LID is....expensive

I went LID shopping after yoga earlier today. I stopped by Trader Joe's, Henry's, and Whole Foods. For approximately $74, I picked up the following:

Trader Joe's:
Zico coconut water
Vanilla meringue cookies
Brown rice fusilli
Organic Green Tea
Organic Polenta
Fruit applesauce 4pk
Green and yellow beans
Broccoli, carrots, cauliflower medley
Bananas

Henry's:
Cilantro
Strawberries
Blueberries
Raspberries
Avocados
Blanched almonds
Sweet potato
Yam

Whole Foods:
Bissinger's Natural Apricot Green Tea gummy pandas
Luna & Larry's Organic Coconut Bliss Naked Coconut
Fresh chicken breast (no skin/bone)
MimicCreme Almond & Cashew cream for coffee french vanilla
Scharffen Berger Mocha Dark Chocolate with freshly roasted coffee

Hopefully all of this stuff will last me until the end of the week. The Luna & Larry's naked coconut 'ice cream' tastes really good! There were a few flavors, and I believe just about all of the flavors are LID safe. I'm not planning on eating the chicken every day, so it should last me for the whole two weeks of LID. I need to get some instant coffee for the MimicCream, or I could put that in my oatmeal. I already mixed half of the berries and bananas for a fruit salad that I can eat any time. I'll probably bring the applesauce to work, for a quick and easy snack. I'm looking forward making guacamole, but not sure what to eat it with.

For lunch, I stir-fried chicken, garlic, and blanched almonds with some olive oil and sesame seed oil, then threw in the TJ's green and yellow beans, topped with some TJ's pink himilayan salt. I threw that on top of some jasmine/brown rice. It was very tasty.

Despite the restrictions of the LID diet, all LID food is good and tasty. But, depending on what it is I am eating, sometimes LID foods don't go too well with my WeightWatchers program. For example, nuts. I love nuts, but they can carry a lot of points plus. Dark chocolate, but chocolate is always high in points plus. Rice, pasta, quinoa - I love it all, but they are all high in points plus. My new discovery (thanks to Suzanna from my ThyCa group), the Luna & Larry 'ice cream' is also high in points plus, but oh so good! I am trying watch my portions this time because I think that is where I went overboard last year. I put in my points plus for what I've eaten so far today, and I almost used up all of my points plus for the day! .
