07/01/11 - Nutrition Challenge Day #5 - Here comes the hard part...

Monday – July 4th – We are CLOSED

So, you have done all the leg work.  You went food shopping.  You planned out some meals. You avoided those diet sodas and junk foods.  You feel accomplished already, and it’s only day 5.  Some of you might be feeling like you have more energy already, and that is great. Then the weekend comes.  BAM!  Bars, pizza, late night cheesesteaks (yes, plural), and whatever other garbage you think is going to taste good.  Be honest with your points.  One thing you should note this weekend is, if you cheat, how you feel about a half hour after you eat.  Do you feel sluggish?  Are you already sitting on the toilet?  Try and connect the dots with what foods do what with your insides.  Your goal is to eat as clean as you can, so I am not encouraging poor eating.  All I’m saying is that if you do, make sure you take note of how you feel.  Stay good!
