It never fails. I put a grocery list together and have some sort of plan for what I want to do but then during the week things happen. From having dinner with the family to staying late at work, sometimes I just don’t get the time to prep for dinner or meals for the next day. So at the end of the week I find myself with an excess of fruits and vegetables that I either have to use immediately or throw them away. Today I’m going to share what I did today to take clean out the fridge and make room for next week’s groceries.
- Lemon and blueberry water
- Sweet potato chips
- Kale, berry, apple and cucumber juice
- Kale, orange, carrot, apple, and ginger juice
- Large mason jar of apple juice (six medium red apples)
- Pot of homemade pasta sauce with spinach & mushrooms
Now not all of this was lying around in my fridge taking up space. Once I figured out what I could make from the leftover fruits and veggies I stopped by the store to supplement some of the recipes. However, my last grocery run was for juicing purposes so I did have an abundance of kale and spinach taking up way too much space.
Today’s Wednesday Weigh In is just a quick post about what I’m doing at work to try and curb cravings and increase my water intake. I’ll be honest, I’m horrible at remembering to drink enough water during the day unless I use a ton of flavor enhancer which can’t be all that great in large amounts. So I’ve been trying something different. A couple of lemon slices in my water bottle as been doing the trick. Its been curbing my appetite and it has a nice fresh flavor.

last year on Black Friday from Amazon and have loved it ever since. I didn’t get a chance to use it as much as I’d have liked to but with the weather beginning to finally warm up, at least for today, I don’t see many more opportunities other than leaf burning for it. But that’s ok, I’m really looking forward to the warmer weather (just not the pollen).
