Day One Hundred and Fifty-One - ClickList

With the type of weekend that we've had (the lack of sleep, the grumpiness, the UK loss, a broken Apple TV Remote, and more) the last thing Bekah and/or I wanted to do was spend an hour walking through Kroger for groceries.  Luckily my beautiful wife is a complete and utter genius!  She remembered that Kroger now has a pickup service called ClickList.  I actually don't mind going to the grocery store and shopping.  In fact, I do it fairly regularly for Bekah.  She creates a list in the reminders app on her phone and then shares it to mine.  This weekend was different.  We were both wiped after a long day yesterday, and B had her up again last night.  So Bekah was proactive and remembered that the pickup fee was waived the first 3 times you use ClickList, and decided to give it a try.  She meal planned and shopped online ahead of time last night.  She chose the time for our pickup this afternoon, and I drove over to get our groceries.  Picking it up was the easiest part.  I pulled into a designated ClickList spot, called the number on the sign, gave the associate my name and the spot number I was in, and they told me my groceries would be out in a few minutes.  Another associate brought my groceries out, took my payment on a tablet, and then loaded my groceries in the back of my vehicle.  I don't think it could have been easier.  Bekah said they even followed her requests for picking out the produce she purchased.

Let me tell you what this did for our Sunday.  I told Bekah to sleep in this morning, and I took E to church.  Because I didn't have to spend an hour at the store, I was able to get my workout in this afternoon.  You see, sometimes we call something convenient when it is simply us being lazy.  Then there are things that are convenient that really free up time for us.  I always hear people say to work smarter, rather than harder.  I don't think we'll use this every time we buy our groceries, but I can see it being convenient for weekends that are a bit crazy.  So for anyone who needs a little convenience in your day, give ClickList a try.  We did and we loved it.  I found a little convenience for today and I'm losing my butter half.

My calories were great today.  Bekah made me a delicious salad with chicken for dinner.  I did have a couple handfuls of surgery cereal for breakfast which is something that definitely isn't part of my balanced breakfast.  Because of ClickList I was able to get a full fifty minutes in on the bike this afternoon!
