Ring in the New Year!

This year, I decided the Roomie and I are going to live "Healthier" lives. That is my resolution. (For those out there that know me, you know how I get- I tend to over-do things... not a fault, just a... defining characteristic.) January 2nd (can't do ANYTHING even remotely productive the first day of the year- scientific fact) rolled around and I did a little "House Cleaning" of all the carbs. Pretzels, uncooked pasta, granola bars, anything that resembled a carb to me- garbage. I decided we are going to do a modified-Paleo diet- low in carbs, high in veggies, meat, fish, fruit, and nuts. (10 days in, so far so... mediocre.)

So I found all these Paleo-help websites, bought an app for my phone (big guns), pulled out all the stops. We are doing this, this is our year! Anyway, I got together a few Paleo-friendly recipes and a grocery list for our new way of life. NEVER Paleo shop when you're hungry. We got avocados, grapes, bananas, clementines, tuna steaks, COD STEAKS (WTF are those?!), almonds, pistachios, WALNUTS?!, we WENT nuts! Anyway, the whole house would be full- floor to ceiling- of healthy options. (Most would go bad before we could even get to eating them, but whatever- we had choices, and they were good ones.)

We get home- exhausted from all the good decision making- and start to put away the groceries. Clearly frozen fish is cheaper than fresh, so I go to put it all away and what do I find? 





Now... I've been a little hard on Roomie with this whole "Healthy New Year" dieting shit, so it breaks my heart that this is all she has to stash away. I let her keep it... but don't think I'm not monitoring the levels...
