I hated my mother for it.<BR/><BR/>But now? I'm not addicted to sugar, I barely like sweets at all most of the time (occasional hormone-induced cravings aside), and I love munching on raw fruits and veggies. In retrospect: Thanks, Mumsie.<BR/><BR/>I am inescapably addicted to caffeine, but I'm pretty sure that builds character, brains, beauty and big butt muscles.Code name: 1%https://www.blogger.com/profile/02576496829445658188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558908988392361775.post-5151978103924586752008-04-17T14:47:00.000-07:002008-04-17T14:47:00.000-07:00The best part about it is, it's true.

You have to do the basics, then add the advanced stuff on top.. maybe.<BR/><BR/>Donkey's are mean, don't let the smiling face fool you.<BR/><BR/>We all could do better. No one eats a perfect diet. As long as it keeps getting better, it's fine. But you can't out-train or out-supplement a crap diet.J.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01178470833734845831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558908988392361775.post-38089803708386784952008-04-17T14:13:00.000-07:002008-04-17T14:13:00.000-07:00Dude, that line about the cowboy is pretty pricele...Dude, that line about the cowboy is pretty priceless.<BR/><BR/>I kind of want to be that cowboy. But only because I never got to be as a child. And the donkey looks somewhat enthusiastic about it.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, solid nutrition take. I'd say the two biggest positive changes I've made for my own fitness have been a) training for a purpose/competition and b) fixing my diet from no breakfast, junk food snacks, no lunch, then take out chinese and High Life in college<BR/><BR/>Granted, I still indulge a bit and could stand to improve on a few points (hence the stagnant 180lb body weight and body fat %). But I agree--without a solid foundation of a diet, you can't possibly be realizing your potential as an athlete or otherwise.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17874021467696146163noreply@blogger.com
