My first thought out of bed this morning is that I need to get into a healthier routine. I took a nap from 6-8p last night then didn't go to sleep again until after a midnight snack of pizza that has left my stomach and body feeling heavy. I keep hearing Chef AJ's voice in my head saying "If it's in your house, it's in your mouth." Truer words have never been spoken when it comes to a processed food addict. I say processed food addict instead of just food addict because I don't find myself craving fruits and veggies which tells me I'm not really hungry, something else is happening which I think is a mix of habit and miniature devils in my gut craving crap! I must find a way to rewire my brain and help the healthier microbes crowd out the ones that are trying to destroy my body for their own satisfaction. I'm starting by checking out Dr. Mullin's Gut Revolution book. I recently took a chemistry class which turned out to be more of a nutrition class where I learned about how important gut flora is to health. It surprised me to learn that this bacteria controls everything from our physical health to our moods.
I also need to shop smarter and speak up about junk food not being brought in the house which is easier said than done, but these past few days where I have failed miserably at abstaining from sugar, oil and salt, has proven that nothing will change until the crap is out of the house and I stop feeding those gut devils!
