My mood has been kind of low lately, and its made my motivation decrease even further than usual. I have just not been eating that much because either there's nothing in the house, or what is seems like too much work to make. I've lost two pounds as a result this past week. Not the way I want to lose it, but at least it's a positive thing.

I was talking to my hubby about this new shopping center they plan to build quite close to us. It's always suspenseful what stores they will include in the shopping center. So often the stores they choose are just not the ones that would really be beneficial. They wrote that they'd build a privately owned movie theater, even though we have plenty of great theaters, standard popular films and foreign/alternative films. An LL Bean, which is OK. And a gourmet grocery store. Not sure why the gourmet grocery store is so needed. We already have one within a 6 mins drive, and a mega typical grocery store only 1 minute down the road from the proposed new gourmet store. What I'd like is a Whole Foods market. The closest one is an inconvenient 25 mins away. I'd love to have access to very very healthful foods, which Whole Foods is GREAT at supplying. They have amazingly great healthful salads at their salad bars, and plenty of healthful hot food items. All the other grocery store salad bars are so ho-hum, and their hot food options are basically junk food.
