I do eat well.

Ode to a Monster, of sorts:
I’m back in the Kong, I’ll have you know. And I feel like blogging. I was away most of March, mostly busy having the time of my life. During my travels I received a comment about the title of this blog. She said I needed a new title. I think I said something like “Pffff” and moved on. I didn’t think much of it because, um, it’s my blog, yo. My brother can name it whatever he darn well pleases.
But I have been eating pretty healthy these days, so I might as well give the title some legs to stand on. Can’t say the same for this poor cow I cooked tonight:
Lately I’ve been “honoring the recession,” as my pal Deb would say…cooking at home, taking dinner to work with me, buying less alcohol. What have I learned? It is possible to cut back on alcohol too much. Duly noted. I’ve also learned what meats are the healthiest for someone like me.
See, I want to build and tone my muscles.
I know, I know. I can hear you pleading:
“But your muscles are already impressive, Em! You scare me! Why would you want to bulk up?”
Nay, I want to maximize the muscles I have and get rid of the fat. Just because I’m a woman, I shouldn’t let myself get away with 20% body fat. I bet I can get that down to 10%. What do you think? I hadn’t started this post thinking I’d write that sentence, but I’m always game for a challenge. So, here we go.
What steps will I take besides a conscious but non-obsessive decision to eating better?
I fear I’m now hooked on spinning. It’s killer. With that 3 or 4 times a week, plus 1 hike and a day or two of weights/targeted strength workouts, I might die. Err… I mean… achieve my fat-loss goal.
Here’s to healthy!
