On Saturday I had a Blizzard, and it made me feel like sh*t. My stomach hurt and later, when I was in the shower, I sort of felt grossed out that I had eaten it. THAT is where I need to get with it, and I feel like I'm pretty damn close! 
Have a good week, y'all!! |
Glad you are listening to your body. It is a wise wise amazing gift from G.d. Something a friend posted on facebook made sense to me:
Eat Less CRAP
C - Carbonated Drinks
R - Refined Sugar
A - Artificial Sweetners & Colours
P - Processed Foods
Eat More FOOD
F - Fruits and veggies
O - Organic lean proteins
O - Omega 3 Fatty Acids
D - Drink Water
It is a handy little reminder and keeps it nice and simple.
This evening I go to a group therapy, a friend puts on here. She is a health/wellness educator exercise physiologist psychologist - she keeps adding to her resume, I think she is on her like 2nd PhD now. Anyhows, very inspiring and motivational group. Cheap too, which works for me. Most here have lost several hundred pounds and are maintaining. Some have had surgery, some haven't.
She always makes several great points. Keeping it very simple, which always works for me.
Sleep
Hydrate
Eat
Exercise
gotta love that, no?
She also makes sure we take a few minutes to breathe deeply, which she explains how this effects your brain chemistry giving immediate results for your health and wellness. Love all the talk of serotonin and dopamine receptors. I get my science fix and someone I can talk to that gets me and how my brain works, literally.
and...
Love her and her flashy red cowboy boots!
