#110 Eat with Purpose

This week’s challenge is to ONLY eat with two purposes.

• To fuel your body

• To appreciate flavors

Food is good! You can and should absolutely enjoy eating AND you can do this with these 2 purposes in mind.

Food is meant to be fuel for our body. Just as a car needs gas, your body requires good nutritious food to keep it moving efficiently. If you put diesel in a non-leaded vehicle, it will go for a little bit but will destroy your car. That’s exactly what all the junk food / processed food is doing to our bodies. We also have to keep filling up our car, make sure you are eating throughout the day. Don’t save your calories for later. By eating throughout the day you keep your blood sugar from dropping and your metabolism running.

Now I will be the first to admit that I am completely, absolutely guilty of eating all the junk. And I am the perfect example of why you can’t out train a bad diet. I am committed/dedicated to my workout plan, but food…not so much. Therefore, until I change my mindset and have the same commitment as my workouts I will always have “the belly…”. That’s where this week’s challenge is starting.

Now with the “healthy food” it doesn’t taste as good as the junk since it doesn’t have the sugars and other additives. That’s where the second part of the challenge comes in. You can make the healthy food taste good. There are so many recipes out there to choose from. Take a few minutes today to find some recipes that you want to try.

You can do hard things. Let’s start this week.
