January 25th

Good day for food and I am going to count my running around stores after work as exercise.

Got up and had my coffee, juice and oatmeal per my new routine this morning.

For lunch I had a can of potatoes ham chowder, a yoghurt and a granola bar. I have come to realize that these cans of soup are very filling. I think I am going to start splitting them into two containers and having a can last for two days.

I got a text that someone wanted to look at our house after lunch so after work I headed home instead of doing some errands I had planned on doing on the way home. I tided the house up a little bit and loaded the kitty up in her carrier. I dropped the kitty off in my sister basement bathroom and headed out to run my errands. Since we had to be out of the house for awhile my wife and I decided I would run my errands and then we would meet at Wal-Mart and get groceries for next week.

First I went to Menards to return a water filter for our fridge. I had bought the wrong one when we had been at Menards a few weeks before. After I did the return a ran to the back of the store and grabbed the correct filter then checked out and headed to my next destination.

Next I went to Bed Bath and Beyond. I had bought a coffee filter there before Christmas and it did not fit the coffee maker I had, plus I had gotten a new coffee maker since then as well. The took it back with no hassle and I hoped in the car to go to my next stop.

Next I stopped at Sam's Club to pick up some baby aspirin and regular aspirin that my wife and I take for medication. I also grabbed another box of granola bars because we were almost out. After checking out there I headed to my final destination.

My last stop was Wal-Mart to meet my wife and get groceries. I was a little early so I went to look at some ting in the electronics. I had a Wal-Mart gift card that I had been hoping to use to buy an Amazon gift card but I found out after walking around the electronics for awhile that they no longer carried Amazon gift cards. I then spent some time looking through the games and eventually decided I would wait and use the gift card to buy the new Muppets movie when it cam out in march. About that time my wife called and let me know that she was at the store. We meet u pin the pet food area and then headed out to collect all the groceries we needed for the next week. When we had everything and we were ready to check out I left to go pick the cat up while she checked out and headed home. It timed out perfectly. I got home and took the cat in and then she got home right after me.

While I unloaded the groceries my wife started making supper for us. She made us turkey bacon and eggs and I also had four slices of toast with cinnamon butter. It was a very good meal.

After supper and a shower I had a bowl of ice cream while we watched some TV. I need to work on my portion control here. I had way to much ice cream.

In closing I am going to count all my running around in all the stores I went to tonight as exercise because I did a lot of walking even if it was not continues it is still better then nothing.
