Bikini or Tim Tams: what will you choose?

Bikini or Tim Tams?

Come on now its summer and I’m almost always dressed like I’ve just come from Auckland's hottest beaches.

I know you girls want to look good in a bikini. Sooo…

Think about it like this: Everything that you put in your mouth had to be accounted for. Whether you burn it off with exercise, or those extra calories go for a ride along in the saddle bags, everything counts.

It’s like that one guy put it, “If you eat fat, greasy food, you’re gonna be a fat, greasy person!” You are what you eat. It’s true! Are you eating lean and clean, or are you chomping on tim tams? Yeah, yeah, you know that. But here’s the point.

You have to set your priorities, and then follow them.

If you want to be looking good, you can’t keep eating bad. I’m tired of all the excuses and the “I know, I know, but’s…”

Now I realize that some of you are already thinking, “This guy’s no fun!” But I assure you that it’s really not all that bad. In fact, well worth it! Trust me, I still am able enjoy all kinds of food and drink, and would you believe not all of it is healthy? Yes, every now and then I even still eat junk food!

Let me remind you, it’s not all about the “No’s.”  For me it is thought process morelike, “Sure, I could if I wanted to. But I don’t really want to because I would rather have great-looking abs this summer.”  It’s just that I value something different than the temporary pleasure of eating some unhealthy food. Not everyone is the same way and that is fine. But in your quest to lookand feel better, remember a few points.

Remind yourself of your health and fitness goals often, especially when tempted to cheat.

Plan your healthy meals, and plan your unhealthy ones too. Don’t just go to the drive-thru off of a whim because you were hungry and didn’t have your snacks.

Don’t beat yourself up when you fail. It happens, get over it, enjoy your food, learn from the experience, and try and put together a plan to do better in the next situation.

Please, just make healthy choices. No excuses.
