Over the weekend, I got to thinking about what my biggest vices are when it comes to staying healthy. All in all, I’d have to say that my number one weakness is eating out at lunch time. For whatever reason, I really enjoy escaping the office and grabbing some lunch. Unfortunately, this often translates into less healthy meals than if I simply packed my lunch (not to mention the additional cost). On top of this, we tend to eat out as a family once or twice on weekends.
My other vice (at least in terms of calorie consumption) is that I enjoy high-end (100% agave) tequila, and I actually drink it relatively frequently. While tequila is purported to have a number of health benefits, it’s also packed with calories. And if you mix it? Even more calories.
What about you? What are your vices?
In the interest of generating some participation, I’m going to turn this into a meme. Here are the rules:
- If tagged, write up a short article detailing your biggest health/fitness vice(s).
- Link back to whoever tagged you from somewhere within your article.
- Tag 4-6 more people by linking to them at the end of your article (and be sure to let them know that they’ve been tagged).
That’s it. As for me, I’m tagging the following people:
JD (or Mac) @ Get Fit Slowly
Andrew @ Andrew is Getting Fit
Jim @ Journal of Healthy Living
Israel @ Fat Man Unleashed
Lazy Man @ Lazy Man and Health
NCN @ No Calories Needed
MBH @ Deflabbify
(If you want to play along and didn’t get tagged, feel free to tag yourself.)

Thanks for the tag…
Have you given this agave nectar recipe a try? I think calories from alcohol… as long as you control your intake to some degree can be part of a healthy diet.

Interesting. No, I haven’t tried that recipe. Unfortunately, those bottles of agave nectar cost $30-$40 apiece. That’s quite a bit just to try it out to see if I like it.

30-40 per 6 pack of bottles… I couldn’t find an individual bottle on amazon…

BTW my favorite is Case Noble. Either the blanco or the Anejo depending on the use and my mood.
