I am so fortunate that my wife Sara cooks healthy food for our family. Sara’s cooking makes a huge difference not only on my waist line but also in the way I feel. Sunday I thought it would be okay to eat soft pretzels, pizza, cheese, soda, etc. I know you can eat anything in moderation, but unfortunately that’s not what I did. Right before the game I started to feel heavy and lethargic from eating white flour. So I did what anyone would do—I ate more crappy food.
Monday morning I took Nancy’s 90 minute SS class. By dancers pose I could feel the junk coming out of my body. My breathing was short. I felt weak and nauseous. I had been feeling so good while doing this yoga challenge until Monday morning when I experienced the negative effects of food. I didn’t even drink any beer! This feeling was completely induced via eating processed food. We truly are what we eat, drink and think. We are constantly recreating ourselves moment by moment. While in Costa Rica I ate so clean. Pura Vida doesn’t serve any processed food and they use no refined flour. By the end of my second week I was really feeling the effects of clean eating and yoga. I am a big believer in moderation and enjoy some processed food yet Sunday I lost moderation and felt the effects of it.
Today is day 35. I took off Saturday and Sunday so today was my 32nd practice. I am getting ready to teach two classes and I am feeling pretty good after my butt whipping this morning. Thank God for yoga and its ability to offer us a fresh start.
