Fitness and Food

Focusing on my enjoyment of both fitness and food, but at the end of the day an outlet for other things as well

I know, I just hate when … ha, never mind.  Who do I think I’m kidding? Please surprise me with food.  I will thank you.  It will be an awkward mouth-full-of-food thank you, but a thank you nonetheless.

that way, you’re technically not restricting yourself but just focusing on foods you need to eat for a healthier you.



Exactly!  Don’t sit there and think about all the foods you are avoiding.  There are so many ways to make healthier versions of desserts, snacks, and meals.  Focus on finding creative and new ways to make healthier versions of the unhealthy foods you are cutting out.  That way you get to eat healthy and still keep the foods you love (to some extent).

Also, who doesn’t love a good challenge?  This especially comes into play with desserts because trying to replace a dessert with a healthy version of it, which still tastes good, isn’t always easy.  However, it is extremely rewarding when it does work out.

Conversation had with a customer upon arriving at work with a bunch of bananas.

  • Customer: Did you bring in bananas for everyone?
  • Me: No.
  • Customer: You're going to eat all those by yourself?
  • Me: Well, I guess I might share one.
