Rookie Mistake.

I went and did it this time. What a rookie mistake. After work yesterday, I decided to head to the grocery. My plan was to get a salad from the salad bar, a jar of jelly, some light bulbs, and a thing of sandwich bags. Easy enough, right?

Well, $38 dollars later, I realized what I had done. I went to the grocery hungry. This is nutrition mistake numero uno. As I was checking out, sliding my Italian pork, NON-generic multi-grain tortilla chips and salsa, cheese sticks, cherry tomatoes, various frozen items, and a few of my favorite chocolates across the scanner, I realized what I had done.

Worse yet, not only did I make impulse purchases, but when I got home, I ate them......all. I literally licked the bottom of the salsa jar clean, and my chips barely made it out alive.

So, what could I have done? I should have already had dinner planned ahead of time. I figured I would go to the salad bar, but I wasn't really sure. That is just poor planning. 2. I should have had a snack before I went. In one aisle of the grocery, they had chips in one of those germ infested taste testing stands, and I ATE THEM. Ugh. So unnecessary.

Today I am going to put a few granola bars in console of my car in case this situation should arise again. My dinner for tonight is already planned, so we shouldn't have this issue again.
