Working Out So I Can Eat Cake and French Fries

in Introduce Yourself
I"m not kidding. I like my cake and I like my fries. If it means I have to run three miles a day and do 45 minutes of hellacious cardio, so be it.

Really though (but I am serious about the cake and fries) New year, new me. Focusing on getting stronger, not getting skinner. Skinny is just a fringe benefit of working out and eating healthy (with some treats in-between) My real goal is to be able to run from the zombies...when the zombies hit that is! HA!

I love to cook, bake, write, scrapbook, hike, do yoga, and dance (especially when I'm grocery shopping and "Sexy Back" comes on and my husband is with me... one has never seen a grown man so mortified!)

It doesn't matter how fast I'm going, cause I'm lapping everyone else who's sitting on the couch.

    Haha - awesome! I do it for chili fries so I understand your love completely. Once I'm done breastfeeding, it will also be for wine and pasta with cream sauces.

    I do it for the cake, too. And cookies. And ice cream. And... Oh hell, I just like my food! And NOT feeling like I'm wasting my life away sitting on a couch all day in front of the TV. :D

    French fries are totally my weakness! Just gotta be careful about portion sizes though. Even running 3 miles a day will not undo eating huge 500-1000 calorie plates of fries on a regular basis! Learned that the hard way ;) But after I got over the initial withdrawl of greasy goodness I'm now totally satisfied with a small serving of Mickey D's french fries as a treat once in a while.

    I'm guessing your goal is to lose or maintain. You can have cake and fries but just watch how much of it you're having. Nobody said you can't have what you love. However, doing extra cardio isn't going to solve for a lot of cake and fries. Just make sure you're eating well for the most part and it's fine. I've lost 32 pounds since May and I've had plenty of cake and french fries :)
