The path that I have walked...
So it begins again. I have gotten off track. I have not been eating foods that help me be my best. Instead, I have been eating the foods that cause me to gain weight and have autoimmune flare-ups. Foods that have a good PR team. They tell me “I love desserts they are such a treat” “I worked out today how could that possibly hurt” “It’s gluten free that makes better.
Lies!
I actually love feeling good without joint pain and eczema without the frustration of being overweight. I love feeling lighter and more agile at the gym. I LOVE many things but not sugar! It that never delivers what I have been conditioned to believe it will. Satisfaction, comfort and contentment. No none of those things have ever happened with sugar, at least not for long. I truly believe sugar consumption is a major contributor of many modern diseases.
It does matter that I don’t eat the “thing”. If I want the hard work of going to the gym to really bring benefit to my body I need to fuel it properly. My body cannot heal, build muscle, and achieve the benefits of exercise without good nutrition.
Treats that are “gluten-free” still have sugar and grains and flours all that still spike blood sugar without nutrient density.
All these and many more lies we all tell ourselves have crept back into my life. I need to be restored. Restored to the truth and to gace.
So here are my guidelines as I have learned to will help me be my best physically, mentally and spiritually.
No sugar
No alcohol
Movement most days
Practice morning and evening routines
Stay away from foods that don’t serve me
Stay within my personal carbohydrate intake limit
Simple just not easy.
Here I go! This is my plan for the next 90 days.
Godspeed!
Whenever I begin dialing in my diet again there are several different ways it tends to go. One that I feel nervous, anxious and not in control or something like I spend all my time beating myself up telling myself “why did you get here again!” and “this is so embarrassing”
This time it's different, I know my body and what it need s to thrive. I just need to be willing to do what is right for me.
