11. Eating Healthy

Ok, so I have a weakness... It is a sweet tooth. I LOVE sweets, from chocolate to cake, I almost love it all. Especially with Christmas season coming up, it is the best time for sweets. Candy galore! Gingerbread aka my biggest weakness of the holidays. But anyways, I really decided that I would try to be a good girl and try to watch how many sweets I eat. Especially doing a sport in college, I need to make sure I am being very healthy. Our coach reminds us every day not to eat a lot of sweets. Now, for some people this might not be so hard, but for me, it is SO HARD. Now to be honest, I haven't really been thinking about how many sweets I have been eating each day. But within the past couple of weeks, I have started to watch how many sweets I have been eating per day and really trying to eat more healthy. As good as sweets taste, I have physically felt so much healthier and I have also felt like I have had more energy. Now don't get me wrong, splurging on sweets every once and a while has been good. And I know that I don't really need to watch my weight or anything. I just have felt better eating more on the healthy side and not eating sweets as much. I have also seen an improvement in my swimming at practice and at meets. Also, I am not as tired and have been more awake through out the day. It has been really interesting to see how big of an effect food has on your body. So cool to see that!!
