Ageless Energy

Here we are with another 5 tips in 5 minutes! Today's topic is tips to save time in the grocery store. We all know what it's like to be crunched for time. Many skip the grocery store all together and hit the drive through, so understand you're doing a good thing by taking the first step and making time to go in the first place.

In this show I'll give you my top 5 tips to save time so you can utilize your time in other places, hopefully working out or even in the kitchen.

Top 5 Tips!

Check inventory at home -fridge, cupboards, pantry, fruit bowl, etc.

It's important to check your home before you leave the house to get groceries.

Make a grocery shopping list

Always make a list before you go and bring the list with you to the store so you know exactly what to purchase.

Know what you’re going to purchase before you get there

This goes along with the first and second tip. Make sure you know what to purchase before you get there.

Stay away from aisles you know you shouldn’t be going down - chips, ice cream, etc. Some aisles I’ve never gone down.

No need to go down the aisles you know you shouldn't be. Avoid those aisles, and stick to your grocery list.

Never go grocery shopping on an empty stomach

It's always a good idea to have something in your stomach so you aren't tempted by sugar, fatty foods that look and taste good.

Here's what you should be staying away from after a workout.

Sports drinks

Stay away from highly toxic sports drinks like Gatorade, Powerade, etc. Anything that doesn't seem to have an expiration date, highlighted colours, and more all have preservatives, additives and toxins our body doesn't recognize, utilize and absorb.

Which means these products do more damage than good.

Chocolate milk goes under the same category. There's usually refined sugar in chocolate milk, now I don't know where this idea came from but I've heard it numerous times. You definitely don't want to put anything in your body that will cause more hard (like refined sugar).

I wouldn't recommend coffee before or after a workout either because of dehydration.

Fast Food

I know this sounds like a given but I have actually heard people talk about hitting the drive through on the way home from the gym. And just because it's not the drive through doesn't mean it's not fast food or what fast food represents rather.

Put quality nutrients in your body after a workout and make sure you have a meal planned at home so you're not temped to hit the drive through. More on processed food here.

Not Eating 

Have nothing in your body is as dangerous as putting low quality in. Now I'm not saying you should put anything in your body just so you're not, not eating. But it's important to fuel your body properly and replace the nutrients there were lost and burned off during a workout.

No need to think, 'if I have anything after my workout, this workout will go to waste'. Not the case, replenish you body after a good workout.

Don't go crazy on 'what'

It's easy to obsess on 'what' we should eat after a workout and with all the controversial information out there it's no wonder. Remember to focus on quality, put some quality nutrients in your body and don't focus on 'only protein' for example.

Focus on good quality nutrients after a workout and you'll be helping your body heal. Which is exactly what you want to do.

Stay away from post workout powders 

This goes for post workout powder and protein powders as well. Read the ingredients, pay attention to everything you're putting in your body not just one substance (protein content for example). Many times we put toxins in our body not realizing it because we're only focusing on one thing.

For a better quality protein look at Complete Truth Protein.

With out a doubt, eating healthy is stressful. Now I know what you’re thinking, most people would tell you eating unhealthy is stressful on your mind and body. I wouldn’t disagree with that, but I also very well understand that eating healthy is stressful as well.

We have friends, family, co-workers and more that make it difficult for us to make healthy decisions. They give us a hard time, they feel left behind, possibly feel disrespected all by the choices we’re making for our own body. Doesn’t seem right does it?

Why should someone be offended by a choice we make for ourselves? Why should someone feel the need to make fun of us just because you want to eat healthy in the lunch room? All questions and many more a whole lot of people ask themselves (and me) as they feel more stress when trying to eat healthier.

So now that we have addressed and know that eating healthy causes stress, how can we reduce that stress of eating healthy? I've listed my top 3 suggestion below that are sure to help!

So now that we have addressed and know that eating healthy causes stress, how can we reduce that stress of eating healthy?

#1. Let people know

The absolute best thing you can do for yourself when reducing stress is letting your friends, family, coworkers and more know about the healthy decisions you're trying to make.

Ask the for help, ask them to keep you accountable. Whatever it is, invite them in on this healthy journey of yours so they don't feel left out, so they don't feel left behind and so they're not insulted when you don't eat their food or no longer want to come over for dinner.

#2. Don't let excuses get in your way

It's easy to say, there's too much information, I don't know where to start, what should I eat, when, etc. The truth of the matter these are all excuses to not move forward in eating healthy. It's easy to eat unhealthy, it's easy not to prepare your food, to skip workouts, to avoid the whole situation by saying some of the things I just listed.

Reality is, all those are excuses. So find solutions instead, take one small step and put one foot in front of the other as you work towards living a healthy lifestyle.

#3. Make a conscious decision

Do this for yourself, do this for your family, set a good example for your children, wake up energized and ready to take on the day instead of dreading another day. Choose, choose yourself, make a decision that today and every day after you're going to live a healthy lifestyle, that you're going to work toward changes to improve your health and make every decision afterwards to back up this decision.
