Last Saturday, my nutrition guru friend took me on a guided grocery shopping tour. We went to Wal Mart and SAMs so she could teach me to make healthy choices in the places that I shop. You see, I have had so many people tell me I need to go to Fresh Market or Ozark Natural Foods to truly eat right. My friends passion is to teach people to shop and make healthy choices in the store they live in. During our time together, she introduced me to veggies I have never heard of, taught me how to read labels, shop the perimeter of the store, and gave me awesome recipe ideas. Now, I have heard much of this info before... I am a college educated woman after all. But now with a life changing diagnosis, I am actually listening. We do that dont we? We know what we need to do, we have heard it all before, but until we are forced to change, often we dont. Sad. Well, I have my listening ears on now! My friend taught me how to purchase healthy nitrate free lunch meat for my kids, healthy cereal, even organic bacon! I bought organic nuts, organic coconut oil, and organic chicken breasts at SAMs. Which were amazing by the way! We had them for dinner last night. Hands down no comparison to regular chicken breasts. Try it- I dare you! I keep telling myself to take it one day at a time. So much to learn, so much to change. But I am ready. I have my listening ears on! Diabetes will NEVER define me!
