So I went to the grocery store last night after working out (wahoo! knocked 5 minutes off my mile and I did some time on the eliptical machine... I'm SORE!), and I just had to pick up a few things, and this is what I found:
ALMOST EVERYTHING IN THE STORE HAS SUGAR IN IT!! In some form. I mean, I was trying to get MUSTARD and a balsamic vinegrette... I could not find ONE w/o sugar in it in some form!!! This is disheartening and made me think NO WONDER America is so obese; we are fed a steady diet of sugar unknowingly from the day we are born! Pfffpt... I'm making my own salad dressing from now on.
In addition to the sugar issue, companies are getting slick with their marketing. They put "All Natural!" on their packaging, BUT this does NOT mean organic, and sugar is natural, high fructose corn syrup is all natural, A LOT of things are ALL natural. Tobacco is "all natural". Do I want to eat it for dinner? Doubtful.
On a side note, I got on the scale last night..... NOTHING. It did not BUDGE. :( I am trying to not let it get me discouraged. Also, I bought a pedometer last night and I just set it up a little while ago. The gold standard is 10,000 steps, so that is my goal. I have no idea where I am even at, so I will keep you posted.
