Food Label Reading |
In doing so we've discovered first hand a few Do's and Dont's...since the Dont's seem so negative, I'll just share with you the Do's!
Firstly: DO go grocery shopping on any other day of the week besides Saturday! Especially if it's your first "informed" shopping trip! Most of our time was spent reading labels and searching for just the right products. So if you were there...we apologize we were the one's blocking aisle 7...and 10! Oh...and 14!
Thirdly: DO stick to your list! Be sure to make a list of what you NEED and keep focused! Use blinders if needed! Too many times we buy items that just sit in our cabinets or frig and expire because they really didn't fit into any real plan. Therefore take time to make a general plan of your meals ahead of time. This will not only help keep you on track but will help your *bottom line as well.
*bottom can be alternately used for several meanings!!!
I believe it important when starting anything new in your life, you should take the time to prepare...not only in educating yourself, but also mentally and spiritually and physically if apropos. This weekend is my Prep weekend for my journey which begins Monday. So far I feel I am about half way there and will be fully ready by Monday to start living my Life To Its Fullest and leaving sugar where it belongs...in the dust of my past!
Awesome!! You are one step closer!! It is so great to have someone beside you to support you too. Glad to hear you are moving forward and getting ready!
ReplyDeleteHi Jamie! You are so right! It IS Great!!!
ReplyDeleteyou will learn that the outside aisles of the grocery store are your friend! Fresh, fresh, fresh - not the pre-packaged you find down every inside aisle....
