53. ERIC STRANGIS: WHY DRY JANUARY RUINS FEBRUARY
In today's episode, we’re going to be exploring the topic of restriction. Have you ever found yourself following a restrictive diet or fitness regime? Have you avoided social events because of being overly restrictive, was it best to just avoid temptation all together and when is too much restriction bad for you? Joining me today to dissect this topic is my partner in crime, my husband Eric Strangis(@ericstrangis) and we’re here today to discuss Restriction: When is it all too much? With dry-January behind us, I wanted to talk about this topic at a time when it wasn’t going to discourage anyone from making better choices for themselves. But I have to ask the question…. what’s the point in taking part in dry January if you’re chomping at the bit for a drink on February 1st?
