Not a bird .. Not a plane.. it's a Supa Cheetah!!

I'm not sure what goes through your mind before you start mowing down on a bowl of ice cream or a bag of chips but I know what goes through mine... You gotta Burn it to earn it! Oh sure we justify to ourselves all the reasons why it is ok to have it. BUT... what did we really do? Here were a few of my reasons. Do any of them sound familiar?

1. I walked to the DQ therefore I deserve it
2. We only get together once a month and I don't want her to think I don't appreciate her cooking
3. I'm just going to have one piece of Birthday cake because it only comes once a year.

All these reasons and excuses I would use got me to where I was. It got me sitting on the couch chomping down on a Super size bag of Doritos with a tub of sour cream ( don't judge. We all have our vices and that was mine ). I am a total emotional eater. Plus the fact that I grew up where we all gathered around food to every function didn't help either. I am well aware now what that "one little cheat meal" used do TO me. They all added up. Day after day, calorie after calorie. Sitting on my butt watching all the weight loss shows on tv. Where does it end?!?! Well, now I know what that cheat meal does FOR me. For me it STARTS when I tie up my laces and put my ear buds in. FYI.. I watch those same shows now on the cross trainer at the gym.

I have no fear on this side anymore

Sandbag Squats just for FUN?!?!

Never take the easy way out anymore

Not gonna lie, I literally bust my ass for a solid week to earn that meal. I double cardio (am and pm), I push extra weight with my legs and I do not falter one bit. I am totally focused and there is nothing that gets in my way. Some people may think that is a bit extreme for just one meal. Is it really?? I don't think so. Because the joy on my face knowing "I burned it to earn it" can only be described by a medium thin crust veggie pizza and a small blizzard.

Yes I ate the WHOLE damn thing!!

... and this too :)

Oh now don't think that it just ends there... It SOOOOO doesn't! After this yummy cheat it began again the next day by rolling my carb loaded icky tummy to the gym. Fittingly it was a Sunday and I had abs to focus on. And BOY did I ever.. LOL. A small little message from your coach the next day wondering if you are still in bed in a carb coma kind of gets you motivated to get up.

Food will always be there. There will always be a viscous cycle of sugary ooey gooey goodness waiting for us around every corner. But we make the final decision as to whether or not that yummy platter of deep fried battered everything in the kitchen is going to end up in our mouth. And IF it does.... What did you do to really earn that? If you have to question it in your head at all then you probably should opt for the healthier option and step away from the greasy platter.

So when you see something crazy in the sky every few weeks, it's just me wearing this awesome cape. On the back it says SUPA CHEETA!!
