New York was really good today! I had breakfast with my beloved husband and then I did some shopping picture above of the things I successfully found! The books I got out from my library the ones on quantum physicists are for my writing project and the Agatha Christie is my comfort read/brain break.
I had been wanting some new makeup brushes and was quite grateful to find these on clearance! I double-checked with the regular price things at Marshalls as T.J Maxx didn't have what I wanted and it was the best price for exactly what I wanted! And much cheaper than the pharmacy or Sephora!
Well, $20 is a lot of money. It's actually a very affordable meal in this part of the world! For what it was and for what I'm able to pay. For which I'm quite grateful. So I had the soup and I got mint tea instead of soda and had that for lunch! It was perfect as I'd had a big breakfast! By which I mean I had a lot of scrambled eggs, a nice chunk of potato, one piece of bacon and granola and yogurt with toppings plus 3 cups of tea. So as you can see breakfast was quite substantial! 🤣😳🧐🤔☺️
Anyway, then I had half of the chicken pot pie for dinner tonight. It was a very big portion as you can see in the pictures above! Because that's only half! I'll have the other half God willing on Thursday when my husband will be at work and I will be home! So the $20 actually was four meals for me! So $5 a meal isn't so bad! Americans or North Americans that is in certain restaurants. At least we get huge portions. I've learned portion control over time though it's always an ongoing effort. I also walked almost 7 mi today! I did eat a little more snacks that is is and a bottle of kombucha and I had tea and some nuts. And I'll probably eat a little bowl of Cheerios tonight yet. I usually do something like that.
I was out of Trader Joe's chocolate almonds which is something I'm usually never out of! I know that means I'm very spoiled clearly! Anyway, I really like them and I use them in the following way. Often in between meals when I'm busy doing things at home, I'll feel like I'm dragging a bit and I will go and eat just one chocolate almond and have something to drink and feel much better. So I'm glad to have these again!
All this talk about food has gotten me hungry again! That bowl of Cheerios and more tea will be quite enjoyed!
I hope that I can keep up doing walks more regularly again. I've really been regaining strength as I was so sick from October through December. It's such a blessing to have a period of better health. May God have mercy on all of us.

It's wonderful to hear how much better you are feeling and how active you're able to be. The chocolate almond break is a great idea! What an exercise in moderation that would be for me - oh, my.
