Will Power is Crucial Grocery Shopping!

Seriously, will power when grocery shopping forces will power at home. Reaching health and fitness goals is honestly around 80% diet and 20% exercise. 




Little story for case and point: Last night I was CRAVING (I am almost 37 weeks pregnant, so it was pretty strong) something sweet and sugary, like a brownie with ice cream, haha. But we don't have anything like that around the house, so I had a grapefruit instead. And while not as indulgent or satisfying as a brownie a la mode, it satisfied my sweet tooth and I got the extra vitamins and nutrients from the fruit and didn't put a bunch of sugar into my body. I didn't have the will power to resist last night but our fridge and pantry really only have healthy food, so I didn't have to exercise much will power . My mojito inspired Shakeology shake helped too - my new favorite recipe .

Just a little tip, don't buy it if it is unhealthy or super processed. I will often look at the nutrition label when I am feeling naughty at the grocery store, which usually causes me to put it back on the shelf and not in my cart!
