One of the best reasons to get in shape...

Is having freedom from food. And freedom from food 'rules'. 

When I first started my fitness journey, you would never catch me eating bread. 

Treats. Pasta. Rice. All off limits. 

Funny how I eat more of that now, but I'm in way better shape. 

The mental bandwidth it takes to avoid sugar and carbs. Or feeling guilty after having something indulgent. It sucks. 

Learning how nutrition works helped me overcome that. 

Let me explain. 

If you're new here - my fiancee, Jaye, loves to bake. 

Special, awesome treats. At least once a week. 

Like these pretzel shortbread bars with a chewy, salted caramel layer. 

Last week we had some friends visit. 

They made a joke about how I wouldn't be allowed to have any of them, since they know I'm on day 27/70 in my weight loss push. 

But I did have some. Enjoyed it thoroughly. 

Then we all had pizza out of my brand new pizza oven (highly recommend). 

And I still lost almost 2 pounds last week. 

Because as long as my calories and protein are in the right spot, I'll lose fat. 

Knowing that means I can be flexible. Enjoy fun foods. Stick with it longer.

The process feels easier.

I go further. 

You get one chance at life - please don't waste it being afraid of almond croissants. 

Learn how to eat to get in shape. 

You'll have more fun on this planet, spend longer here, and look great while you do it.
