Making a List & Checking It Twice

I’ve decided - enough of this excessive spending, empty calories and inhalation of overpriced junk food. ..I’m going to start packing my lunch from Monday!

Step One – rid the house and office of all junk food.  I’m happy to say this step is complete – the junk food has all been eaten so no more temptation – done and done. 

Step Two – Go grocery shopping this weekend and stock up on the healthy stuff.  I don’t plan to fall for those LOW FAT and LOW CARB labels which substitute sugar and butter with ingredients I can barely pronounce.  I’m convinced these culprits are to be blamed for society’s high obesity levels.  Every other product on the shelf screams out DIET nowadays and yet obesity levels are at their highest.  I’ve recently read our stomachs have trouble digesting these foreign chemical compounds and our brains don’t recognize them either, which leads to over eating, excessive cravings and possibly pimples.

My mantra for the next couple months will be - the less processed the better.   I’ll stalk up on fresh fruits, veggies, nuts, whole wheat bread, plain yogurt, cheese, lean meats like turkey breast, tuna, chick peas, natural peanut butter, quinoa (where do I even get that besides Aroma?).  And of course dark chocolate – so my body doesn’t shut down from the sudden dip in sugar levels.  Sounds like a pretty boring lunch hour – but let’s see how it goes.

Let me know what else you think I should put in my cart...
