I'm having a hard time motivating myself to be healthier. I really want to start exercising, eating healthier and drinking more water. Joe and I were talking and he really put things in perspective. He said I need to stop thinking about the process, and just do it.
Going to the Grocery Store
My thought process:
So, I need to go to the grocery store. When am I going to go? Should I go before or after Lincoln eats? Will he need to nap? Has Gavin eaten lunch? Should I bring some snacks? Will the kids be good? How much time do I have?
I need to make a list first. What do we have? What do we need? What is the dinner menu for the week? Where's my cookbook? Is it healthy? Will I keep my budget?
Time to pack up the kids. Do I have the diaper bag? Diapers? Wipes? Outfit in case of a blow out? Paci? Toy? Where's Gavin? Does Gavin has shoes? Do I have both car seats? Do I have my reusable bags? Ok. Let's go.
On to the store. Can I find a parking spot? Is it close? Shopping cart or stroller? Is Gavin walking or riding in cart? Where's Gavin? Is Gavin going to behave? Can I make it through the store without bribing him? Will Lincoln behave? Double check for paci.
How can I shop as quickly as possible? What's on the list? Is it on sale? Do they have it? If not, what can I get instead? Look over basket. Do I have everything? Is it in the budget? I probably don't NEED that. But I really want it. Guess, I'll put it back. Where's the shortest line? Does the lady in front of me have coupons or paying with a bag of change? Where's Gavin?
Time to load up the groceries. Kids in the car? Groceries in the car? Where are the eggs? Ok, I'm home. I need to unload the groceries. First, I should feed Lincoln. I've got to put the food away. Maybe I'll just do the cold stuff. Gavin's hungry. What should I feed him?
Is it time for a nap yet?!?
And that is just grocery shopping.

I have a rule in my house....my hubby stays home with the kids and I got to the grocery store by myself! I meal plan, make the list and off I go! Kids go with me on small trips for an item or two. Good luck and make the crockpot your best friend for healthy and easy meals.
Amanda- great idea! My hubby used to go to the store for me (with a VERY specific list!), but he has been working loooong hours, so it's back to me. I will be doing more crock pot stuff for sure!!
