Prompt: Explain how eliminating unhealthy foods affect your workouts?

Answer:   I felt better = 1 point

Answer:  I have a serious sugar addiction!  A typical day for me includes a coffee with syrup in the morning, and several sodas throughout the day.  It’s also not uncommon for me to have a candy bar during the day. The first day I eliminated sugar was tough, I really missed that form of “energy.”  After a few days without sugar my energy levels actually went up!  My workouts are more enjoyable with the new sustained energy.  I also think my recovery is better because my sleep is so much better.  = 5 points
