Today I was (still am) in "town" re-stocking food & etc for the week and I started having fun remembering all the little things the classes and articles I've read recommend to keep you active.
Things like:
-Park farther away from the store and walk
-Use a basket instead of a cart to do your grocery shopping (when you don't have much to buy) <--- this is something I personally do because not only does it work my arms but it also keeps me conscious of the amount of food and etc I buy. It gets heavy fast!
-Make sure you read the labels and don't just focus on fat but calories as well
-The healthiest things are usually found on the outer walls and the more processed foods are usually in the aisles, so shop the outside first
-Don't go to the store hungry. (LOL <--- I downed a bag of trail mix right before going in to the grocery store)
The rest are just things I personally try to remind myself:
-Smile at the grocer and they'll help you choose a melon or similar
-Be sweet with the cashier (especially when the cashier is the manager) and they can use their "prefered card" for you when you don't have one and save you $5
-Lift at the knees not at the waist
-Run away from cheese!
-Don't ask for help to your car and instead show how awesome you are at carrying 5 bags of groceries and 2 gallons of water on your own to the back of the parking lot WITHOUT a cart (Oh Yeah~)
LOL..
Ok that's all. Just having a fun day at the grocery store.
What fun and healthy thing did you do today?
love

Great list! I had a fun play session with my pup today - we played "tag", and the dog wins every time, lol.
