How's Your Engine Running?

It's interesting to me when you get a new vehicle, it comes with an instruction manual. In this book, it tells you every thing you need to know about the vehicle you have purchased. What type of oil, what type of gas, what type of tires etc...

Have you ever wondered why your body doesn't work like it is supposed too? Have you ever stopped to think about what kind of fuel you are putting into your body?

I have learned over this journey, that if I don't have the right kind of fuel in my body, I feel terrible! My stomach will ache and my head will hurt. But if I choose to put the right type of fuel in my system, I feel better, have more energy and surely can function better.

You can't survive on junk! It is OK to have things in moderation, but not on a daily basis. You will soon find out that if you start to limit or do without some things that you really don't miss them. It is very rare that I eat anything fried anymore..except when on occasion at Chick Fil A that I will eat their fries. I very rarely ever have a soda. I usually only drink unsweet tea or water. I couldn't tell you the last time that I have had a Krispy Kreme doughnut.

When you don't put the right fuel in your system, it's like putting sugar in your gas tank and never changing your oil.

The same also counts for exercise! If you are a couch potato (I have been there) you stay tired! But if you start adding exercise, even if it is only a short walk down the street, you will notice that you have more energy during the day and that you rest better at night.

So why not take an inventory of what type of fuel you are putting into your body...make a few changes and see if you notice a change.

Just remember: Garbage in...Garbage out!
Keep on keepin on!!!
