Discipline

maintaining a healthy diet requires an extreme type of discipline- you have to ignore your cravings and be able to walk away from temptation!! But anyone can do it- it just depends on how badly you want to acheive your goals in order to turn your body into something much more- a body that is pure and absent from junk and unhealthy foods that can make you feel like crap. The reward is definitly worth the time spent on maintaing a healthy "paleo" diet. Its what your body was designed for- all natural, non-processed foods!! It may seem like hundreds of thousands of years ago that our paliolithic ancestors existed where they hunted and gathered all of their food. But in reality it was not that long at all, and our body and genomes have not changed as much as our food has!!

Before i starting eating a semi-healthy diet and even inbetween my extreme "healthy spells" i would drink at least two cups of coffee 3 to 5 times a week while at work. In this coffee i would dump 3 packs of sweet-n-low as well as two honeynut creamers ... but today, i stand here at work with a natural black coffee with no additives!! Slowly but surely i have disciplined my body to accept this, even if it may not be as tasteful :)

8:00am-lots of bacon that i asked our cook at work to make for breakfast because everything else they had was not aplicable to the diet.

It can be really tough turning down such exciting and delicious looking breakfast foods that are placed right in front of you whenever you are starving ... but it just takes discipline and strong will in order to fight the urge to quickly satisfy your apetite with something that may seem delicious and filling- but is in reality is completely bad for your body! if i can do it, so can you :)

At around 7:30 i headed back to Austin to have dinner with my cousin and her boyfriend- who actually owns a crossfit gym in pearland, Texas. It is located right outside of Houston, called Pearland Crossfit. We went to the Iron Cactus where i had a blacken tuna mixed green salad with vinagerette dressing and pinaple cubes. it was delicious!! i love stepping out of my comfort zone! Work at 7am tomorrow-goodnight everyone :)
