All I Do Is EAT... (& kick ass)

I work at a gym and all I do is EAT.

Seriously. I feel like I eat all day. I'm obviously a very active person and eat very healthy snacks, but it feels like I am in a constant state of NOMS. I am obviously a very healthy and active person, and therefore generally eat very healthy foods. But I am pretty sure I eat almost ever hour.

Typical KB Breakfast:
-Hot tea (necessary: totally non-negotiable part of my day)
-Cereal (either oatmeal, cold cereal with almond milk, or granola with plain greek yogurt)
-Copious amounts of fresh fruit (a third of a watermelon is a normal serving, right?)
-Few vitamins

Typical KB Lunch can consist of any of the following:
-Veggies
-Hummus
-Soup
-Crackers
-Flatbread sandwich
-Salad

But today was Wawa hoagie fest in Philly. Also known as KB gets free lunch day! Today I particularly felt like I ate a ton...
-Italian Hoagie
-Iced Tea
-Tasty Cake
-Kettle Chips

I am a firm believer of "no diets". People should just eat healthy and anything can be enjoyed in moderation. I wouldn't eat a huge, (but mostly) unhealthy lunch like this usually, but on special occasions I indulge, I encourage everyone to do the same.

Then, I head to work...

Then while at work I snack. I'll munch on lots of stuff but usually my bag has:
-Fresh fruits
-Fresh veggies
-Natural Fruit Strips
-Protein bars (Clif and Kind are my fave: my bag ALWAYS has one!)
-Trail mix/nuts

Again, healthy... but it always feels weird eating food (of any kind) while overlooking a group exercise class (which the rock wall is right next to).

I'll also go through a minimum of 100oz of water a day as well as a bit of home brewed unsweetened iced tea.

I am not ashamed of how I eat. I fuel my body with whole, natural foods when it needs it. I don't diet, I don't starve myself, I don't feel food guilt, I bike to work everyday, and work out 6 days a week. After being self-conscious and shamed, I am finally happy with eating when I am hungry and not feeling guilty when I do decide to treat myself.

"Diet", "cheat day", "(insert food group here) free" and the like drive me crazy and I hope that everyone can (in time) find their own healthy, happy, "clean", and natural way of fueling that beast we call the human body.
