It’s was half marathon Monday for me today!!! I am actually really loving the training this time around. Don’t get me wrong, it’s HOT in the FLA — Even at 5:30am but there is something about this time that’s different… Makes me smile!
HOT and STICKY Halfy! Happy Monday!! Do you follow me on Instagram!!
Check me out – looking disgusting and sweaty hot and sexy after my half marathon Monday!!
Okay, on to the serious stuff…. Breakfast! I had my most favorite-ist (for the time being) breakfast when I got done with my sweaty run. Coconut pancakes topped with PB2, crunchy peanut butter, 1/2 banana, and a side of dried figgy. It was marvelous!! The super simple, 4 ingredient, and filling pancake recipe is here!
I thought this week on the blog I would do a mini-series on grocery shopping — One of my all-time favorite things to do!! It’s kind of a sickness and it never helps the family budget… “We (meaning ME) spent how much on groceries?!?”, says the nicest man alive AKA my husband.
I often get questions about what I look for when I’m shopping. What type of ingredients. What I look for on the nutrition label. If there are any ingredients that I avoid? If I look at the fat content, protein, carbs, sugar, sodium, etc.
That is a complex question to answer and it certainly isn’t a quick one! So, I thought the best way to answer some of these questions is to do a little “Grocery Shopping Mini Series” If you will. Will you?
On this fine Monday I am featuring my “Nutrition Label Reading 101″. They are fairly easy to remember and I hope they help you navigate the nutrition label and grocery store a little easier!
Side Note: With the sugar and fiber tip (#4) – This does not apply to dairy products; they have naturally occurring sugar and usually little-to-no fiber. Just had to add that in!
I hope this helps!! :-)
This was from an event from last fall showing fun, healthy ideas for your cart!
