I dont know if you can really tell whats going on in this picture, but the whole grain english muffins which are less calories (110), and have more fiber (3 grams) and all that other good stuff are 3.39$ for the 6 pack, the Original with 120 calories per muffin that have 1 gram of fiber, are 1.69 cents. The healthy food is almost 2 dollars more expensive then the unhealthy vareity, it works out to be double the cost per muffin. (28 cents). I feel like this trend is annoying and disapointing. I mean no wonder our country is obease, people look at stuff like this and think, why spend the extra money its just 10 more calories, why make dinner when I can spend 5$ a person to go get fast food...and it just is a downward spiral of unhealthy eatting, and dont even get me started on the cost of produce.
On an entirly different subject I did not go horse back riding this weekend, I ended up having to call and cancel cause my meeting with some people about moving appartments got pushed back, and I ended up wandering around marshels to kill some time. My original plan was to go to Costco instead, but I found out I was never actually added to my parents membership, so I couldnt get anything from there. And I had some stuff I wanted to get for Jake's b-day from marshels anyway. And I ended up getting myself a really cute sweater
I saw it cause it was not on a hanger in the middle of two racks, and I picked it up and it was so soft, its like 40% angora wool, and it was my size and it was 10$ so I bought it, and I got what I wanted to get for Jake. So even though I really didnt get my work out in I do think Sunday was a sucess. Plus the meeting with the couple about the apartment went well. Anyway, tomorrow is my weigh in day so I am kinda freaked about that, but earler this week things were looking really good I just hope everything is where its supposed to be, fingers crossed for 196lbs, which will put me at 2lbs lost last week.
Ooooo Angora wool is soooo soft! >.> I'd totally steal that from you, if you come visit me, I'd keep an eye on that if you bring it, I imagine you would because it's hella cold in Germany during the winter. I rarely eat out...but the culture is very different here. We don't really have a bunch of fast food restraunts, and when people eat, they like to spend like 2 hours per meal. However, that doesn't mean we don't have obese people, but during the warmer months you see a lot of people bicycling instead of driving, and I think in general people eat healthier. I know I eat better because I just cook for myself at home instead of getting fast food.
