I didn't realize...

I didn't realize I wasn't feeling well until I started feeling good again.  (Does that sentence make sense to anyone besides me?)

As part of my working out and toning up plan, I have cut out most of my diet mt. dews and replaced them with an abundance of water.  I was drinking up to 4 diet mt. dews a day and only 1 or 2 water bottles.  This week, I have been drinking 4-5 bottles of water and up to only 2 diet mt. dews a day.  I have seen an improvement in my tummy already and I contribute that to the fact that the caffeine and carbonation were weighing me down, figuratively and literally.

I have felt absolutely wonderful this week! I have been energetic, happy, bright, and have felt like my health was at 100%.  Some of this feeling good may be because I have begun exercising a little each day; it also may be because I have eaten far less carbohydrates this week; and of course, it can be because I have flushed out all of the toxins in my body with the amount of water I have been consuming.  

I didn't realize that all of those things were actually contributing to how I was feeling.  I knew all of those things in theory, but I had forgotten how wonderful I could feel with a little exercise, low carbohydrates, and a lot of water. I just have to make sure I remember this feeling every time I try to reach for the box of graham crackers or another diet mt. dew :-)
