Shopping for groceries is a drag...I'm a germaphobe so I'm looking at everything like EWWW! I can't indulge in everything on the shelves like I used to. Every since I started "watching what I eat" grocery shopping is no fun. I spend so much time reading Nutrition Facts only to find it has too much sodium or carbs for me to eat. Oh, don't get me wrong...if I want to eat something I will eat it! It's the guilt that comes afterwards that I'm trying to avoid...its so depressing to over eat and sit like a fat blob on the couch. I hate that feeling!! Soooooooooooo, I'm taking baby steps towards smarter choices...I caught a sale on Tropicana 100% orange juice!! It was only 99 cents plus I had a coupon! YAY! I also bought some cashews, craisins, smoked gouda cheese, peanut butter, grits, salmon, and frozen spinach after taking this pic...Eating before going grocery shopping helps me from throwing stuff loaded with saturated fat and empty carbs into the basket. If I am hungry in the grocery store I buy stuff like chips, cookies and soda everytime. I'm not saying I'm am totally reformed because I've been wanting some Popeyes Chicken with red beans and rice all day! LOL! Maybe I can get some grilled chicken from KFC?!!! hahaha! For now, I'm taking baby steps towards a healthier life....Happy eating! Eat to live! :)

Baby steps...Grocery Shopping!

What are our daily addictions doing to our mid-section?
Can you imagine eating 9 rice crispy treats? They're the equivalent of a Starbucks White Hot Chocolate with whipped cream. A McDonald’s Triple Thick Chocolate Shake will set you back as many calories as 13 McDonald's baked apple pies.
Those drinks might not surprise you; McDonald's and Starbucks haven't exactly built reputations as guardians of your health. But there are others that might.A Rockstar Energy drink, for example, packs the nutritional equivalent of six Krispie Kreme glazed donuts. An Arizona kiwi-strawberry drink? Six bowls of Fruit Loops. And the worst drink in America? Drumroll please...Cold Stone Creamery's PB&C. In terms of fat and calories, you might as well eat 30 Chips Ahoy cookies. And if we're talking saturated fats, the heart-attack-in-a-cup is tantamount to 68 strips of bacon. Go here and see for yourself.
