teehee! (that’s probably only funny to me I’m sure, but I’m okay with that) More on that in a minute.
I don’t really have any fun food pics today, just lots of rambling!
So the Harley Monster got fixed the other day (her womanhood was stolen from her, poor baby!) but she has been licking and pulling at the stitches so she gets to wear an awesome plastic cone/collar thingie. She does NOT like this! She acts like a maniac when you put it on her. First she’ll just stand there with her head down on the floor like an ostrich. Then if you try to move her or anything while she is wearing it she jumps around like a bucking bronco. And then she looks at you with the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen in my life and she acts like she’s so depressed that you just end up taking it off of her. If it wasn’t so sad it would be hilarious! So I’ve been home with her most of the day instead of running my usual Saturday errands, I was too afraid to leave her for very long with the collar on for fear she might get caught on something and choke. I know I’m paranoid but better safe than sorry!
So instead of running into Fort Worth for a workout with my trainer and grocery shopping there I was stuck grocery shopping here at Wal-Mart. I hate Wal-Mart! But I did get to go to the local produce guy to pick up my veggies and I came home with some great stuff! Beautiful sweet potatoes for $1.72/lb. Some Okra for $.99/lb, and the best deal of ALL… honeycrisp apples for $1.49/lb!!!! SCORE!
Anyway, so on to the evil Wal-Mart… So I get my stuff and I’m waiting in line to check out and the lady in front of me is putting her stuff on the belt thing. And I couldn’t help but notice what she is unloading from her cart. Now I really try not to judge because not everyone really knows and understands (or even cares about) eating healthy. But here’s some of the things she unloaded from her cart… 2 huge palate things of ramen noodles, 10 chubs of ground beef, sugary cereal, pop tarts, potato chips, microwave dinners, soda. Not a single vegetable or fruit. Yikes! And she spent well over $200!! And she had 2 kids with her so I can only assume it was for a family. I know it’s none of my business, but those poor kids! I can only think of the vitamin deficiencies they are developing as we speak. Can you say malnutrition?
Anyhoo…
I worked on my three day diet analysis for Intro to Nutrition when I got home and got the groceries unloaded. The results were pretty surprising! I’m deficient in a LOT of vitamins and minerals! Yoinks!
Take a look…
And the things I get too much of…
Look at the Vitamin A!!!! Holy Moly!!!! I think it’s because I had a lot of peanut butter over that three day period- more than I normally have.
I also don’t get enough calcium, grains, and vegetables.
And here I was thinking that I eat pretty healthy, LOL. Looks like I’ve got a lot of work to do!
My energy balance…
The assignment was really interesting! I had no idea about some of these things. Nothing much going on this evening. Justin is going over to a buddy’s house to play some video games and I have the house to myself. Debating over just watching a musical instead of working on my chemistry homework like I should be. My choices are Ana and the King or Flashdance. What should I pick?! Decisions decisions!
Till tomorrow!
When we had to put one of those collars on our cat, he started walking backwards, like he was trying to back out of it. It was hysterical! And he kept walking into things, bumping the collar on the edge of chairs and whatnot. It was so sad! I felt bad for him, but I also couldn’t stop laughing. Hope your pup is on the mend soon 🙂
I had a similar assignment in my Fitness for Living class last Spring, and I was shocked by the different nutrient information. Since I was following WW religiously at the time, I felt like I was eating pretty healthy. Come to find out I was deficient in quite a few things, and I couldn’t believe how much sodium I was consuming.
