I feel like I owe you guys an explanation on my recent absenteeism. Over the past month or so, I backslid into the "unclean" way of eating. I really can't pinpoint a cause/reason for it. Just apathy I guess. I know there was some stressful issues that cropped up but I hate to lay my blame there, but it could definitely be it. I still tried to eat somewhat cleaner than my previous life, but I still would have ice cream (as good as I remember but I could handle much of it) and milk chocolate. I had some cake too (seeing as how it was available to me 24/7). That last statement is not blame, just a statement. In going through that I realized how much THAT food affected the way I feel, including mood, health, well being, and even body image. I swelled by a few pounds but I felt like I had gained all 75# back. My thinking was foggy and cluttered. Decisions were harder to make. I started to isolate myself again. ... I'm rambling. My point is, don't try to fool yourself into thinking that food doesn't affect everything in your life. It is a drug and should be treated as such. Measured, tempered, and monitored. I know that the information out there in mass is confusing, but is it so hard to believe that the healthiest food for you doesn't come in a package?
Moving on. I had a great second day back at the gym ( crossfitseven.com )! The WOD was brutal, but fun! I left it all out there and I can feel it! I love pushing myself to that point! My body failed and my mind pushed! I can't wait to see what's in store tomorrow! Thanks WOD buddy for the fun and camaraderie! Good luck on your test!
