We went to dinner with a beautiful couple the other night…they were both in their thirties, in great shape, and had just finished triathlons – impressive! I couldn’t resist asking, when I noticed they didn’t each order chicken breasts, vegetables and a salad; “Do you always eat healthy?”
To my surprise, an honest answer! He said he only drinks “Diet Cokes” now and recently cut out “Regular Coke” – but he still gets cravings for chips at night and loves junk food. She started laughing and said that the only thing that kept her going was thinking of what she was going to order at Dennys, as soon as she finished the Marathon!…the “order” was pancakes, sausage, bacon, biscuits and coffee J
Needless to say, I just fell in love with these two immediately. Staying healthy is a something that has to be part of your constant though, right there with striving to be a better person each year. It doesn’t come easy to anyone and I was glad to hear a real answer, as opposed to the “I eat chicken and vegetables and just stay looking like this naturally.”
