They Weren't Kidding

I have heard all my life, "all you need to do is eat right and exercise"....they weren't kidding.  It turns out they were right after all!  Ha!...who knew?!?  Eating healthy AND exercise have to go together, like hand and glove, peanut butter and jelly. I have tried one with out the other, mostly dieting but not exercising. and this time I decided I would try it the other way around....exercising without the focus on the diet, and for the most part it has worked...BUT, I found that "sweat equity" plays a part in the decision of what to stuff your face with and it has really forced me to think about it.  I find that most of the time I am choosing fresh foods and whole grains without preservatives, if I can, although you have to go farther and pay more sometimes. Occasionally, I will eat "out of character" and jump off the deep end, but I usually regret it for the next few days, as my pants are the barometer!  But hey, whats life without a few m&m peanuts now and then??!!
