Well, in gluttonous fashion, I enjoyed way too many Christmas goodies and am using today to "right" my system before jumping into Day 1 of P90X tomorrow.
What I can't get over is how BAD I feel -- not guilty, but SICK -- no energy, depressed, achy, and generally awful. Nutrition has such a large impact on our bodies, and this is a great lesson about why it's important to eat healthy most of the time. I think my body is interpreting all the cake, candy, waffles, etc. as poison that it cannot use to operate at my maximum capacity.
Needless to say, I am actually happy to switch back to egg whites and oatmeal today. And I did a medium intensity workout (Cardio X for any P90X fans) just to get my endorphins going and flip the switch from "lethargy" to "active". Tomorrow I've got a monster workout -- Chest and Back (translation: lots of push-ups and lots of pull-ups), which I'll do in the morning, followed by the beginning of my 20-week marathon training plan (a 3-mile run that I hope to complete during my lunch hour).
In the meantime, I'll be soaking in the remaining hours of my Christmas vacation. I hope you're enjoying yours too!
