I was working out this morning, and I thought to myself, ‘man, I feel skinny today.’

So let me explain, some people may say, you’re always ‘skinny’- a word I loathe actually. I don’t want to be skinny, I want to be healthy and fit. Calling someone skinny is just as bad as calling someone fat in my book. But that’s another story for another day perhaps.

Anyway! This past week I’ve kind of been eating what I wanted, not being really strict with my nutrition. I’m talking cereal and cupcakes, chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy. OK so maybe that doesn’t sound super horrible. But, it made me FEEL that way. It made my mind automatically think, man I’m fluffy, I feel like a bubble butt, I look like crap! “I’m fat!” BLECH!

So I said ok, I’m going back to eating according to my nutrition plan this week. And I did.

And you know what happened? My brain switched to- ‘alright, ok, I don’t look so bad in these workout shorts, hey there baby(Bryan) how YOU durin’!?’ I felt good about myself again, after simply ONE day of eating good healthy foods. The way I looked at my body was different. I felt GOOD in my skin, I felt kinda sexy!

The brain is a funny thing isn’t it? How quickly my mind shifted when I started eating things I knew were healthy and made my body run efficientely, versus just eating because it looked good or because I wanted it.

To sum it up simply:

eat well- feel sexy

eat crap- feel crappy.

BAM!
