bad gas

So, I'm still sitting around waiting for my weight loss/transformation competitions to start. I've worked out once this week and I'm eating horribly...i.e. Hardee's for breakfast! Do you know when the last time I had Hardee's was? Its been forever! Hardee's is so bad! But it tasted so good! I follow a guy on twitter, @petershankman, who put it best the other day. He tweeted 'There's nothing better than the moment when you're still enjoying the old behaviors while dreaming of the new you.' He was about to embark on his own transformation. He trained for and completed an Ironman last year...but didn't 'look' like he was an Ironman. This year he is going to lower his body fat percentage to 10%. His blog is http://www.ayeartotenpercent.com/. Check it out...pretty cool guy...very admirable challenge he's presented himself with. Anyway, I say all of this because I am enjoying my old behaviors...to an extent. The food tastes great for short time its in contact with my taste buds. After the taste is gone I feel like crap. My energy level is a fourth of what it usually is. My endurance has plummeted. I have heartburn. My skin and hair even look bad. I'm doing exactly what I know I shouldn't do. I'm filling my tank with bad gas. Just like a car, if you fuel your body with bad gas, its not going to perform at its best. I'm feeling the truth of that analogy as I type tonight. I can't wait to feel the effects of good clean fuel! And I can't wait to see the amazing results from all my hard work!
