My challenge today: You lost one mitt. Spend the day without it.

I'm back from grocery shopping and am pretty proud of my purchases. I spent $41.70 on groceries plus $3.00 for gas. I have $18.30 left for the rest of this challenge.


So far I've eaten Apple Pie Oatmeal for breakfast (I substituted more oatmeal for wheatgerm) and hot lemon water. For lunch, I had scrambled eggs, carrots and dip, and water. Dinner will be a chicken breast (I cut up the whole chicken I bought today) and salad with Balsamic dressing, and a glass of water.

Fortunately today is the day I lost my mitt (and not tomorrow when I am outside with students for supervision). I have a lot of work to do, so I will be spending most of the day indoors. If I had lost my mitt on a day when I had to spend a lot of time outdoors, I would put my hand in my pocket or up my sleeve. I could also use a sock if I needed to use both of my hands for a long period of time outdoors!
