You Better Be Good To Me

Since beginning my changes last Monday the big difference I’ve noticed is that I’m not bloated. My stomach looks smaller because it’s not stuffed and bloated with bad foods.

I like that.

Last night at dinner I had a hankering for something sweet. I haven’t had processed sugar since last Sunday and for some reason I’m craving some. So I decide to have dessert. After my 100 calorie Roasted Tomato Gazpacho and 385 calorie Latin-Spiced Yellowtail with guacamole and snow peas, I go for the 125 calorie Hibiscus Crème Brûlée. It was just the right amount and quite tasty. I was completely sated.

Fast forward ½ hour. Oooh. My stomach doesn’t feel so good. Whoops - time to have a potty party.

So I do.

Twice.

My body is rebelling and telling me I need to listen to it. Was it the sugar? Was it the richness of the custard? Was it something else? I don’t know. But I do know I need to listen to my body. So no more desserts while at CY. Let’s see if that makes a difference.

Listening to our bodies is an important step in making life long lifestyle changes. Mine is saying, “You better be good to me.”

I’m listening to it.

And yes I worked out twice. 45-minute interval training on the treadmill and 30-minute walk-run on the boardwalk of Miami Beach while soaking in the sun and ocean breeze. I don’t miss the snow at all. Now if only Mother Nature can make it spring when I arrive home….

Tina Turner:


“You better be good to me
That’s how it’s gotta be now
Cause I don’t have the time
For your over loaded lines
You better be good to me.”
