The awesome Elvis from “Harum Scarum” – one of my top films as a child!
It was only last week that I attempted something that I understand Elvis one tried; eating ridiculous amounts of junk food.
I have no excuses and I offer one pathetic explanation of my sins; I had function after function and I just went for it.
Chocolate, Wine, Desserts, Pasta, Prawns – you name it. I indulged on the modern luxuries. As this all played out, it was by about Friday then to Saturday that I felt really bad. In just a week my jeans barely fit me, I felt like I was 110kg and I have gone all healthy and now back to normal.
I actually feel great again right now and I made that typical mistake that many of us (especially me) make in terms of just having too much junk food.
I did some research on this topic and I have been exploring the urban myth of what Elvis ate before he died. According to the legend (which I think is true), he ate on a Daily Basis enough to sustain that of a multi-tonne Asian Elephant.
Apparently he had a penchant for 30cm long bread rolls stuffed with bacon, peanut butter and strawberry jam. Also I heard he liked to snack on deep fried white bread. Elvis is only a true professional. Either do it or don’t right?
Thinking about the awesome Elvis to this extreme has been not only laughing, but looking into the dark mirror questioning my own behaviour from last week. Here is the problem, I lacked moderation!
Instead of just enjoying some junk food and having some wine; I just had to take it to the extreme to create a situation where it all catches up with you a few days later. It’s very easy to say “NO WINE” or “NO CHOCOLATE” but having just that “ONE POTATO CHIP” is really hard.
However, I am doing it now and it’s great! Right now I am feeling great and my goal is to keep it that way. Health is critical and I must stop being silly in that I only appreciate it when I am feeling down.
Here is to moderation and stay tuned; the past does not equal the future and I am going to deliver on this one.
Love your work, god bless the awesome Elvis and stay awesome.
P.S. I had to include a shot from one of my favourite Elvis films “Harum Scarum”.
