Daily Pleasure

I am a pretty healthy eater.  Do I eat clean? Probably, sometimes, occasionally, most of the time, not really. I am not even sure I know what "clean eating" even means?  I have never understood that phrase but whatever. So to keep up with the times, I probably eat "clean" 90% of the time.  I eat grains, starches, veggies, fruits and lean meat/protein.  So if that is eating "clean" then I eat clean.  However, I would like to just say I have a very balanced diet.  If I eat "clean" 90% of the time then I should mention that I have my days where I eat dirty and I mean it's DIRTY! And I enjoy every solitary minute of it!  Having my cheat day puts me back on track.  It makes me realize that the good food that I do eat is really, really good and my body does respond well to it.  Am I a health nut? Yep. But not for show or recognition (I try not to be anyway).  Is it vanity on my part?  Most likely.  But really I am just naturally an athlete so exercising and weight lifting and taking care of my body comes natural to me because it's something I personally enjoy. It isn't torture for me to do any of it.  I am also a very competitive person. If you challenge me to something, I will most likely take you up on it.  For years I have struggled with my body, the imperfections, the flaws, the nuisances.  Over the past year (trust me this is still a work in progress), I have come to really love this temple I have been given.  I mean everyone has imperfections and flaws and nuisances and, frankly, that is what gives variety to this earth.  I have learned to be so grateful for the PERFECT parts of myself.  Yep, that's right we all have PERFECTION in us.  But let's focus on this picture.  I LOVE THESE! I LOVE THESE! I LOVES THESE!  I have eaten a lot of meal supplement bars over my life.  I have gagged and spit and thrown away the nasty ones.  I have tolerated the okay ones.  But this little friend popped into my life about a month ago and I am madly in love.  You can get them at Good Earth or online at www.questnutrition.com.  Seriously, try them.  You'll be glad you did.
