Health on a Budget

In adapting a healthy lifestyle, I've done more than simply committ to a workout plan. I've also become mor concious about what I put into my body. That's not to say that passed up the oatmeal cookies I made tonight... Oatmeal is healthy right... However, I've also become much more aware at the increasing total on my grocery bill. While eating healthy and living a health concious life style seems to be "all the rage" in pop media, the healthy choices in stores seem to be the most costly as well. It's become popular to be healthy, and healthy food has answered the demand of the masses. You can find healthy choices on a,most every aisle at the grocery store...at a heafty premium. For instance, I could buy healthy green beans for $1.25/lb or an entire bag of frenchfries for the same price. It almost appears that if you want to eat healthy, you have to be willing to pay for it. You all know what I'm talking about too. It's as if my wallet cries a title as I we down the health food aisle, and heaven for it if I need vitamins. I committed myself to a healthy lifestyle, but I didn't realize that I was committing to increased costs as well.

Thus, this week, I'm on a mission to reduce my grocery budget, and still have healthy meals and snacks for my husband and I for the entire week. I'm working on my grocery list tonight and will go shipping in the morning. I am determined to stick to my healthy lifestyle and my budget!
