Why blog, you ask?

I, Skarbs, HIKED the 3 highest peaks in Africa in January of 2012, all to raise money for the 3 "peak issues" in East Africa: Education, Health, and Environment. East Africa is a place close to my heart. I know the difference that love, belief, and understanding can make in this beautiful part of the world. Join with me as I REFLECT back on this amazing journey!

Pledge: No Fast Food (or dessert) for 2 Months!


Alright folks.  I'm not going to eat any fast food for 2 months.  And I'm also not going to eat any desserts that are not homemade, which is going to be wayyyyyy harder for me.  I gots to have me some homemade chocolate chip cookies sometimes, or if my roommate Kelsey makes blondies, then I definitely need to partake.  But ice cream, oreos, all that good stuff is outta here.  My madre made me feel pretty guilty about my sweet tooth when I visited home this past weekend....there were no sweets to be found.  Zero. Nada. Except for dark chocolate, but sometimes that just doesn't satisfy the way 5 Oreos dipped in milk do.  Know what I mean?

I will miss you, Oreos.
I don't eat a lot of fast food anyway, but I decided to cut it out entirely as I being to train more hard core for 3P3W. The kicker was tonight when I had Wendy's for dinner (Double stack and a small fry)...I ate about 2 hours before playing soccer, and the food felt like a brick in my stomach, therefore I played terrible. T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E.  And I felt that bad as well.  Sometimes I feel that fast food is a necessity, because I often work through dinner time, or I'm on the road for hours going to an away game. BUT I can be better prepared (PB&J anyone? and maybe some grapes? Or some spare granola bars in the glove compartment...), to prevent the need to ever, ever, send my Honda Fit to a drive thru window.   I hope that in two months I will feel better and will train better because I'll be putting healthier foods into my system. Sorry McDonald's, Wendys, Taco Bell, Cookout, Chick-Fil-A, Arbys, Five Guys....you will not be seeing me for a long while.
