Eat and Eat and Eat

Basketball trips are not good for me. This is one reason why...

This is another reason why...


All we seem to do on basketball trips is eat. We wake up, and go to breakfast. We hang out in our rooms for a little - nap, watch tv, maybe study if we're feeling good, and if we're feeling even better go to the fitness center- and then we eat our pregame meal. We load up the bus for the game, grab some snacks and eat. We play (I use the term loosely), then we have pizza in our locker room. We load up the bus and head back to Lehigh, we have our post game meal waiting for us on our seats. We eat and eat and eat and then eat some more. Do you know what this does to my body?? I like to believe in the concept of moderation, but this just throws me off. I mean how can I deny fresh, cheesy pizza when it's sitting right in front of me wafting smells of deliciousness? And when we stop for Coldstone or Friendly's on our bus rides home, how can I turn down a Like It sized scoop of pure ice cream heaven? I can't and I don't, that's how. I've gotten a LITTLE better recently, but I'm mostly banking on the fact that after basketball ends I will eat better. I MUST eat better. It should be a little bit easier living off of subpar dining hall food for the next month. Somehow old salad bars, pasty grilled chicken, and strange curry noodles just don't compare. Let's hope in a few weeks I'll be on my way towards a healthier, slimmer, more energized new me!
