Jennifer Matiran

BREAKFAST: Two eggs (over medium), bacon, sausage, hash browns (extra crispy), a stack of pancakes (with maple syrup) two pieces of buttered sourdough toast and a large glass of bubbly cola to wash it all down.

LUNCH: A cheeseburger (animal style) which includes doublespread (Thousand Island), double grilled onions, double cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, an order of French Fries, ketchup and a side of spread for dipping, all this was once again washed down with a bubbly cola.

DINNER: Four pieces of Pepperoni Pizza dipped in ranch dressing, a salad with mozzarella cheese soaked in dressing and again a large bubbly soda to wash down this greasy delight.

MIDNIGHT SNACK:”Yes, I’ll have two ninety-nine cent tacos, curly fries and a dozen jalapeno poppers with extra ranch, ketchup and taco sauce. Oh! And a large Coke also.

That my friends, was seriously, the type of diet I had for the past year. And I wondered why I was so tired even after a full nights rest? I wondered why I was so moody? I wondered why people so easily got on my nerves? I wondered why I had become such a procrastinator? I wondered why I was losing at poker? Now, I know why? It was because I was treating my body (Gods gift to me) like a trash can.

A couple years ago, everyone around me was either getting married, having a kid and/or buying a house. It made me think”what do you want Jennifer? A husband? Nope. A baby? Nope. A house? Nope, not right now. I thought about it andrealized that the only thing I wanted was a brand new car. Yes, a brand new sports car. Yip, thats what I wanted, I mean besides world peace, spirituality and grand success. I reached my goal and purchased my first sports car.

PREMIUM GAS ONLY, I read the first time I went to the gas station. There was a sticker right by the gas cap, premium gas only; it was the first time any car I owned required the best, most expensive gasoline. Why, because a high performance car requires high performance fuel. Ah, so a high performance mind, body and soul require high performance fuel as well.

Lately, I have been eating fruits, vegetables, healthy meats and breads. I’ve been drinking tons of water. Water is life, trust me you’ll understand when you drink enough of it. I wake up in the morning ready to conquer the world because I feel good. I feel good therefore I play good. I’ve been winning, lately; I’ve been gently chewing them up and spitting them out. This is for all the people who treat their bodies like garbage and you know who you are. Understand, that you not feeling good IS NOT because of your circumstance, its because of the crappy fuel you are putting into your body. Its not because you dont have money, a girlfriend, a boyfriend, a car, a job, etc., no its because of the unhealthy food you put into your body. I heard something like “how do you expect to reach further enlightenment when your body is a junkyard. Change it little by little, bit by bit. I promise, you will be glad you did! I sure am. Until next time remember, CONSISTENCY OVER A PERIOD OF TIME EQUALS POWER.
