If there is one thing I have learned about how my body works, it's that I am what I eat. I'm sure you can relate. If I eat terribly greasy foods, my stomach feels heavy and gross at the expense of satisfied taste buds. And if I eat fresh and light, I feel good and still satisfied. Now that I have completed the 10 day cleanse, I have realized that I can eat clean and still be satisfied. I do not need all the added junk in order for my stomach to think it's full.
What I have also learned is that I cannot workout and eat bad at the same time. Well I can, but I will not see the results I want to see. The reason is because the body gets its fuel through nutrients in order to function best. If I am working out and still eating poorly, it's not doing anything. My muscles may be sore and I may feel like I'm getting stronger. But what my body craves is the good healthy foods so that it can absorb the nutrients it needs. When there is bad food in the system, it blocks the body's ability to absorb the good things. That is the purpose of the cleanse. To rid the waste in the body and get to a place where the body will be able to absorb good things. It's no wonder I feel so much better. My body is fueled and feeling optimal. Yes, exercise is very important, but you have to learn to eat better. The bad food is what leads to disease and health issues, not the lack of hitting the weight room.

| Spark shake with frozen cherries - Delish! |
Tonight we BBQ'ed chicken and veggie kabobs. We also decided that we could eat these tasty kabobs every. single. night. Oh my delish! Seriously. We had peppers, onion, pineapple, tomatoes and chicken all marinated in pineapple juice, olive oil and seasons. It was a fun way to break the cycle of plain veggies that I eat every day.
I posted this picture just for the cute factor
BE THE BEST YOU.
