week on groceries just for myself. It’s kind of outrageous.
And btw – I reread our facebook chat from the other morning. I’m so glad it was just you I was talking to. That was ridiculous.
Oh gawd I can’t imagine letting someone else buy my food. Especially the guy I’m dating. I go to his place and it’s all spoiled milk, Chef Boyardee cans on the floor (not opened don’t worry) and microwave meals. lol
I do meal planning and always have a list. I would be so lost without it. I usually start by looking at whats still in the fridge, then go through the grocery flyer to see whats on sale, then plan meals from there.
I also like to make my grocery list with the items in the order they appear in the grocery store, so we are in and out pretty quick
I generally have about half of a list when I go shopping. I really should improve on that because it still leaves me too open to last minute impulse shopping.
My wife and I shop together now as we help be the check and balance on each other. Our shopping trips are cheaper together than they tend to be separately.
that’s true … two heads are better than one where the budget is concerned
I AM SOOO LISTY MCGEE.
when I dont—I return home with everything but, say, toilet paper I went for
you shall be referred to as Listy McGee … change your twitter name ASAP hahaha
