Enjoying food
It struck me today how much I enjoy the food I eat daily. The actual food has not changed in well over a year just the serving size. Some might call how I eat a diet and think its nuts but for me it's just what I have to do to get where I want to be.
Ever since I started training for wrestling I understood my eating habits would need to change, I just didn't have the knowledge I needed. For me like many other people food is such a comfort that when I think about being on a diet I thought of sacrifice and starving.
That is completely not so....I've learned to be satisfied with all the delicious "healthy" options out there. don't get me wrong this took ten years, believe me many a day I had deams of the buffet and just wanting to be satisfied but I learned there is no food out there that will satisfy me when I get that feeling. I enjoy feeling good!
Christmas 2010 I figured it's the holidays I can indulge right??? 5 days later and a total of 35 Christmas cookies down I felt disgusting. I had to have a serious talk with myself about why I indulge to the point of uncomfort and decided then my body, head and heart all need to be on the same page. Why is my mind telling me go for it when my body is saying no more?
Once I got back home and into the swing of work, training and travel I kept in mind the little talk I have with myself. I felt great and with the help of a new trainer I was starting to get the results I wanted. I had more freedom in my diet since I was just given totals of protein, fat and carbs I had to hit in a day. I started experimenting with veggies and finding new and exciting things to do with oatmeal.
This past Christmas I was really worried with all the parties and family gatherings would I cave? Would I feel excluded from the holiday cheer without desert? Could I indulge a little and feel satisfied?
I am happy to report it was a breeze. I made smart decisions and didn't feel like I COULDNT have anything. I told myself I could have anything I wanted but I really thought about how it would make me feel after and most of the "crap" was not worth it. That's not to say I didn't eat any crap..I had one bite of three different deserts on Christmas day and was completely content.
Life is such a crazy process. I went 30 years with what I would call an un healthy relationship with food. I wish young Sara knew the things older Sara knows but that is all part of the process!

Today
I come to the realization that I am only human. Ventured to toast my own almonds for my homemade almond butter since the store was out...toasting no problem...trying to gring them before cooling a little BIG problem. I will never fail at anything ever again!

Hello Monday
The day is almost over and it has been good to me. The cat let me sleep in till 7:30, I had a great chest and tricep workout, had coffee, found a new flavor of gum (see my tweet), got some research done and now deciding if I should do cardio before RAW. Ah decisions.....
How was your Monday?

More on my gum diet
Im not giving it up or only eating gum I'm just cutting back.
I chew well over a pack a day and basically don't like being addicted to things so tomorrow I cut it down.
I'm shooting for 5 a day.
Do you think I can do it?

I've let it be known
My main goal in 2012 is the WWE.
Ever since 2001 when I started training I've 100% dedicated myself to pro wrestling and being the BEST I can be. I am at a point now that if I don't at least try I will always wonder if I could make it in the WWE.
I have always been a beast in the gym but over the past few months along with my trainer I have completely changed the way I lift and workout. A lot of people have asked me to post my routine but since I really just follow a plan set up for me I wouldn't feel right sharing with the public. (I actually don't think I technically can anyways ).
Other than that what would you like out of me this year? A youtube channel perhaps???
Last year literally my dreams came true how can I top that? A youtube channel perhaps???
I wish you all the best for the new year health, peace and happiness!
Thank you all for the continued support and lets hope 2012 has big things in store for all of us.
Chew more gum,
Sara
