I have seen on several Pinterest boards that people set a month goal of going without something. For instance the month of January- no pop, February- no fast food, March- no alcohol and so on depending what things you think you need to limit yourself on a little bit. I hadn't found anything because I know if I say a month with no chocolate or candy it's going to be torture and I will not meet the goal. However I do believe that I can eat healthier than what I am and it's only a month, you can do anything for a month right? Isn't that the saying? Oh wait the saying goes you can do anything for a minute which is usually my mantra while running long distances. Well I guess this will be a lot of minutes put together but he I think I can do it!
So I have decided to change it just a little bit. I am going to for the remaining month of July and all of August not shop on the inner isle at the grocery store and I will not get groceries at WalMart or Target- I buy waay too much bad stuff at those super stores.
I feel this will be beneficial because if I want sweets or something I will need to find a healthy alternative in the outside isles which in my mind are filled with more whole and less processed foods. For instance your meat and cheese and fruits and veggies all on the outside of the store. However- I don't know how your Hy-Vee is set-up buy mine has the ice cream isle on the outside near the cheese. Hello to my go-to intense sweet craving- Blue Bunny Personal's -Frozen Yogurt!!
So for those of you that would like to join me on my trip around the grocery store and not through feel free. If you have never heard of this month long challenge that I listed at the beginning- pick a month, pick a pleasure that you indulge in way to much and try to go without it. Let's do this!
