The Last Supper

Saturday Jan. 7^th 2012

So as a way to celebrate and kick off our WBFF challenge we decided to indulge ourselves in the ultimate junk food extravaganza on Saturday night. Kudos to Amanda for this idea, it was delicious and horrible all at the same time! We wanted to eat all the things we wouldn’t be able to eat for the next six months and send our bad eating habits packing.

Here’s what the menu looked like:

-Chicken sausage and sundried tomato pizza

-Prosciutto and parmesan pizza

-Hot wings

-Vino (of the white variety)

-Palm Bay coolers

- Chips & dip

Here’s where it gets really good:

-Sour Patch Kids

-Skor Bites

-Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

-Random assortment of 5 cent candy

-Red licorice

We should mention that Amanda added in some extra indulgence by hot tubbing until 4am that night and had a dozen beer or so after she left Meg’s house, how’s that for going all out? Way to go Amanda! Go hard or go home!

The interesting part about our junk meal was that after eating it all, as delicious as it was, it really made us realize that what we’re giving up isn’t near as valuable as what we’re gaining. Sugar and empty calories taste good, and THAT’S IT. They don’t do anything else for you! In fact the cons are pretty scary and it really seems like a no brainer to choose fit over fluff. You feel terrible, you look terrible, there is absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever, they are chock full of artificial ingredients, it’s expensive to eat out all the time, you’re at higher risk for heart disease, diabetes…. the list goes on. The more you think about it the more you realize that the question shouldn’t be WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?, it should be WHY  ISN’T EVERYONE? You only live once man. You only get one chance to rock that bikini hard at some point in your life; don’t you want to know what that feels like? Nothing tastes as good as fit and healthy feels. People are all about instant gratification, I get it. It’s gratifying in the moment to pack away an entire bag of Doritos or inhale a family size Kit Kat bar, but you know what? It’s instantly gratifying to make the decision to get yourself in shape. How awesome do you feel when you start that first moment of a new eating and exercise plan? Eating poorly affects your weight, your mood, your hormones and your plain old outlook on life. Sugar makes you cranky, tired, and fat.

So in summary, our last supper was fun, it was great to say goodbye to the junk and spend the night with awesome friends. But all in all? Good. F%#king. Riddance.
