Day 10

I find that the more tired I am, the more I crave processed foods. When I wake up in the morning, all of the things I've planned out for my meals sound delicious and fulfilling. However, by the end of the day, my clean diet seems rather spartan, and even though my stomach is full, my mouth is less than impressed.

I need to keep in mind that food is fuel. Food is not an end, but a means to keep my body healthy and my mind focused during this last semester as an undergraduate. Sometimes that is difficult to keep in perspective. Hopefully with time, that will change.

It's only been 10 days and already I've noticed changes in how I feel physically. I really believe that this sort of lifestyle is something I can sustain for the rest of my life, and if so, I think it will help make me a more organized, productive, and overall happier person.
