Fitness Goals.

I was talking to my wife today about her calorie count for the day, she's dropping it soon.  I want to be fit but if I can't eat the good stuff then what's the point?

I see these fitness people trying to drop those last few inches so they restrict their diet to broiled chicken and rice cakes.  I don't understand that.  What's the point of looking like an Adonis or Aphrodite if you only eat boring and tasteless stuff?

Am I ever going to look like some Greek god?  I'm not betting on it.  I'm getting into the working out part but if I can't eat a cheeseburger or cheesecake periodically then have I really gained anything?
