OK- so had a conversation with Brett tonight that boiled down to this:
Me: I know I'm exercising in order to compete in an event, and that's been a great shift from exercising in order to manage my weight. But I did kind of assume with all of this exercise that my pants would be a little looser. That's not happening.....what do you think?
Brett: Why aren't you slimming down?
Me: Because I'm taking in too many calories and I haven't paid too much attention to my diet.
Fortunately Brett didn't say "Ok dummy- this is not rocket science to figure out...."
No, instead we talked about motivations about food, training, and what I really want. And then when I did ask him to be straight and tell me what he thought, I heard the dreaded words:
"Sugar-free and gluten-free".
Oh god.
Well I asked for his opinion and that's what I got. The thing is, I take Brett's recommendations about training and food pretty seriously. And I want to kick some butt in my races this summer. So you know what that means...
Yep, no sugar and gluten for the next 5 weeks.
And since I decided to start tomorrow since I had already committed to having dessert w/ some friends tonight, I thoroughly enjoyed the spinach artichoke dip and cappuccino mousse cake tonight. :)
It was delicious.
The bike riding on that hill may not have killed you, but this surely will! Does this mean Marc and I have to sneak stuff into our bed at night to enjoy any sugar on our trip up to see you all?? Smile...
ReplyDeleteOh, don't worry- as I was talking to Brett, I was also scooping ice cream for the kids. I'm not pushing my own crazy food choices on anyone else. :) That's assuming I make it until you all show up.....
