Smart Choices

Have you ever been out and missed a meal? That starving feeling in your gut and the fogginess in your head from low blood sugar can lead to some bad food choices. I was out picking up some things from Walmart today and had missed breakfast. I was roaming the isles feeling like this.

I was wandering up and down the isles trying my hardest not to just attack any thing that might have a little sugar in it. I got over to their grocery section and saw my salvation. There was a Subway inside, but the bread doesn't fit with a paleo lifestyle. They had an area with a large board above it titled "Quick Meals" which is what my stomach was demanding. But when I got there, it was all microwave pizzas, sandwiches, and other premade, over processed "foods".

The funny thing is, that while I watched plenty of people on their way to a heart attack, gravitate towards these foods, just a 180 turn away the vision looked like this:

So, I turned that direction and made some quick decisions that got my blood sugar back to normal faster than if I had chosen something from the "Quick Meals" section and probably faster than if I had gone to Subway. What I ended up having was some apricots, almonds, and sliced chicken breast (which was my only regret as lunch meat isn't exactly paleo with all the salt and preservatives) But, it was still a satisfying meal with less guilt than anything else I would have done at that moment.

So go out and make some smart decisions because they are plotting against you.
