Just had to share this.

So, I just came back from the store from buying cinammon buns & creme filled brownies for the family – I figured I would endulge on a bite or two since its free day well anyways, this nice older lady says to me, "Honey, you go ahead since you only have 4 things and I have this cart." So naturally I say, "well, thank you that’s awfully nice of you" So then she spies what I have in my hands and says to me "That’s nothing but junk food, isn’t it?" I said, "yes it is, but once a week won’t hurt you, plus I just did 3 miles of cardio yesterday and 8 the day before and I have a 5 mile run planned for today, so it’s not going to kill me" her response is, "No, I suppose it won’t. You should endulge in something like that once in a while. Well, you know what honey, I’m 77 years old and I almost never eat that, I eat the Okinawa Diet and the Mediterranean (Sp?) is pretty good too. Lots of fish, some oatmeal and lots and lots of fruit and vegetables." I said" Well that sounds good, I don’t eat fish but the rest is good. I eat lots of lean protein." Then she starts rambling on about how she never eats butter or margarine and how once a year she’ll endulge in beef, she further goes on to talk about how mothers now-a-days are feeding their kids hot dogs 3 times a day and how that’s been linked to leukemia….

Let me tell ya, if I wasn’t confident in what I am doing and how I am doing she would have killed free day for me and I probably would be sitting at the gym right now doing way more cardio than I have planned. I understand she eats clean but goodness, need you bombard me with what you eat and try to belittle me for a one day a week habit?

Oh, well…probably overreacting but I just thought that was interesting so I wanted to share.
