Working and Playing

I think that it is safe to say that we like to work hard and play hard here at Fit Fuel, and I think that any healthy lifestyle has to include copious quantities of all things fun. To be truly healthy you need to stay up and be happy, and working out hard and often is the way to be able to enjoy your indulgences and still stay fit.

I eat a healthy diet for the most part, but every now and then I stray and throw something into my face that isn’t especially good for me. But what I do as an antidote is up my calorie burning the next day, and I’m back to square one. Putting in a couple of extra miles or taking a long swim is fun too, so I get to enjoy the calories, and enjoy taking them off.

One thing that is very important is beer. I highly recommend that you make beer drinking a top priority, especially during the summer….and winter….and spring….and yes, a nice cold one goes down well on a brisk autumn evening as well. There is a saying that is attributed to Benjamin Franklin: “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” I couldn’t agree more, and while we’re on the subject of Franklins, winning ten or twenty of those playing poker (while drinking beer, of course) makes you pretty happy as well.

Beer is crucial, but tequila, though optional, is highly recommended. Good tequila is best, but in a pinch any tequila will do, especially if you are making margaritas. Do not order your margaritas without salt. Do make sure that there is at least two (2) shots of tequila in your margarita, and don’t be afraid to tipple a Corona between sips of your margarita. Should an agave worm become available, do eat it without compunction, and make no plans before 10:00 a.m. the following morning.

Being committed to living a healthy lifestyle is great, and we are all about helping people to do just that. Having a hearty appetite for food, drinks, and fun is at the center of a healthy lifestyle from our perspective, and balancing indulgence with exercise and good foundational nutritional habits is the way to have your cake and eat it too.
