Yes, that's a bacon bouquet!!
I’m pretty sure no other country in the world loves food quite the way Americans do. No matter the occasion, it always seems to be centered around food. Thanksgiving…how many sides are we having? Birthday…where are we going out to eat? July 4th…burger, steak, and a hot dog!! The American way no doubt!!! Endless buffets and happy hour specials and $.99 value meals constantly entice us to indulge and engorge and stuff ourselves in the interest of getting the most “value” from our dollars. We supersize and value size and eat dishes meant for two people. Daily consumption of venti lattes that we “need” to start our day and Route 44 drinks because, well, they’re half off.
So…where do we draw the line? When does the excess become too much? When do the people as a whole lash out and say we’re not going to cave in to these temptations and take control and be responsible??? I guess as long as there are people creating bacon bouquets, the answer is never.
I’m not saying you should never have that brownie or the ice cream you love or a refreshing Coke you crave. Just don’t have it everyday. And don’t have 15 of them when you do. I’m not saying you can’t eat on special occasions, but it doesn’t HAVE to be a veritable cornucopia of treats. There’s a reason our country is obese…and it’s not thyroid issues or genetics or something in the air. We just LOVE food.
And now for the quotes of the week…
“It’s a little tricky”-client when asked what she had for dinner the night before
“I’ve had a hard time functioning the last week and a half. It’s usually after you brutalize me on the treadmill!!”
And the winner for quote of the week, my 8 yr old son after his first official training session…”I feel like death killed me!!” AWESOME!!
NO EXCUSES, JUST RESULTS!!
