JUST KIDDING, I eat it all, but in between brookies and stuffed pasta shells I eat tasty things like kale salads and green juice, and I joyfully spring out of bed at 5:45 AM every day to go work out. Kidding, again, I roll myself out of bed and stumble across the room, turn off my obnoxiously loud alarm that I bury below my workout clothes, I mumble a few choice words about how much I don’t want to wake up, but then I do it… because there’s no way I’m giving up pizza, breakfast burritos or brookies anytime soon!
