I have no idea what I'm doing.

As I said yesterday, I'm overwhelmed at the thought of completely revamping what I eat, even if it's only for 6 weeks.  I put off going to the store all day, and I wasn't feeling very confident with my list.  What if I couldn't find everything? What if I don't get enough? What if it's too expensive??

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Thankfully, I am very lucky that I live near a variety of stores, and spending more on food for the next 6 weeks doesn't mean my family will be doing without.  Though I do plan on keeping expenses to a minimum to compensate.

Anyway, yes, I made it to the store.  They didn't have everything I needed, but I'm sure it won't be too awful if I don't have 2 TB of dulse for a recipe.  I'll try the natural grocery store another day.

This is what I ended up with:

I'm trying to avoid as much food waste as possible, so I stocked up on lots of frozen veggies.  All the cans are beans.  I think it would be even more overwhelming to use dry beans, so I opted for the low sodium varieties.   Got a few bunches of romaine lettuce, kale, and baby spinach.  Oatmeal, nuts, almond butter, flax seed, almond milk, pepper, tomatoes, mangoes, onions, raspberries, spices, dates, and so on.  I know I have enough to make that '1 pound of cooked veggies' requirement, but I'm a little worried about the pound of uncooked.  That seems like a lot.  We'll see how it goes.  They were out of a lot of stuff at the store, which limited my choices.

But really,

My game plan for tomorrow is to have oatmeal with fruit for breakfast, a salad for lunch, and soup for dinner.  Luckily, there is a crock pot option for the soup I chose, so hopefully I can get that in early in the day and not worry about it.  

Day 1 tomorrow... eek!
