I went to...

Sunday's Weigh-In: 247.0 lbs
Goal Weight: 175.0
Pounds to Lose: 72.0

I went to Rack Room Shoes today, you know the place where you buy one pair and get the second pair half off. How awesome is that? Anyway, I originally was going to get the Nike Free shoes, but when I tried them on I felt they were more for running and I have gotten there yet. So, I search further and came along these beautiful pair of shoes, Nike dual Fusion Lite, I just had to have them.

Nike Dual Fusion Lite (Navy/Orange)

Nike Dual Fusion Lite (Grey/Lime)

I also went to Target and got two pairs of jogging pant, navy and gray. I picked up two shirts as well, neon orange and neon green. I tried on the shirts when I got home, they're are not long enough so I'm gonna have to return them. While I'm out I guess I'll donate my Nike Revolution Gen 1 (grey/blue) to Goodwill.

Yesterday, While at Walmart I wanted to try a different fish for Sunday, not that I'm tired of salmon. I could never be tired of salmon, that's my fish. I asked my friend what fish I should try, he suggested flounder. Well, I couldn't wait until Sunday so I tried flounder for the first time today for dinner, it was delicious. Even with just simple seasoning like olive oil spray, salt, and pepper, it was so tasty. I'm definitely going to add it to my meal plan. The next fish I plan to try is halibut. 

If you have any fish recommendations, feel free to share them in the comments section.

After about 250 miles of service...

Sunday's Weigh-In: 247.0 lbs
Goal Weight: 175.0
Pounds to Lose: 72.0

After about 250 miles of service, it's time to bid adieu to my Nike Revolution Gen 1 (black/red), they have served me well through the rain, duck poo, and other obstacles along my walking route.

I still have the other pair of Nike Revolutions Gen 1 (blue/gray) but I can't walk long periods in them for some odd reason the shoes rub against my heel. Remember that horrible blister I had last month from walking 5 miles in them. I'll probably donate them to Goodwill. So that being said, it's time to buy some new walking/running shoes. I like loud colors and unique styles. I searched Zappos and narrowed it down the five shoes below; they range from $70 to $100. I never been a real PUMA fan before but I notice 3 of the 5 are PUMAs. I started a poll (on the right) for you to help me choose. Which shoe do you like?

Nike Free 5.0+ (Gym Red)

PUMA Bioweb Elite Glow (Hawaiian Ocean)

PUMA Cell Gen NM (Fluro Orange)

addias Running adipure CrazyQuick (Vivid Yellow)

PUMA Mell Es Suga (Jasmine Green)

Tomorrow's pay day so you know what that means...grocery shopping time. I'm going to try and mix it up a little, all last month I only had two meats, pork loins and salmon. I'm going to throw chicken and extra lean ground beef in the mix. I would like to find another fish but nothing seems to compare to salmon. If you know of one let me know.

You won't believe the math that goes into figuring out how much I need to buy a month.

MONTHLY GROCERY LIST
6 - 2lb package of salmon
1 - 2.25lb package of ground beef (extra lean)
1 - 5lb package of chicken
1 - 2.75lb package of pork loins (thin cut)
12 - 2lb package of frozen sweet peas
3 - 4lb package of frozen broccoli
5 - 2lb pack of black rice
2 - container of oats (old fashion)
2 - jar of honey peanut butter
1 - container of california raisins

BIWEEKLY GROCERY LIST
1 - loaf of honey wheat bread
1 - one gallon of 1% lowfat milk
2 - 2lb package of baby carrots
4 - bags of granny smith apples
2 - bunches of bananas

I spend about $300 on food a month. Why does it cost so much to eat healthy?
