Damn You, Food!

As we move into the Winter months I cannot help but fear the oncoming onslaught of hunger cravings. I am a genuine sucker for hot food in any season, but when the thermometer heads south I just throw myself at anything that steams. Unfortunately, most of the hot food available to me has a high fat content, or is cooked in a fat-filled process. The second bane to my fitness cause is the temptation of chocolate, made only worse as Easter approaches. Already I’m being subjected to barrages of chocolate advertising, and it is oh so hard to resist. I really want to achieve and maintain fitness with a two-pronged regime of exercise and healthy eating, but I’m officially warning everyone that if you offer me food I will accept without hesitation.

the key is to do that "carrot-in-front-of-your-donkey" thing, where you tie said hot food in front of your face, just out of reach, and then hop on a treadmill/excercise bike and try to get closer to the food. If you think it's too silly and youll just be tempted to just eat the food, then maybe try it when you're stoned :p

not saying you ever are, but suggesting that getting stoned might be an idea [and fun?] :p

Just a general comment to say I am a fan of your blog. Keep on postin'; your devotion inspires me (yet scares me as I fail to blog on a regular basis). Another wonderful blog, Kudos. Ciao, Joel. Ps I can't resist chocolate either - Easter is a threat to any fitness regime.
