Boy Am I tired!

Here I am on day 3. I had a pretty good day yesterday, and stayed on track. My 3 meals were similar to day one. I didn’t have ice cream but I did have a ‘chewy’ granola bar. Seriously, I don’t know why anyone would ever imagine that this kind of thing is healthy! It’s a bunch of oats and rice crispies glued together with honey and other sugar sticky gooey semi-solid crap and then dipped in "yogurt" which is what the fast food producers call frosting these days.

Anyway, I digress! Today I am tired and I don’t really know why I didn’t sleep well last evening. I feel vaguely unwell, which is not really like me. Although I have read about people experiencing a ‘depression’ kind of feeling when they cut back drastically on the refined flours and sugars etc. I didn’t have anything processed or refined at all yesterday except for that gra-candy-nola bar. That is pretty dramatic for me. Maybe my body is rebelling against all of that raw natural healthy food.

Anyway, I did my exercises yesterday… stretching, 20 minutes on the stationary recumbent bike, and some upper body exercises with the lightest weights I have (2 lbs). I am still kind of sore today but in a good way. A way that tells my body I actually did something yesterday. I haven’t exercised yet today though, and I want to get to it before I put it off and then find an excuse to not do it at all.

So back to the ‘depression’ thing. I have found an answer to the ‘deprivation’ I feel and the associated ‘down’ feeling from denying myself the food pleasures I am used to. It’s a healthy chocolate product that comes without guilt. It is actually recommended that you consume AT LEAST 3 pieces a day for ‘optimum health effect’.

3 pieces of chocolate daily for HEALTH!

Hmmm Imagine THAT! I am going to write an article but in the meantime you can get a sneak peek and order some healthy chocolate by visiting    ChocolateDaily.com. If it is too much of an effort for you to eat chocolate every day on a healthy eating plan then this probably isn’t the blog you should be reading! hehe

In all seriousness, cocoa has been shown recently to be packed full of antioxidants and other really good for you things. It also stimulates a "feel good" release of natural brain chemicals. Some scientists believe this has something to do with serotonin. It is the processing that makes it so awful for us. All that added fat and sugar, and all that cooking the LIFE out of it makes it something that harms our health. Hmmm sounds like US doesn’t it? Taking nature’s bounty and turning it into a Big MAc! 

Anyway, I don’t care WHY this particular chocolate is good for you. I am just glad someone showed me this early on so I don’t have to SUFFER needlessly! :-)

So I am off to exercise now. I will be back, hopefully later today with my chocolate article, and some new changes/improvements to the website.

Many Blessings,

Shelley
