7 questions to answer before I indulge in my kryptonite

Hello!

I could not have had a better weekend. Boy oh boy oh boy! Or should I say my! my! my! my. We had a busy weekend! From U.S. Open spectatorship to tubing on Lake Minnetonka for the first time in my whole life; Leah and I hung out with some of the guys that come to the gym. They have really become family and boy was it a lot of fun. But anyways, I really hope that you had a good, good weekend.

First of all, I am really excited about the past week. We broke a record at the gym with weight loss. Five people had a combination loss of 40 lbs within the last two weeks. Congratulations to those individuals. I will give all of you one extra set of leg hang crunches.

This week I wanted to give you guys a little cheat sheet that you can walk around with in your pocket or purse or whatever it is that you carry around.

SEVEN QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE YOU INDULGE IN YOUR KRYPTONITE

1. Will it add one extra calorie that I DO NOT need in my calorie count?

2. Will this favorite food of mine be there in the morning?

3. Is it an essential amino acid (i.e. protein)? If my body can create it, I will pass.

4. What would Stephen Menya do? See Nutrition

5. Will this help me meet one of my short term goals?

6. Is this drink I am partaking used to clean up road kill or a battery cell (hint...hint...coca-cola products?

7. And finally, how hard will I have to workout in order to burn what I am about to eat or drink? Maybe it is counter-productive.

Now that my friends is your TIP of the WEEK...

I hope it helps you when you are trying to figure out your food and drink types. We will see you at the gym!

Thank you
