Wow a week from tonight I will have weighed in, gotten my measurements, done my workout and I will be writing my blog with a nice glass of Chardonnay in my hands. Less than a week left after tonight, we are now counting down the last days. I think it's time to start reflecting on what I have learned in the past 23 days.
One thing is: The food we buy is full of crap. I was so surprised when I started to read labels at the grocery store. We already talked about the lemon juice, but there are so many other things that have more preservatives and fillers. It is shocking when you start to realize what kinds of things the manufacturers put in your food. Good Morning America did a story on this very topic this week, it is very interesting so I am attaching the link to he story.

We all need to be aware of what we are putting in our bodies. I don't think we have to go to the extreme of the whole 30 program where you restrict yourself from eating certain foods. I think there is nothing wrong with eating cheese, yogurt, a little chocolate, you just have to be smart about it. Once you have an understanding of what is in the food that you are buying you can make better more informed choices.
Dark Chocolate, black coffee, and wine all good choices in my book.
