Watch What You Eat and You May Sell More Real Estate

Now that we're about 1/2 way through the holiday eating season, I have finally decided that "enough is enough".  I can only eat so many cookies, cake, ice cream, holiday bars, fudge, etc.  I can only go out to dinner "so many" times in one week and I can only snack on "so many" gift baskets during the course of the day.  

Turducken (very fattening) -- Honey Baked Ham -- Candy Canes -- Pumpkin Pie ----- wow!

STOP THE INSANITY!

This year I've decided to do something about this crazy eating frenzy.  I am going back to sensible eating and keeping a journal of the food I consume and making healthy food choices.

After only a few days of getting "back on track", I find that my head is MUCH clearer and I have significantly more energy than when I "grazed" on the holiday junk.  

One thing that really stands out is that I am finding that I am able to think much more quickly on my feet.  This may be because of the fact that I am sleeping better and wake up VERY well rested.  Nothing else has changed in my life other than healthy eating.

This is not a coincidence!  I have changed my eating habits in the past with the same or similar successes.  Why then, do I decide that a little decadent dark chocolate won't effect my overall performance the next day?  

While the satisfaction received from the intake of the chocolate is totally satisfying, it's only temporary.  The increased energy, positive sense of well being and ability to think more clearly obviously outweighs (no pun intended) the short term satisfaction received from the non-healthy food.

I'm not saying that you should cut out all the food sins of the season --- that would be torturous.  What I am suggesting is that a little "satisfaction" in moderation is definitely better for your overall well being than pigging out on the Holiday Truffle.

So, what's the moral of the story?  Watch what you eat and you may just sell more real estate as a result of the benefits of "good" nourishment.
