The best thing about this lifestyle for me is the elimination of sugar cravings which translates into the elimination of binges. I have absolutely no desire to binge or eat off track. I've never had this feeling of being in total control of my nutrition. It is so empowering and motivating. I no longer obsess about food. Instead I can focus on what I need to eat to keep me feeling strong, confident, and satisfied. I have been so into my fitness routines to train for performance and I am seeing it.
I took this past week off from work to spend some time with my girls before they go back to school. I set a vacation fitness goal and achieved it by swimming 10,000 yds over 5 days. The best part was having my 11 year old join me in the pool 3 of the 5 days. She has really blossomed in her swimming this summer, even earning the Coaches Award for her swim team. We raced 100 yrd freestyle twice this week and I lost both times. Perhaps with additional training, I can eventually take her. Maybe not, but it will be fun trying!
