Find out...

Finding out what is in your favorite food or snack is truly the key to NEVER eating it again.

After watching the movie Supersize Me a few months ago, I have indeed stopped eating fast food hardly ever. I eat there maybe a few times a month, and I definitely am careful with what I get.

However, last night, I got two jacks cheese sticks. I posted that on my Facebook and realized that I was killing myself. My sister-in-law (owns Energy Explosion) wrote a comment that said

"Kami Houtz Price Death.... Probably so. From clogged arteries. I used to get them all the time in high school and then my sister got a job there. They literally melt 1 full cup of butter on top of the dough under the cheese. Knowing that I could never eat there again. Hope this doesn't make you mad, but I know you are working your ass off and it's sort of my job to keep people accountable. Love you!"

Need I say more? I ignorantly eat food from restaurants thinking it's just fine. A few times I have had friends say they worked there and know how they make it.. (Maglebys amazing rolls...) and honestly, I have NOT had a desire to eat any of those things since I find that out. I really need to do research on things that I like to eat when I go out to eat and then once I know how many calories and etc.. fat .. SHIZ are in it, I honestly can say I don't even crave them.

Moral of the story is, I need to do some research. I woke up this morning and went to a circut training class @ sweatychix. It kicked my TRASH across the street... Zumba is NOT enough to get to where I want to be. Zumba is a fun cardio class, that will help keep me motivated to move. But, it's not going to get that weight loss and toning that I also need. I've said a million times before that I WILL not get into a diet or work out routine that I can't handle doing for the rest of my life, so I'm taking this one day at a time. And I know what my goal is, no matter how long it may take to get me there.. no matter how many times I mess up, I WILL keep moving forward and give each new day a chance for change.

Lesson Learned:
Excuses don't make you healthy... they only prevent you from getting there.

It's all a matter of conquering your mind. With EVERYTHING, food, working out, anything you're trying to achieve. If you can get your mind to be controlled, you can achieve great things. You would be amazed at what your body can do.
