It’s Monday night, I’m home after a long day of work and really don’t feel like cooking.  Hmmm… how about something easy, quick and cheap?  Within 5 miles of my home, I have a choice of McDonald’s (2 of them!), Taco Bell, Burger King, Wendy’s, KFC, Arby’s, Pizza Hut… you get the point.  This place is a mecca for grease, cheese and fat!

We wonder why we have such problems losing weight.  Why that extra 10-20 lbs just will not shed off.  Perhaps it’s the way us Americans make it ok to eat this way.  Why, even the kids meal comes with soda, fries and a burger.  I’m not sure about everyone else but my mom made me eat ALL of my veggies before I could leave the table; and trust me, there was a few nights spent nodding off at the table!  Nonetheless, we ate healthy food and rarely got junk.  A bag of Doritos or pizza was a treat, up until we were teenagers and could manage to wrangle up our own choices. 

After years of eating junk and the majority of my fluid intake being coke or something ridiculously sweet, I’ve decided to give it up for good.  I’m gonna go with good old natural water (working on my diet) and God knows I will not give up my occasional Redbull and/or vodka! ;)  But for the most part, I’m gonna stick with it.  I’ve really improved my diet lately and the results are showing.  It’s nice to work hard for something and see progress.

If I ever do decide to have children, I want them to know how to live healthy and strong.  I don’t want them to grow up the like majority of kids you see now a days, living off ice cream, candy bars and soda.  It’s not natural and our bodies aren’t used to processing all of this crap.  Does diabetes, heart disease, circulatory problems, joint pain and high blood pressure sound like a fun future?  I’m gonna go with no.

P.s. Eating this way (good way) will get you abs of steel.  See my example below, lol.  Please don’t hate, you too can have abs like these!  Maybe I will put my secrets on Ebay for the low, low price of $25 a pop.
