I've Been To The Other Side

Hey guys, this entry is about my trip to Ocean City this past summer. Now, just some background, I pretty much eat clean and exercise year round. I'm talking grilled chicken, broccoli, brown rice, the whole nine. Very rarely do I cheat on my diet, and I always exercise. So what happened in Ocean City? It started off innocently enough, bought a gym pass for 3 days, hit the gym good, and was eating fairly clean. However, the last three days, I let myself go wild. I'm talking Dumser's Ice Cream, burgers, wings, you name it. I also didn't hit the gym, figured why not, the body needs a rest every so often. Let me tell you what, I have never felt so terrible in my life (other than my bout with lymes disease, but that's another story for another day). I was lethargic, I was getting chest pains, and I felt AWFUL! The thought that kept crossing my mind is, "this must be what most people do routinely, how the heck do they do it?" Moral of the story? I get jealous from time to time of people who eat what they want, and throw caution to the wind. I sometimes want to devour a burger, McDonald's etc, but don't and become jealous of those that do. However, after this Ocean City trip I realized I am not missing out on anything at all. Eat healthy my friends, and keep exercising!
