Trader Joe's
Today I got to shop at a store called Trader Joe's. I love that store, but they don't have them in Miami. I heard rumors that they were coming to Florida, but nothing concrete yet. It's a kinda high end grocery store that carries good stuff for pretty good prices. They have their own wine for like $5 a bottle or something like that. I didn't get wine, since I don't really like most wines, but I did get some stuff that I can only get there, like their teas. I love their mint and lemongrass tea and their pomegranate white tea. I also got some chocolate covered espresso beans, orange flavored dried cranberries and other stuff. I got my lunch there, which was a Pad Thai lunch box. It was pretty good, actually. I don't know if I would get it again but I did like it. It's just small for the price. I walked to the store, so I got my exercise in for the day. It's about a half mile away, maybe a bit more.
I'm doing better today. I didn't sleep all day like I have been, although I did spend most of the day awake on the computer in bed. It was really hot outside, and now it's cold out there. I can't win. It was 80 during the day and now it's going to be like 40something tonight. There's maybe a couple hours of the day where I can feel comfortable. I slept good for the most part last night.. I woke up this morning and I had to remind myself where I was. I sleep with a sleeping mask on, and so when I woke up it was just black and I had to remind myself that I was at my stepdad's. It was kinda crazy waking up and not quite knowing where you are at. I'm not sleeping in the same room I used to sleep in growing up here, I'm sleeping in what used to be my mom's room. My room is now the office. So it's not like I'm waking up to familiar sights. Even if the sights were familiar, I had my mask on.
Mood today is good... I haven't really been affected by the movie yesterday. I talked with my stepdad about not wanting to go see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in the theaters and he totally understood. I know he doesn't know about my abuse, but he can understand that's a hard thing for any girl to watch. Just like another scene where a guy gets raped can be hard for a man to watch. That scene was shorter, though. I talked to Geo about it last night and he understood. He said that he told me not to watch the movie since it had those scenes in it, but I forgot. He said that other two are safe to watch. I don't know if I will watch them here, or when I get home. They should be on Instant Watch on something. I don't know... I will have to see how I feel.
I weighed myself today... the scale said I had lost a pound! I don't know how that can be, since I've eaten a bunch of fatty food here, but the scale said I was at 229, and when I got here it said I was over 230. I can't wait to get home and get on my own scale and see what it says. I was happy to say the least, but perplexed. It could be that I haven't been drinking as much water and I'm dehydrated, but I'm not sure. Today I got my fluids in, though.. I had 2 cups of milk, a glass of orange juice, and 3 bottles of water. I have been peeing all day lol. It's good, though, because I needed the fluids. I was sweating on my walk today, so I was losing fluids that way too. I'm still surprised that I lost weight... I don't know how, since I've been eating over my calories and way over on my fat. Oh well, who am I to argue with the scale, especially when it's going in the right direction?
Food today was pretty good... I'm close to my calorie range (a bit over) so that's good. I had some toast with an apple for breakfast, along with some orange juice and a glass of milk. I had my Pad Thai box for lunch, and tacos for dinner. I tried drinking more milk with dinner, but it has started to go bad. I don't know why it was good in the morning but bad tonight, but it was. The date on the carton says tomorrow, but I guess it's just going bad early. I should take it back to the store, but that's too much of a hassle. I thought I was going to be drinking more milk than I actually did. I thought I was going to be able to easily finish the gallon, but I guess not. There's still about 1/3 of it left. My stress level was low today... It was nice to get out and go for my walk and actually be warm than freezing in the house like I had been for the past couple of weeks. I'm going to die in the heat when I get back to Miami, but I've been having a good time here, so that's what I should be concentrating on. Sleep last night like I said was good, and so is my mood. One more week to go!
