Check Your Fuel Gage

While you'd never put sugar in your gas tank, many of us put junk into our bodies on a regular basis and then wonder why we don't have the energy to get through the day. 

While training for the World Championships, I made myself eat healthfully because it was very obvious that my physical and my mental shape depended upon it. After I retired, however, I developed a weakness for junk food, despite the fact that it made me feel sluggish and fatter. I was stuck in a negative behavioral pattern only I could resolve.

Then, after consciously making myself aware of the issue I concluded that I'd only been addressing half of my fitness dilemma. Besides focusing on exercise, I also needed to eat more wisely accordingly to my daily activity expenditure and find a way to relax through meditation and relaxation techniques.

Now I give in to my junk food cravings only one day a week, and my body feels and looks much better. Eating to sustain life rather than living to eat our problems away is a much better solution to create harmony in life.
