An American Glutton in Europe.

Did you aim for the stars and come up short? Me too.

At some point I wanted to get down into single digit body fat percentage for a wedding I’m going to in Europe. And I just didn’t make it. I’ve been rationalizing this in so many ways, that once I set foot in Europe I’d be back up into double digits, meaning, I’d never actually make it to the wedding at 9% body fat. And do I really need to show off to the European snobs, and why would I want to go to Europe on such a restrictive diet anyways? The truth is, getting that lean is really, REALLY hard, and life has largely gotten in the way of achieving that goal. I don’t love excuses for getting derailed, but I also sometimes set goals that my heart isn’t really committed to.

What was I successful at? I lost 10 pounds! That’s not nothing!
I’m gonna take that win with me to Europe and celebrate with a walk around some Roman monuments.
