Before and After

Before: nachos with cheese, guac, black beans, sour cream, olives.
We didn't have any visitors tonight, but it was raining anyway so we would not have walked.  Linda got home at 8:00 from teaching her classes.  She let us outside and gave us dinner.  On Tuesdays, she eats her big meal at lunch (today was salmon, squash, salad) so tonight she just had a protein shake.  It's really helped her energy levels the way she has tweaked her eating schedule.  Staying off the white food (rice, sugar, bread, potato, milk,) and all processed starches has really made her feel amazing.  Eating some kind of fish everyday and lots of green vegetables has also contributed to her feeling so great.  She did not realize what a toll the bad food was taking.  It would be like putting watered down cheap gas in a Maserati.  The car would not run very good.  Putting the best fuel in the tank would make it run fast and efficient, that is how her body feels.  Tonight she did two super hard classes back to back. When she was done, she could have still run a few miles on the treadmill at an incline.  She is going to let herself eat whatever she wants at Thanksgiving dinner, but she might end up still eating clean! 
After:  Salmon, asparagus, salad
