Perimeter, Perimeter, Perimeter!

When grocery shopping, keep one thing in mind! On the off chance that you might find good, slightly healthy things in the middle isle of your grocery store - all the good foods, will be found on the outside perimeter of your grocery store. If you think about most packaged foods, found in the middle of your local market, the reason that most are packaged, is due to harmful fats, and chemicals that allow them to stay packaged for so long. In order to find a healthy well-balanced meal, doing the majority of your grocery shopping on the perimeter will insure, delicious, healthy foods. Here is a brief "a day in the life of" what I eat in a typical day. You can substitute some of the veggies, change up the protein.. the main sensus here, is the quality of food that you are eating.

- 1 cup/packet of Brown sugar {Health Check} Oatmeal - replace water with a 1/2 a cup of milk-
- 1 bowl of grapes

If you are still hungry after all that food! A healthier choice during a movie, would be low-fat popcorn. Always remember, never eat 2 hours before bed!
