"Food" by Melissa Schwab, Gold's Gym Challenge Participant

So is it wrong to watch the Food Network while working out? I can tell that I’m at the end of the challenge…I’m starting to dream about food. Sad, I know! After months of tracking every calorie, measuring and weighing and planning all my food, I’m ready for a break. I still plan to eat healthy but I’m looking forward to having an opportunity to relax a bit. I have to admit that I’ve found a new love of foods during the challenge. Fruits are especially appealing to me now. I can’t believe what a treat it is to have a banana or an apple. They’re so sweet! Yum! It shows me how easy it is to saturate my diet with sugar and salt, and lose that taste for natural foods. I’m looking forward to taking what I’ve learned and enjoying a happy, healthier and balanced future.
