I have been so tired lately and I truly believe my diet needs to change. When I first started living a healthy lifestyle I made a huge change in my diet. I stopped eating fast food, greasy foods, and found new healthy ways to cook. However, I did not really limit my sugar intake. I love sweets and candies but my body does not! Especially since I am running a lot more than I ever have in my life! My daily nutrients consist of about 50% Carbohydrates 15% protein and 35% fat! That fat is coming from sugar and as a runner I need to have 60% Carbohydrates and 20% Protein. The fats and oils should be coming from the protein and complex carbs like fruit not the sugar intake. It is time to limit treats to a "treat" mentality. It is a special food that comes only so often. Sad to see it go but I am looking forward to a lot more energy.
I will be starting my detox plan tommorow and it will be 7 days long. Ugh!!!! I hate this part. Such torture! I guess its the price we pay for all the junk food we eat. I have created my own plan fit to my body and my needs. I will share the plan once I have finished the detox. I am curious to see what kind of results will come. I have always followed a premade plan, so this will be very interesting. Will power is key and lets hope I have it. My husband is no help with his candy and junk food! I want more energy, I am so tired of being exhausted! I am 25 years old, there should be no reason that for me to be so unhealthy and tired. It is time to make a change and I can't wait for it to happen! :)
Happy Monday
