Do you sabotage your efforts?
By Christina | January 9, 2009
I was running the other day and I heard this:
When you sabotage your fitness gains by not properly fueling your body, you are mocking yourself. Who wants to be made a mockery of especially when it’s yourself that’s doing the mocking.
I found it interesting because it’s true and my New Years Resolution: Eat better because it’s the inside that matters no matter what the outside looks like. I know, Michael Phelps looks amazing and boasts of a diet high in saturated fats and there are plenty of you out there that believe since he trains to hard he needs that diet but I disagree. I believe that the diet of an athlete or novice exerciser should be a healthy one filled with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, etc. The difference should be the number of calories because clearly someone who works out 14 hours a day needs A LOT more calories than someone who walks a mile 3 times a week.
All that said, do you sabotage yourself or are you fueling yourself properly?
