Happy Happy Friday! I hope you all had a great week! We are thrilled to report that we survived daylight savings. Did you? The first few days were an adventure, but all in all, we made it through! We also had really warm weather this week. We still haven’t bit the bullet and turned the AC on (even though the high today was supposed to be 85 degrees). So we are sweltering a bit. But we have the windows open, fans on and are just trying to stay cool. If it gets any warmer, the AC will be on.
I’m also 20 days into the Maximixed Living Advanced plan. I’m still upset that I can’t eat sugar, but this eating plan seems to be working for me. I feel better than I have in a while. And I’ve started working out again. So all in all, maybe the no sugar thing is a good thing!
Our shopping trip today was another small one. I must admit, I went to Publix on Wednesday and bought $40 worth of produce and used a $5/$40 coupon on it. I do wish there was more coupons to use on produce! My husband is raving about the Naan Stonefire Flatbreads. Make sure you check out that deal!
Please remember that you do not see any chicken or ground beef purchased because we have stocked up on boneless, skinless chicken breasts and ground beef with Zaycon Foods. **Right now Zaycon Foods is taking reservations for their upcoming Ground Beef, Bacon, Sausage links, Chuck Roast, Patio Steaks, Pulled Pork and more Events!
