Fritzy 22's Journal, 11 Nov 22

Gave in and decided to have a molasses cookie! They've been in the freezer since Monday so I feel good about that. in the past those cookies and the box of drumsticks would all have been gone by Friday! Of course, it's only 2:30pm. I have had this mindset if I buy baked goods or some other snack while trying to lose weight that I just need to eat it all so it's out of the house and not tempting me. I want to have snacks in the house but just eat once in awhile.

Bobby needs a coat or jacket or whatever dog clothes are called. It is so cold when we walk in the mornings. I wear a coat. He doesn't shiver or anything but he has no undercoat. He's almost bald in places. He must be cold. He will stay all day or night on whatever bed the cats are sleeping on because there is usually a heated blanket. Yesterday when I went to pick up my new walking shoes I went to Petco to see what they had. They had something I liked but I wasn't sure about the size. And it was $28. Thought the last time I bought something like that it was around $15. Anyway, Petco told me I could bring it back if it didn't fit or bring Bobby in to try it on. I told them I'd come back. Then I came to my teeny, tiny town and went to the groomer's. She has been grooming all my dogs for as long as I've lived here. She has a small shop but it is super expensive. Probably because it is so small. I'd never buy dog or cat food there because it's double what I usually pay. I'll buy a little bag of snacks for Bobby and I've bought lots of cat collars. Anyway, she had something similar to what I saw at Petco. It was about $56! I told her I'd think about it. I like to support her, would hate for the grooming business to go away but I decided that was too much for something Bobby would only wear once in awhile. I took him for a walk this morning and I have an old jacket for him that I put on him. The velcro that closes underneath him was really too tight so halfway through the walk I undid it. So the rest of the walk it looked like he had a cape on, it just hooked aroung his neck. So far I like my new shoes. Tomato soup for dinner and another glass of milk to get the protein grams up. Only one gram of protein in the cookie so there is no nutritional reason to eat it. I just wanted it.
