My Fruitive Challenge: Day 126 — The Kitchen by Wolfgang Puck

-

 We had a family date night last night at a nice restaurant with Mom and Dad. The usual happened when I simply order a house salad with dressing on the side. I’m used to family and friends expressing amazement and concern that I’m just ordering a house salad with dressing on the side. I’m used to being impressed with the meal they ordered and happy for them getting to enjoy it, and I’m used to happily enjoying my healthy smoothie when I get home. It helps a lot to have friends and family rooting for me. My progress is real and energizing. Although they’re feeling sorry for me for missing out on the fine dining, they don’t know what I know—I’m actually feeling sorry for them a little for missing out on all the health benefits I’ve been experiencing!

(I like Penn’s comment that it’s even okay not to order anything if you want to. Who cares? Haha. I’m not ready to do that yet.)

I have been pretty worried about that part of the plan because I love my salt, oil, and sugar, but I have to say that I had a really good first day of it. I ate fresh fruit for breakfast, rice and salad for lunch, and a rice and beans bowl for dinner. The trick for me is to add a variety of no salt seasonings to taste and to toss in a mix of vegetables including avocado. I had one mishap worth mentioning though

We signed up with Shipt for grocery-getting. It's our first time and it feels luxurious! I could get used to this! Like the first time I felt When Grubhub delivered me a hamburger, But better. Hey, the Shipt employee just texted me. She's on her way. Wait. A breaking update from News 8: "Shipt: Meijer team members at 3 stores test positive for COVID-19" Me: Uhh. Laura: She's here! Stand back. Don't touch. Smile. Say thank you. Wave goodbye. Spray the bags. Wipe the groceries clean. Did you get the receipt? Maybe we can return the COVID-19 For some in-store credit? For now, let's get dinner ready And eat nutritiously! A crown of luxury indeed Fit for a king and queen! I can't get used to this.
