Anyone who has known me any length of time knows that nutrition is not my thing. Like I can show up to the gym everyday, but I’m gonna go home and binge eat until I feel like I can’t breathe anymore. Or before I go to the gym I’m going to stuff myself so full of Shelby’s eclair cake that I’ll come dangerously close to vomiting while I’m bear crawling. Food is my favorite thing. Bad food. Fast food. Junk food. Sugary sweet food.
So when I went on a cruise to the Bahamas 1.5 years ago I fell off the healthy eating wagon and started gaining weight. Again. Then many months later I fell while hiking Mcafee Knob and broke my ankle in three places (you all know the story, but I’ll share more about that when I go hiking there again and reach the summit this time) and I couldn’t get out of bed for 3 months and my weight crept up and up and up. Again.
But then I returned the PlayFitStayFit in January and had a brief bout of motivation… which didn’t last long. So I’ve been working out again for 6-7 months, but cancelling out all of that work with garbage food.
So this week when Jason Gordon started offering nutritional counseling and meal planning I eagerly (well… for me) requested to sit down with him and get started. Good news, my meal plan specifically allows for a single alcoholic beverage with almost every dinner! Bad news, it’s also going to force me to eat things like squash and zucchini and roasted cauliflower. For now, I’m just going to focus on the good though… I’m allowed alcohol. And, surprisingly, a reasonable amount of food.
But I don’t think I’m allowed to skip any more cardio days

Food. All of the damn food. I get this.
