Note To Self

I was on a jog last night and was thinking about my rough day (nutritionally speaking)...and an old, scary thought came to mind: "Well, thank goodness I'm exercising since I ate so bad today."

Oh my.

I realized that last year I would think like that all the time! I would make deals with myself... saying that if I ate bad, it would be ok since I was regularly exercising. Or saying...well, if I want that dessert, I shouldn't eat much for dinner so that it would even out.

During my jog, I made a mental block. I don't want to think like that any more! I want to eat healthy. All the time. I don't want to make bets or deals with myself that will, in the end, result in failure.

So... note to self:

I'm exercising to become healthy and maintain a healthy body. I'm researching, purchasing, and preparing nutritious food to fuel my body so that together, I can lead a healthy lifestyle.
