The Importance of Clean Eating

Many of you have been doing Reshape the Nation for a while now, making it a part of your daily routine.. But what happens when that routine gets squashed by a collision in an automobile? The power of a clean diet can carry you through times when you are not able to work out.. Sounds like a good excuse doesn’t it? Funny thing is, when you are not allowed to ‘workout’ because of an injury (or car accident), you find yourself wanting to get out and sweat more then ever… I hate that! Of course I’m not always motivated when I am able to work out… Only when I can’t! Sheesh, that figures..
The importance of eating clean is recognized when that’s all you have…it’s not like having a reward day and you think,” oh good, I can just work out later.” That is not an option; I’ve sustained neck and rib injuries from my automobile accident, so any sort of jostling won’t do. If all I have is my diet to keep me in my Reshape routine, then that’s what I’ll do!
I went for a walk last night after dinner, wanting so badly to run but didn’t. Without having the option of running, I am uber aware of the food I consume during this time of rest. Oh but it would be so easy to eat the items that give me a piece of mind and comfort me!… But alas, I do know better, so I have to reign in that stomach monster that tells me that I want pizza…. “not helpful stomach, not helpful!”
Since I am not able to work out with Chris Powell, trainer, at this moment; walks and a clean diet will have to do. I am not expending calories as much as I would if I was able to move about, so the caloric deficiency must come from food and food alone. Clean and natural foods in; clean energy burning on the way out…. Practice makes closer to perfect
