It’s the first full proper week in January, and for those of you starting off for the first time, or the 30th time, the essentials need to stay the same.
If you are the one who is responsible for the shopping in your household, then you need to make a statement of intent in terms of what you need to do.
If you go to the supermarket, shop locally or shop online, then you have a great opportunity to make sure all or least most of the food and drink coming into your household is mostly natural and fresh where possible.
There will probably be a massive difference between this week’s shop and the one you did in the week before Christmas.
The one before Christmas will have made you feel terrible eventually, the one you make this week should enliven you again, build some really strong foundations for your immune system again, and really set in stone the back up system you’re going to need for a far more active January!
A good way to plan your shop is write down a lot of the meals you intend making as part of your new healthy regime, and buy accordingly. This takes needless waste out of the equation.
If you are truly serious about getting into shape and getting healthy, then please stop making excuses to yourself. This includes “reasoning” that you can still buy lots of treats as you will “never eat them”, YOU WILL!!
Stop buying the alcohol because it will be so tough not to have “the odd glass that turns into two”.
This week is about taking away the temptations away again, so you’re not so easily tempted.
This week is also about giving yourself every chance of success, and it all starts with your biggest shop of the week for the essentials in life that will eventually shape the way you look and feel.
