Me and about 15 of my most awesome fitness boot camp clients ran a
half-marathon through the Santa Cruz Mountains this past Sunday. We ran
uphill BOTH ways, had to keep our footing over some pretty treacherous cliffs,
ran through creeks, practically crawled under trees, jumped over logs and,
unfortunately, a couple of ladies got stung by hornets before the last 2 miles
were re-routed. It sounds like a horror story but it was actually an incredible
experience. I already can’t wait to do it again next year.
But as we were “carbing up” on Saturday night (yeah, yeah, that’s what that
was all about I swear!) and I was piling my plate high with food in preparation
for the event Sunday. I got to thinking about how easy it is to develop a
distorted view of how much of everything we should be eating and what we
actually are eating, even healthy stuff.
I have this quiz that I give to new members of my Boot Camp program about
portions. I think it might be eye opening for you to take it and see how well
your eyeball “scale” is calibrated.
I posted it below. It’s a fun, quick quiz. Take it and see where you stand on
your portion knowledge.
