Grocery Lists

Make a grocery list before you head to the store. This will save you money and keep you from buying high calorie foods that look appetizing. If you shop when you are hungry, you are more likely to have a cart full of soft drinks, chips, and sweets. By having a list, you are planning ahead, which helps you stay on track to only buy foods that fit into your meal plan. For ideas on healthful groceries to buy, make an appointment with our dietitian, Megan. She is more than happy to help!

Fitness prescription: Walk 25 minutes at a brisk pace. Walk with weights. Pick weights that are appropriate for you at your current fitness level. If you don't have hand weights, use cans of food, carry a heavy book, etc. Be creative. Everything counts, whether you use hand weights or substitute in a heavier object.
