I love Christmas time. So many cookies;) That said, I am trying to find a balance between eating like garbage and trying to maintain a somewhat normal "diet". The problem is, there are so many good foods around, 90% of which are composed of some sugar and lard mixture (MMMMM...So! Good!). These foods don't lend themselves very well to athletic performance. The other day, I ate a half dozen cookies about an hour before I worked out. Half an hour later I passed out on the couch for two hours. Good thing I had energy to work out;)
Things like this would really bother me if I did them all the time. However, I know that the whole thing (cookies and such) only lasts about 2-3 weeks, at the most. After that, it's back to normal. If you think about it, on average, I experience 3 Christmas "events" leading up to Christmas Day. So, 3 events where I eat whatever I want. Then, add in Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. So far, a total of 5 "events". Throw in New Years, and probably another 5 "random events" that I kind of let myself go. So only 10 actual times that I "slip up". These 10 times have a minimal effect on my performance because 9 out of 10 will occur AFTER I've trained for the day. Oh well. I'm still improving and training, so I'm not worried.
Oh yea...did I mention how good I look? ;)
