The Difference

Day 115

The difference between how I feel when I eat well and move my body and when I don't do these things is mind blowing.

When I eat well, drink plenty of water and exercise...
I feel energized when I wake up in the morning. There is pep in my step. My hair looks healthy. My skin is blemish free. My smile is bright and wide.

When I don't eat well, and replace water with Diet soda and skip workouts...
I feel lethargic and unmotivated. I suffer from headaches. My skin breaks out. I frown and complain a lot and my smile does not exist.

So, If I know all of these things then why or how in the hell do I let a week like last week happen? I don't know. What I do know however is that bad behavior begets bad behavior. The buck stops right here. RIGHT now.

Tomorrow, I leave for Maine. I'll be flying pretty much all day. But, I have a plan.

Meal One: at Home -  Protein shake as usual.
Meal Two: in Charlotte - Almonds and Craisins
Meal Three: In Boston - Fish and Vegetables at Legal Seafood
Meal Four: In Presque Isle - Almonds and Craisins
Meal Five: at Hotel in Limestone - Grilled Chicken, Salad and potato
Meal Six: Ready to Drink Shake (that I plan to pick up at Walmart in Presque Isle)

As for the rest of my week. There is a fridge in my room. I plan to stop at the grocery on my way to the hotel and take care of all of my mid meals. Lunch will likely be packed or a daily trek to Subway. Dinner will be at the hotel, which also has a fitness facility. I think I'm in pretty good shape.

Just pray my luggage doesn't get derailed. :)

Cheers!
