The past few days I've been cheating quite a bit with wheat and sweets. And this morning, it's like it all clicked. My fingers are the first to tell me what that kind of food does to me. If I've eaten sweets or wheat products the day before, my fingers are ALWAYS swollen the next morning. So much so that I can't get my wedding ring off and when I straighten my fingers, the shaft of them gets white and tips pink.
When you get older, salt affects/effects your body differently than it used to.
And when I have been getting up in the mornings (4:15ish), I have been feeling SO SLUGGISH. I just can't get going at all. Yesterday morning I got up and did laundry, dishes, brushed my teeth, checked FB and STILL went back to bed for 30 minutes just to feel more alert.
When I'm diligent about what I'm eating, I feel GREAT when I wake up. I am missing that feeling of waking up and being ready to go.
These things seem obvious but sometimes it takes me a little longer to catch on when trying to find out the reason for why I feel the way I feel. I forget how much food has to do with it.
So today...back to the grind! I'm having a protein smoothie for breakfast and an apple for a snack. Probably a salad with chicken on it for lunch and some carrots. Or another protein smoothie but with different fruits than breakfast. Oh and green tea...my love!
