Had an interesting experience yesterday...found that I was really struggling during my master's swim class. I equated it to being tired and having been sick. But the more I swam the more I realized I hadn't eaten enough food!

Quite an interesting position to be in. When you find yourself fighting food & overeating you start to see food like the enemy. It reminded me of sex a little bit--your whole adolescence you're told that sex is 'bad', then when you finally have sex you might feel a strange feeling of it being wrong. As any normal person knows--sex is wonderful & important & should be enjoyed, not feared! Same with food. We need food, food is our friend. So why don't we choose to embrace food in the same way we embrace sex--an important part of ourselves :-)

Using food as fuel for our bodies is a very healthy way to think about it. When we put in the good stuff our engines will run optimally. And who wouldn't want optimal performance for their body? Afterall, it's not like we can trade it into Toyota for a new one!

I must admit I didn't think Toy Story 3 would be worth the wait but I think the movie delivered. Very good movie and a touching ending that even made me tear up.. just a tiny bit. :)
