The Cost of Healthy Living

Let me tell you something you may need to hear.
Yesterday I was out and about worrying about my clan travelling to see George Strait and taking care of my TO DO LIST.
I was in SHOPPERS. I felt the life starting to drain from every cell of my body. Time access what I need.
How do I slow this freight train down? I have things to do!
I noticed this electrolyte beverage. I am skeptical of any product with HEALTH claims especially those endorsed by a celebrity. Claims are poorly regulated and the unknowledgeable consumer is easily deceived. This drink upon examination seemed good and thought WHAT THE HECK...let's give it a go.
$4.79....you are coming home with me.
I drank it along the way and within 10-15 minutes I felt my body replenished with LIFE.
Mission accomplished...for now.
It made me think of FACEBOOK posts and many conversations I have had over the years with people.
People are frustrated and angry about the prices of HEALTHY food optins when they are out and about.
😮 $4.79 for a drink to restore my electrolytes
😮 $5 plus for a fruit cup
😮 $15 for a salad..and what $5 to add grilled chicken
😮 $2 for a bottle of water
How can one eat better, be healthier in a world that over prices healthy food options?
First of all, your healthy options...most take a lot more PEOPLE POWER to slide in front of you. These items people, businesses have invested in time and higher quality items...they come at a premium.
Second of all...people love to complain and pass blame.
It is my doctor's fault.
It is my job's fault.
It is my family.
It is my past.
You can choose to complain about prices of healthy items or you can see it for what it is.
QUALITY and an INVESTMENT IN YOU.
People make mutliple trips through the Tim Horton's drive thru for their DOUBLE DOUBLE, TRIPLES, ICE COFFEE, MUFFINS, BAGELS junk. Pay over and over and over for it in more ways then one.
But this is socially acceptable.
They will spend $20 on a EXTRA VALUE meal or $7 at Starbucks without a second thought.
Well...Ronald McDonald has never come to my house and told me I need a QUARTER POUNDER. I consume these items and everything because I make the decision.
If you don't like the prices of heathy food optins when you are out then spend that same amount of money of fast food with no nutritional value. Or perhaps, trying planning and pack a healthy meal.
How healthy you are will always be your choice.
So stop using the price of healthy food options for your excuse for not taking care of you.
Your healthy is an investment and it will take planning, effort and perhaps a higher financially cost....but it is worth it.
