you are what you eat?? hmmmm....what does that really mean? i guess if i eat doughnuts, i will turn into an enormous, jelly-filled fatty? i think it means a little more than that..
i've had some good days and bad days over the last 4 months since i started p90x. it really is an EXTREME fitness program and i noticed that when my food turned to shit, I absolutely turned to shit as well. talk about shlubbin through a workout and wanting to die. if i ate crap for two days and then tried doing whatever crazy shit tony horton was doin, not only did i feel and look like a stuffed sausage in my workout clothes, but i could hardly get through the 50-minute workout.
someone said to me a few months ago "it's pretty awesome that you have the ability to work and go to school and do p90x." i kinda shrugged it off at the time, but today i do appreciate what an awesome thing it is to have the kind of energy to do all that. i need the right balance of the right foods to really LIVE an amazing life.
once again i am reminded that i don't just stay away from junk food because i want to be thin. i stay away because it really is poison and it doesn't help me get everything i want out of my life. i'm not making any big new year's resolutions. i'm starting with right now. today. this moment. i want to feel good in my skin. it's so rewarding to make sacrifices and go through life feeling amazing. it really is worth it.
happy eating! xo
