Judging from the amount of people that I witnessed in the gym today, I am guessing that the majority of you have made some sort of fitness resolution. My cardio class was PACKED this morning...so it was motivating to teach this class today! We should all resolve to achieve our goals this year, no matter what they are. I see it every year- people motivated and ready to take on the world in January. By May, they are simply burnt out. By the following January, they are making the SAME resolutions that failed them in years past. Why?!?! That is why I am urging you to resolve to change your mindset. To keep realistic goals in reach, go SLOWLY! And PLAN! So, your first step of that planning process is to grocery shop, as I discussed with you earlier. It doesn't have to take a long time, but I promise you will feel better once you do!
Here are some grocery shopping tips and hints:
1. Make a list. What do you want to eat and have time to prepare during the week?
2. Don't grocery shop when you are hungry. You will be more likely to pick up things that you normally crave but are trying to stay away from.
3. Shop around the parameter of the store. If you notice, meat, fish, veggies, fruit, dairy and most non-processed foods are located AROUND the grocery store. Once you start to venture down the aisles, you will notice that most highly processed, unhealthy foods are located here.
4. Find a healthy alternative to your favorite cheat meals and splurges.
