Eating With a Purpose

May sound corny, but Detox Diet Day #1 has brought me to a new level of consciousness. Not that I haven’t done this before, or that I haven’t spent a number of years over my life now dieting in some shape or fashion. On this day, Labor Day 2010, it is concrete to me that food no longer rules my life. Food is my fuel, my means to achieving my goal. I can be proactive in my food choices, which make my job in the gym so much easier—my gym work is then icing on the cake. On the flip, I can be reactive to unwise food choices causing me to spend endless hours in the gym, wearing myself down so much that I no longer look or feel vibrant. I choose to eat with a purpose, to eat what I need to, when I need to do so to bring me to the success level I envision.
