I'm a nutritionist - or just about, so I know a little something about food. In fact, I know more than a little something and now all those diet fads, those super food claims, those warnings about high fat foods, refined foods, etc. all make sense. It's a great thing to have learned - but there's one tiny problem. Those high fat, refined, sugary foods sure are yummy! But I've come to realise that when I eat the way I'm supposed to, boy do I have an abundance of energy and a great mood! It makes it all the worse when I eat like crap because I know what's causing it and it's all my fault.
Why don't I eat healthy all the time? Well, just as it's hard to get in the habit of writing a blog every day (and i haven't mastered it, but I'm doing much better), it's hard to get in the habit of eating good, fresh food every day. Especiallly when food is also an emotional tool and that I've been a sugar addict most of my life. But I tell ya, today was a fantastic day and it definitey didn't start out that way. But a healthy breakfast, a good bike ride, a healthier lunch (fresh fruit, fresh salad), definitely helped make my day. My kids were cuter, my outlook brighter, my step lighter. I just have to somehow record it and play it back when I want to grab a donut and an ice cream!
Now I've got so much energy I might just go for another workout!
Ciao
