Healthy Eating...simple?

So i'ts 2 weeks until my holiday and although I know I'm not going to achieve the ultimate beach body I do know theres enough time to at least loose a few pounds. Usually I just cut out a food group or just eat fruit and veg or sometimes I even just drink liquids however this time I took a different approach. As I have recently started doing 'Insanity' I thought I'd take some inspiration from the nutrition plan they provide. So, as I selected some of the items to eat I constructed a shoppping list however when I got to the supermarket I realised just how uneducated I was when it came to food!!

So usually I go shopping when I'm hungry and although intend to bring home fruit, veg, cereal etc 90% of my trolly consists of micro curries, pizza and doritos! This time however I was all set with my list and entered Tescos feeling pretty positive. However 5 minutes later having not written my list in any type of order I was bumping into people every 2 seconds as a result of staring at my list totally clueless. 

So there I am standing in the middle of the isle googling things such as 'cantaloupe' (which I just had to type into google again to spell!) and 'melba toast' as I realised I didn't even know what type of food they were! Then after walking from one end of the shop to the other and back again repeatedly finding the items on the list, I then find myself serching google images for 'whipped cream cheese' and 'low fat swiss cheese' as not being able to find them I thought I'd try and match the illustrations. After looking for Swiss cheese in what I realised was the Polish section for about 5 minutes (assuming I was being silly as Swiss cheese is from Switzerland??) I decided the remaining items musn't be in stock  and tottered off to the checkout. When I got there I was impressed by my shop but then reaalised I'd been in the shop for over and hour!! (That was without my usual saunter around the magazines, toiletries and clothes section).

So with my shopping completed with items such as cantaloupe, wholemeal pitta bread, wholegrain crackers and cottage cheese I cant say I'm as excited about eating it as a spicy chicken pizza but at least I'll not be bloated and hopefully loose a few extra pounds before my holiday!
