I stopped off at the grocery store looking for a few staples. In my world, there are really only four food groups. Vodka, Olives, Cheese, and Baguette. Any other food is just par for the course. (whatever that means, i have never golfed...)
While i was purchasing these staples of life, i also noticed that valentine's day candy was 50% off. That's an awesome deal!! I like to think of myself as more of an opportunist than a binge eater. Buy candy at 50% just makes sense. We're in a recession after all....
Have you ever been secretly or not so secretly judged? Or, have you been the judger? Sometimes i give people disapproving looks when i see them order an awesome blossom at a restaurant. I mean seriously- no good can come from eating that thing.
In other news, my legs are still kinda sore from Saturday. I went and cross-trained for an hour, and went to hot yoga class, but they still feel TIRED! they just don't want to move. I even ran a sad pathetic mile yesterday just to make sure i didn't really damage anything. The legs work fine, they are just heavy and tight feeling. This is the first time i haven't bounced right back from a run since i first started running last summer. Apparently, running 16 miles is no easy task.
I judge people at the grocery store when their cart is full of mostly processed food, chips, sweets, pop, etc. I would never openly laugh at anyone thought.
ReplyDeleteoohhhh, totally, especially when they have little kids. I just felt bad, because i actually do eat super healthy outside of my love for candy. I just feel like i was caught in the worst possible light with my candy stock-pile! :)
DeleteI do this while watching "Extreme Couponing." If your children's only source of vegetables is the peas in your box of pre-packed sodium-filled thai noodles, that is very sad.
DeleteI am the exact same way...never laugh out loud though, only comment in my head!
DeleteI've filled my cart with similar essentials before. Sometimes, I only want to buy a bottle of wine and Sour Patch Kids. No judgements here!
ReplyDeleteAnd then when i have cart full of veggies, the store is miraculously empty!! :D
DeleteWe live similar lives. Staples in my household: bread, cheese and wine. I may or may not eat this at least twice a week. can't be all bad though no?
ReplyDeletebread: carbs-necessity for runners
Cheese- protein
wine- a glass a day is heart healthy.
just don't ask me how much of it I eat.
I mean, it works for the French....
DeleteI try not to judge, as I was once that really overweight person who lived off of velveeta blocks of cheese, soda, frozen pizza and chips ahoy....BUT that said, with healthier coming to the masses and relatively affordable, I do turn my nose up at the 300 pound woman with her 100 pound 6 year old who purchases nothing but processed junk. On a somewhat off topic..in college I would follow someone around the grocery store and when they walked away from their cart I would toss in something ridiculous into their cart and make sure I was behind them at the checkout counter. Usually it was tampons or maxi pads I would toss into some hot guy's cart....The Jewel on Southport and the old Dominicks on Broadway were the the best to have my fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd sorry to hear about your gams...they will bounce back...and will most definitely forgive you. :)
I LOVE IT! now i want to sneak something into someones cart, just to see if i can get away with it!!
DeleteGet those legs on the foam roller!
ReplyDeleteWTF about the laughing? I notice when people have a cart full of crap, but it's hard to tell if that is for them or someone else. And when I eat out, I go ALL out :) So people are probably judging me!!!
Omg, me and the foam roller are inseperable. It really is getting better, i am just a chronic whiner. On the rare occasion i drop the $$$ to go to a restaurant, i GO TO TOWN! :D
DeleteI usually get looks from the ladies at work whenever I bring stuff in for lunch. And one of them must have the duty of commenting every time I have something microwavable - Ramen, Hot Pockets, Easy Mac. Her big line used to be, "Oh, someone's on the bachelor diet!"
ReplyDeleteNow I'm married. So she can shove it.
I feel if people are going to comment, they should just do you one better and bring you an amazing meal. If you are going to act like my mom, you might as well cook for me like her. (although my mom never cooked, and if she did, it was ramen, hot pockets, and mac n cheese.)
