Eighty-Five Reasons for my Tummy to Love me!

Happy Monday everyone! :o)

You may have noticed that there was a distinctive lack of meal recaps last week. That's because for about a week I'd been fighting a stomach bug of some sort (boo!). My meals mostly consisted of really bland stuff in an effort to keep my tummy happy.

I was so sick, I even called in sick on Friday. Given the massive pile of files on my desk, you know it was serious!

Pretty well all of my weekend was spent in pain and sick. But thankfully by Sunday I was better. After a week of being sick I was plain old out of good eats. So I headed to the grocery store and picked up 85 reasons for my tummy to love me:

This week's total: $85.79! Overall not bad for such a large shopping trip. It's not usual that I go and pick up everything under the sun.

What was in my haul?


One bag of frozen tropical fruit mix and another one of mangoes (these are for my Green Monsters), a large bag of organic flax seeds, one container of mushrooms, a big bag of blanched almond slivers, a huge bag of white chocolate (so I can bake cookies for the winner of the bake sale, 2 bunches of bananas, one bunch of Kale, a large bag of grapes . . .

four tomatoes, one (now that I look at it) kind of sad bunch of rapini, one red pepper, 5 apples, a big bag of spinach . . .


one box of fat-free 50 calorie yogurts, one package of smoked tofu (how I love thee!), one package of veggies spicy Italian sausages, one package of organic chicken thighs, one box of Yogi Lemon Ginger tea (good for the tummy!), one tub of Kefir yogurt (also good for the tummy).

Whew!!! That was a big shopping expedition :o) This week I'll try to stay away from too much meat. Or at least until my stomach feels 100% better. Speaking of better . . . you can expect the return of meal recaps. I promise to make them purty for you! lol


And in other wedding related news . . .

I spent some of my sick time contacting wedding photographers. I've been known to stalk photography blogs like it's my full time job! :oP

In fact out of our whole budget photography will be the biggest chunk. I want spectacular pictures! Fall off your chair amazing! Gee this photographer made me look awesome pictures!

Well I contacted my dream photographers (Chris+Lynn of Vancouver, Canada) and braced myself for them to be waaaaaaaaay out of my destination wedding budget. Guess what!??! THEY'RE NOT!!!!!!!!!!! I just about died! DIED!
