The next decade....what's in store?

Eating like the pros

I was leafing through an edition of Oxygen magazine (lovely magazine for serious fitness buffs......like moi!) last night and looking at the diets of the women when they preparing for a fitness show.

Well, everybody eats Oatmeal. So do I. Everybody eats Sweet Potato. So do I. Everybody eats Tuna. So do I.

Now what they don't eat is cashews, ice cream, Ovaltine biscuits, M&Ms, banana....and the list goes on. I guess that's why they on a fitness stage and I bussing my ass in a local gym.

They call it "eating clean". Lots of egg whites, oatmeal, lean chicken, turkey, tuna, sweet potato, yams, salad and such the like. No fruits. I was surprised about that, but then the carbs in them not good for their figure just before competition.

I was looking through thinking what if I looked like them one day? Actually I wouldn't. Dem too skinny. I still maintain I want to be about an American size 12. Just three sizes to go. Do you know I wore 22-24 when I first got to England in 2001? Do you know this T-shirt that I am wearing now, couldn't even smell me in 2001?

So there has been progress, but I guess I really need to eat like the pros in order to look near to what they look like. They are certainly inspirational.
