Weekly Challenge: Week 8 - No Food Porn

This week's challenge is all about food.  I borrowed this liberally from a talk that Tony gives at his fitness camps about "food porn".  "Food Porn" is exactly what it sounds like, it's food that you don't need, that doesn't help fuel your body and doesn't get you any closer to your health and fitness goals.  Think soda, candy, cake, greasy burgers...you get the idea. 

Mrs. Gias and I actually eat very clean as it is, probably over 90% of our food is "clean", meaning lean proteins, whole grains, healthy fats, fruits and veggies.  However, I know that I am guilty of grabbing a cookie from the breakroom at work or having a little too much brown sugar on my oatmeal.  No, it's not a lot, but if I think about it at the end of the day, I don't need to have it and it is not getting me any closer to my fitness goals. 

Thus, this week we are going to put an extra focus on eating "clean".  No food porn, no cookie from the breakroom, no sugar on the oatmeal.  We're going to really think about everything we put in our mouth this week and if it isn't fueling our body and helping us towards being more healthy, we're not going to eat it.
