LOL I am sure you are going to achieve your goal this year coming. I do agree with one of the comments in the fact that I am sure you would be able to find a second hand bike that might fit your price range.<br /><br />You are an amazing woman and what I have read so far makes me know that you are going to achieve all that comes your way.<br />Chubbymumnomore<br />chubbymumnormore.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-69190013817636097282011-12-29T22:00:33.090-05:002011-12-29T22:00:33.090-05:00Now MF, I have to disagree with you a little. Gra...Now MF, I have to disagree with you a little. Grapes at Aldis are nowhere near 5 bucks. Anywhere else, then sure. The produce prices at Aldis are awesome and while they may not offer quite the variety, you can't usually beat the cost. As for fast food, with a big family here's another thing I can tell you. I can make a perfectly healthy meal for much less cost than buying fast food for my whole family. My problem with fast food is the convenience of it, not the cost. As for the road bike...check out a good reputable bike shop. You may find something used for much less. Ebay too. Road bikes are pricey, especially if you're looking for new. At the end of the day, ultimately what you eat and how much exercise you get comes down to the decisions you make. Not how much money you have at your disposal. You know I love you to pieces! I have every confidence you will succeed and I think you should take your brother up on his offer.

However I joined my local farmers market so on top of the feel good, helping the community high I get I also receive discounted seasonal fresh produce each Saturday which I found really helps the old back pocket. However the issue I find most annoying with regard to healthy food costs verses bad food costs; the perishable aspect. I can buy cheap junk food and store it in my cupboard and fridge for a few weeks at a time however buying fresh produce each week means that I have to cook and eat the food straight away otherwise it starts going rotten and the worst feeling ever is when you forget about produce and find some revolting brown sludge oozing out the fridge AAHHHHH night mare!<br />Also good luck with your tri I also wanted to look at trying my luck at one end of next year but I'm far too scared that I won't be capable to do it so I haven't listed it as a goal its a dream at this stage :/ I look forward to updates on your progress it will hopefully inspire me to have a go too.<br />Good luck<br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303074528802062534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-474879618096147912011-12-29T15:47:50.335-05:002011-12-29T15:47:50.335-05:00With my hubs on disability I also find money tight...With my hubs on disability I also find money tight! And there are times when cheap food it was it needed! I have been slowly but surely stocking the freezer with extras that I've cooked and that both of us like.<br />It's definitely not going to be an easy year but it's going to be a fantastic one :)WWSuzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14200582568720343436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-33020770107580486982011-12-29T12:32:12.659-05:002011-12-29T12:32:12.659-05:00It's insane how cheap fast food is compared to...It's insane how cheap fast food is compared to healthy foods. Have you seen Food Inc? If not, I really recommend it .. that's a very important documentary about the American food industry!Marenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09723154108032675494noreply@blogger.com
