Nutrition - 11/02

After a horrible weekend of nutrition I felt beat up this morning. Lethargic, heavy, and an overall feeling of yuck. I tried to get motivated and it did happen for me but my body feels gross today. I really need to tighten up my nutrition, especially over the weekend. Starting today, I'm making a change and am going to re-condition my body to not crave sweets. I'm cutting myself off cold turkey.

I've noticed a pattern of eating really well during the week and then just binging on sugar, bread, cheese etc. during the weekend. It has to be pretty harsh on my digestive system and it's taking a tole on my level of fitness as well. Over the past 2 weeks, I've gained about 10 pounds, non of it good weight. But, I know with some discipline and with the way my weight fluctuates, with a month or so of clean eating I can get it back down to where it was/needs to be.

I'm committing to this change. I'm sure I'll slip up every now and then, but I just need to control the amount and I'll be good. When I cheat, I'll follow the "everything is OK in moderation" outlook. Instead of my current, "oh it's a cheat day, better go all out all day" philosophy.

So, I'm starting out with another long fast to try to clean out my system then it's the real deal, only paleo express, and I'm the conductor.
