Confession: I ate everything in this picture and it was absolutely amazing. Lava cake, a chocolate shot, a mini milkshake chocolate thing, and vanilla ice cream (ok fine I shared some with my bf).

I know as a fitblr, I should think food as fuel. Which I do… when I eat clean. But sometimes I don’t wanna think of food as fuel. I wanna enjoy and cherish its flavors, regardless of the macros and calories. And I wanna do this without a single regret because this is what I choose right now. I choose to eat delicious foods and travel to different places and try more different foods. This is why I’m far from ready to compete. (oh and FYI I ate this knowing that I had to be in a bikini the next day because I was going to the dead sea… Pics are posted on my previous post).

Pick what you want to do in life and be happy with it. If you’re happy preparing to compete, thumbs up! I know it’s hard. You can do it. If you’re happy working out because you love to eat, then high-five!

Xoxo, Val
