Fueling Your Body

Do you ever eat something and after you've eaten it feel sick? Or maybe you have just eaten too much and you feel stuffed? Well, in a moment of weakness last night I ate cookies. If it was a Saturday and my Cheat Day the cookies wouldn't have been an issue, but since it was neither I instantly had those feelings of guilt that I talked about here and it affected how I ran today.

Since I have been on my diet I have come to realize just how bad some foods are and that food really is fuel for your body. The day after my Cheat Days I feel sick. My body reacts to the bad food I was eating by making me lethargic or I end up with stomach issues. It makes me realize how important it is to put the right things in my body if I am going to have any chance at being successful in my run or my weight loss.


Try to keep in mind when you're about to eat something, exactly what kinds of things are in it and try to determine if it's good fuel for your body. You'd be surprised at how unhealthy a lot of things really are for you.
