#90days2nudity: what i've learned in 30 days

first of all, let me just say, i can't believe it's already been

30 days past. 

i'm slowly but surely seeing the physical changes of 

all this hard work but more important than that, i'm

seeing the mentality changes in me too.

while it may all sound so monotonous: wake up, eat healthy,

snack healthy, work out, eat healthy, snack healthy, workout again, 

eat healthy, snack healthy and then wish you could eat that bag of cheetos

in your pantry... it now all makes sense to me.

when you start eating healthier, you realize how much

you used to depend on eating as 'something to do'

"oh i'll just hop on the laptop and snack on some

(insert junk food here)" 

"picking up my kids from school, i'll bring some

crackers with me for the road"

oh, this is just me? not you huh.

damn.

well my point is that when you start learning about what

fuels your body and gives it proper energy and what

percentage of those types of food you should be eating, you kinda

start looking at food a totally different way.

yes, the plain and simple, 'oh that stuff has too many calories'

will get you at first, but then you start looking at carbohydrates

and how much of that is actually fibre, not sugar. fats, you'll start

looking at what kind of fat and where its coming from and whether

or not that's a good or bad source. then protein, does it have

too much or too little.

then knowing all of these things makes you want to put together some

awesome meals which i'll share in coming posts.

not only that, i am learning how my body

reacts to certain workouts, where i'm a total bitch (glutes & triceps)

and when i own the gym: (biceps, hamstrings & abs). knowing 

my strengths and weaknesses pushes me to go harder

on my workouts even when i know i'm dreading it.

in the words of bob and jillian (biggest loser) i strive to make

each and every workout a 'last chance workout' and 

make sure that i leave that gym with my heart in my throat

and my body sweaty.

but. if i go back home from that workout

and say to myself "gee you deserve ice cream cuz

you just killed it at the gym" then i'll completely nullify 

everything i worked so hard for at the gym.

while it sounds so tempting to reward all of those

calories burned with something calorie laden, it's

counter productive (duh) and it'll make those pounds even

harder to lose!

60 some odd days left to go..can't wait for the reveal!
