Someone pointed this out to me today. Maybe this will help put things into perspective. You decide you are going to eat a blueberry nutri-grain bar which contains 130 calories. You think it is just a little cheat for the day, well this is what you have to remember:
It will take me busting my butt on my eliptical for 13 minutes of my regular 1/2 hour of running to just burn off the calories of a bar that took 2 minutes to consume. This doesn't leave me with much time to burn off the proper food that I consumed. It really doesn't make much sense!!
Try to think of it in these terms. If I eat that how much more time am I going to have to work out. Is my whole workout being give to consuming one food, which really isn't good for me anyway? Something to think about!!!
