How many calories can you burn shoveling snow? My Blizzard grocery shopping trip!

My shopping trip:

Interesting things I saw that stood out last night while I was grocery shopping:

There was not even 1 bag of white sugar left on the shelves; insulin spikes anyone?

The only bread left was whole grain :)

As I waited in a very long line the young man in front of me kept shopping while his cart maintained its position. Each time he returned he had with him another snack food item; is there any wonder that we have an obesity epidemic in this country?

The least crowded area of the store was produce; I'm not surprised - just concerned.

I would love to hear about your Blizzard shopping experience.

Have fun in the snow and stay safe!

Healthy regards,
Christine Sacchetti
