Progress just keeps happening
Yesterday was my daughter’s birthday. She wanted to go to Cracker Barrel. I had a protein bar and banana before going. I’m so over cravings now that I have reached a point where I’m not even tempted to eat out because I don’t want to be thrown off balance. My health has so improved in such a short time that I now view food as a medicine. Even my now four year old daughter asked me to make sure there was no gluten in her order because she feels so much better. When a kid turns down pizza,you know she means business!
When I got home, I treated myself to a gluten free pizza….plus a piece of my daughter’s carvel ice cream cake. I was shocked because it tasted like a chemical pie. Something has definitely changed because I never remember their cakes tasting that crappy. In fact, it was the only birthday treat I liked because I wasn’t too fond of cake. Maybe it always tasted like crap, and I’m only noticing it now because my diet is clean and natural.
I got my lifting workouts streamlined down to thirty minutes thanks to my understanding the importance of intensity. The only mistake I made was taking a yoga class after working out my shoulders…not a good idea! But I’m glad I did because I’ve noticed I’ve neglected my flexibility. My side bends were pretty pathetic. I’m going to add three days of yoga a week again because I don’t like being stiff…in body as well as in mind; LOL.
This week I purchase 2.5 lb. magnetic weights. I’d rather advance poundage in smaller increments as I prefer not to lift heavy. Flexing and pausing on the positive has really worked well for me, and wow…do I feel the burn!

Smart move eating before you go!
Interesting about the cake. I had the same exprience with a beer the other day. I have pretty much stopped drinking and had one the other day and it wasn’t anything like I remembered it to be.

Isn’t it strange when you realize it was all just a matter of conditioning. I had a similar sensation with smoking. A part of me wonders whether I should give up coffee and see if something similar happens.
