Fuel Up!

You wouldn't fuel your car with bad gas, so why do you fuel yourself with bad gas? Yea, I'm even funny in the morning.

Some days I feel like crap.

Then I think about what I ate or didn't eat that day or the day before. I don't know about you but my body will turn on me if I fuel it with bad gas. Believe me, if I eat fast food...I'll be sorry in an hour or so and regret it for the rest of the day and into the next. I can still function, I just have to put forth the extra effort and pray a bathroom is near. A little too much information? So sorry, but I'm sure a lot of you are in agreement with me and can relate.

If I eat processed, junk, fried or high sodium foods (just to name a few), my body hits the reject button. What's a girl to do? Well this girl has learned to comply and provide her body with the best fuel possible, which includes not over eating, eating only what my body needs, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and removing toxic things from every day living.

Eating only what my body needs? What does that mean? I find that if I eat unprocessed, organic, semi raw (except meat) foods my body is happy. Don't get me wrong, I love doughnuts and sweets, I just know I'll be sorry if I have more than just a rare bite.

I know that if I eat nitrite containing meats, aspartame or drink soda pop, I'll get a headache.
Listen to your body, fuel it properly. Don't go on a diet, change your diet. Eat healthy, and respect yourself and your environment. Do the same for your kids, teach them early to love and respect themselves and their body type.

I know what you mean. There's nothing worse than bad gas. Bad gas kept me up the other night. ( I SO wish I was joking.)

Jeve, Did it ONLY keep you up because the fumes over took Lucy and the other half of Jeve? Gas mask please.
