Culinary Confessions

I’m pretty sure that the article encouraging readers to eat lots of protein and carbohydrates after working out didn’t intend for me to eat french toast and bacon for supper. On the upside, it was multigrain bread and I had it with apple juice. On the downside, there was butter and maple syrup involved.

I ate McDonald’s three times this past weekend. Once during one of six trips to pick up wedding stuff, once the day of the wedding and once after finally returning the last load of wedding stuff (two days after the wedding). On the upside, I drank water instead of pop every time (ordering an extra bottle two out of three times) and only had fries twice. On the downside, I had McChicken sauce and salt with my fries both times.

The wedding was this weekend and I ran my tail off. Six trips in the truck the day before the wedding, lots of lugging and hauling and setting up…then more the day of the wedding, lots of dancing and then tearing down and lugging shit back the day after. On the upside, I didn’t have a minute to sit and likely burned a zillion calories. On the downside, there was a lot of yummy, junky food around to eat and I didn’t always choose well. Vegetables were few and far between.

I went for a bike ride last night and another one tonight. On the upside, yay team! On the downside, bugs. Lots and lots of clouds of white bugs. I guess there’s an upside to that, too, though — protein!

I bought myself a new lunchbag last week. On the upside, today’s bag had apple juice, an orange, porridge, a couple of Pirate cookies and some dark chocolate in it. On the downside, I had a cinnamon bun for breakfast and a bacon sandwich for lunch.

Obviously, I’m into bacon these days. On the upside, it’s bacon! On the downside, it’s bacon.
