Going Shopping

I've received lots of requests over the past few months asking to see what I eat and what my family is eating on a day to day basis. Although I can't promise every day -- I'll do my best at snapping some pics of what we are chowing down on.

It all starts, of course, with a monstrous trip to the grocery store.

From October 2009

Some things to note: there are not many items that come in boxes. I like the idea and challenge of trying to stay on the outside perimeter of the store to do the majority of my shopping. That would include all of the produce, lean meats, dairy, eggs, etc.

Fit Momma Crystal (my source of many awesome fitness tips and videos) sent this video about this very thing. The only thing unrealistic is that it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to get in and out of any grocery store in less than 45 minutes -- strike that -- make it an hour. Sorry, Crossfit boyfriend, but try juggling a 2 year-old during the grand shopping experience. Now that's a workout!

Think fresh. Raw. Whole food in its most natural state. That's what you are going for.
