You can do anything for 30 seconds!

Normally what I do when I weigh in i will have a cheat meal or something. Yesterday I went back and forth all day wondering if I should have something or not. My body did not want anything at all but my mind kept on telling me that I should. So finally I decided that I would have a small piece of turtle cheesecake and get on with my week of clean eating. I ate about 3/4 of it and decided it was not good and I didn't even want it. I normally have no issues getting up at 5 or 530 in the morning for my workout. I even look forward to it. Well this morning I felt drugged! Literally. I couldnt open my eyes, I felt like throwing up, I felt dehydrated (I drink TONS of water) in fact at 730am 2 hours later I was still trying to get out of bed! I know this is ALL because of the cheesecake that I ate. I looked at the nutrition label this mornig it had in 160g cheesecake
530 calories
37 g fat
19 g saturated fat
1 g trans fat
31 g sugar
No wonder I felt so gross. This food is poison for our bodies. For years I have felt tired in the morning, I always thought I needed more sleep. What I actually needed was more nutrition. Now that my body is not used to eating this I can sure feel the difference.
So I ended up having to do my workout at 9 after Zoe went to school. Today was plyometrics which I am loving! One thing P90X says is "You can do anything for 30 secs!" Which is true! Plyometrics is lots of different exercises that are 30 secs each. It is super duper hard but so rewarding! Workout done for the day and I am feeling GREAT again!
I am so glad that I had this experience with the cheesecake. Once again another reason why I never want to go back to that lifestyle.
