Hello, my friends! Its great to have you all with me once again. Happy St. Patrick's Day! St. Patrick's Day is cause for celebration. Hooray! Now, lets stop for a second. What does St. Patrick's Day mean for all of us? I don't know about you, but I think ONE thing when I think of St. Patrick's Day. ALCOHOL. That's right. Booze. Some COLD drink, fit for a king. I enjoy a frosty brew as much as the next person, don't get me wrong. For those of you like me, who adhere to a strict training and nutrition regiment, this could spell DISASTER!
Alcohol can deter your efforts to lose weight. Alcohol provides no nutritional benefit. A single glass of beer or wine can contain a minimum of 100 calories. Imagine having a few drinks a night, a few nights a week. Hmm. YOU do the math. Alcohol can easily add 1000's of empty calories to your diet. If you are truly concerned about your health, if you are truly committed to your fitness goals, limiting your alcohol consumption is key. What's more, alcohol is an appetite stimulant. A late night of drinking CAN and usually DOES lead you to indulge in foods that are not ideal to your weight management plan. Thus, leading to even MORE empty calorie consumption! Do you see what I'm talking about when I say, DISASTER? Its a viscous cycle. One that you don't want to get caught in.
I hope I have made you stop and think a little bit, that's all. Be conscious of your alcohol consumption. Have fun. Be safe, my friends. Drink responsibly. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

INTENSITY fuels my fire. On a massive attempt to find BALANCE. An earthy-Artistic individual, full of raw emotions, often mis-judged and not bothered by what others say. I'm on a visionary adventure nearing what I've dreamt most.
As a lover of ALL forms of ART, I enjoy two very fine and immanent joys in life: FOOD & MUSIC. Because without these two things, my world would be vapid.
I have a very endearing family, life-long friends, and a love for life too big to handle at times. I'm simple because I want to be, but complicated because GOD made for it to be that way.
