Welcome to My Blog!

Welcome to my blog! Before we continue, I'd like for you to take a moment and put yourself in the following scenario...

4:45 a.m. Monday morning. Alarm chiming in your ear to get you up and going for that morning work-out after a long weekend of debauchery. (We all know how hard that is and 75% of the time, you're hitting the snooze button over and over, only to find yourself running 15 minutes late by the time you're up and going.) For this scenario, let's say you were a good boy or girl and did a full hour of intense cardio, and you even stretched before and after! Rushing back to your house, you quickly shower and attempt to prepare a healthy breakfast before jetting out the door to beat morning traffic. (Half of the time you don't even prepare breakfast; you just rush out the door and grab something on the way or do not eat at all! No bueno mi amigos - tisk tisk tisk.)

You sit at a desk all day or do what you do, but eight to ten hours later, you're turning around and making the long haul back home in rush hour traffic. An hour later...extremely annoyed with those drivers who can't drive (but you're the best driver on the road), you drag yourself into your house...STARVING...and find that you have nothing to eat. The last thing you want to do is take the time to cook; you're already famished! So, you run to the nearest restaurant. (In my case, this usually consists of whatever is near - Jimmy John's, Subway, Jimmy Green's (bar food), Lou Malnati's (Chicago deep dish pizza) or Chinese take-out.)

Twenty pounds later, you are wondering how in the world you put on all this weight! Your clothes are too tight and your self esteem is shot! Well my friends, you have your diet to thank! Sure sure, go ahead and make every excuse in the book (I know I sure do), but it boils down to you asking yourself the title of my blog - Hungry? Healthy? How? You know you are hungry, but chances are you probably don't want something healthy at that moment. You want it quick and easy.

The purpose of my blog is teach YOU how you can turn hungry into healthy, but still be satisfied and not deprive yourself of the foods you love (i.e. not living on salads for the rest of your life). More importantly, I want to share how one can find the time to incorporate daily activities such as fitness, work, and socializing into their busy life while still being able to eat healthy!
I am no expert at this, but I hope to become one.  So many of us are in this situation, and I would love to share the secrets I learn with you through my journey. After all, this scenario pretty much sums up the past two years of my life! Thanks for stopping by - ENJOY!
