How did I become faster❓ FOOD❗
As runners, food is a PART of our training & it makes a HUGE difference in our training, performance & recovery.

PRIOR TO EATING CLEAN
This half marathon was brutal & it was a wake-up call. I’ve always eaten fairly healthy (except for my sweet tooth for homemade desserts, but I’m not into packaged food or fast food). BUT, I had ❌ no idea what portion control was – I didn’t know how to FUEL my body or HOW MUCH of each food group I should BE eating. I grew up in a hunting family & we had a HUGE garden, so we had wild game & veggies at every meal & frequently had potatoes. I got my veggies & protein in, just NOT ENOUGH. I got my healthy carbs & fats in, just TOO MUCH.
5/30/16
I started following a meal plan that was NOT restrictive – no cutting out food groups – just focusing on whole foods in PROPER PORTIONS. 🙌 And NO counting calories or macros – counting calories did not work for me❗.

I was blown away by my time❗The only thing that I changed was eating PROPER PORTIONS of whole foods. I lost 2️⃣0️⃣ pounds in a matter of a few months & I felt amazing. I didn’t want the feeling to go away❗
