Hi ,
Oh, yeah!
This week has been an incredible whirlwind of crazy-good busy-ness.
From successfully completing my Plant-Based Nutrition Certification at Cornell University (yay! more later) to big breakthroughs for my Booty Campers as we swing through Week #3, the heat on productivity has definitely been turned up,
 In short, It's been a week full of wins!
PLUS our new fridge was delivered and I've not only got her picture but I'll also tell you what I filled her up with.
And how I bargained for her purchase. Details in today's Feature Article.
Thank you, as always, for tuning in.
Catch ya on the blog -
P.S. Welcome to all the new readers of FitDream Ezine this week. It's an honor to be a part of your health and fitness journey!
P.P.S. Yes, my fridge is now fully stocked! I took an 'after her first meal' picture and posted it on the blog HERE.

That's right. My new best friend weighs over 200 lbs. And I'm feeding her all the time.
Actually, that's only 10.5 lbs higher than my highest weight.
Just thought of that. Anyhoo!
Let me know if you need a new refrigerator coach, cuz I've got
all the tricks and tips now that I've researched and purchased a
brand new fridge. See, I research these things before I jump.
On with the story.
My good friend Amy takes a quick thought about what she wants and then just buys. Cars, appliances, furniture.
Do you do that too? Or are you more like me?
I take a somewhat different approach.
I get an idea about what I want, then snoop around and comparison
shop. Maybe I got it from my mother who would spend every Wednesday
pouring over the newspaper, pursing lips over tongue in concentration,
for coupons and price breaks to plan out the ideal itinerary for
Thursday's shopping trip.
So I guess I fall somewhere in between.
About a month ago, when it became apparent that our trusty GE fridge
may not make it to year 21, I decided to take a preemptive strike and
find me a replacement before an emergency thaw situation hit.
Here's what I did:
- I visited 4 stores: Loews, Home Depot, Sears, and the local appliance outlet, Ginno's.
- I compared cubic feet, reviews, and prices online. Bin size. Shelf space. Lighting.
- I debated styles. The French Door style seemed so
appealing. No more leaning over to forage through deep veggie bins,
which is where I spend most of my refrigerator time. Ice in the door, or
no?
OK, no big woop, you'd do that too, right? I took it a step further.
When all was said and done, I'd managed to bargain the lowest
price offered in town out of my preferred business option - the local
guy. After all, they had really spent time with me on my questions,
never pressured me to buy, and - heck, he is the local guy.
Not only that, I was able to bargain with them on warranty AND delivery charges.
Now, my friend Amy might think this is a waste of time. For me, it save me about $3oo in cash and that was worth it.
Plus I had a really, really clear idea of what I was getting.
Heck, the same strategy saved me 2 Grand on a new car purchase once.
My new Kitchenaid? I LOVE that I can open just one door and without
bending into a pretzel position can easily pull out the crisper with my
giant carrots all ready to go. Simple pleasures.
So if you wanna talk produce-friendly fridges, brands, and all other things icebox, I'm yours!
So, what's in my new fridge?
I knew you were gonna ask that.
Of course, she's getting stocked.
Sure, I'll tell you what's inside. Be right back.
Kale (3 big bunches), carrots (5 lb bag), celery, broccoli
(4 bunches), apples, cherries, cooked brown jasmine rice, batch of
homemade veggie soup, peanut butter, rice milk, tofu, lentils, garlic,
rice flour, almond milk, ketchup mustard and assorted condiments,
blueberry jam, cold baked potatoes, butternut squash, grapefruit, sugar
snap peas, salsa, 2 big loaves of grainy bread, hummus, tomatoes,
tahini, miso paste, baby broccoli. Somebody stop me.
The freezer is another matter.
AND the French door style is poifect. It's such a pleasure to
have everything at eye level. And though just 3 or so cubic feet bigger
than my old fridge, everything I just brought back from market fit in
beautifully without getting buried in the back.
No more digging into hidden tunnels as my old side-by-side had me
do. Not to diminish my old fridge, she served us well! Yet if you're
making the decision on fridge style yourself, if you are a veggie lover
like me, I vote for Frenchie.
Plus what better way to celebrate my brand-new Certification in
Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University? I just finished all
course requirements! Yay! More on that later.
And tell me about YOUR adventures in refrigerator land. Anything to add to my experience? Please share in comments on the blog!
