Truthful Tuesday

Ugh. You guys. I've been eating the worst food! I started coming down with a cold Friday night, which was impeccably bad timing given I had to run 5 miles in a road race on Saturday. It's a pretty annoying cold too, lots of nose blowing and coughing and general I-want-to-do-nothing type of malaise. And I've been using that to my full poor eating choices advantage. You know what they say right? Feed a cold, starve a fever. Since I have a cold and no fever, clearly the answer is eat all the things.  So Saturday after the race my running buddy and I met back up for a quick lunch and I was fairly well behaved. I had a bagel and lox, which is perfectly acceptable post race food. It's dinner that was the real problem...
I went to Five Guys. And our Five Guys isn't your typical Five Guys either. They opened it up right down the street from Way Back Burger. Way Back Burger is actually pretty decent and has some unique menu items from your typical burger joint. They offer fries of course, but they also have house made potato chips (yum!). Additionally, they have a pretty incredible selection of milk shakes. Thus, Five Guys knew they had to something a little different here to compete. They left the potato chips alone, but they have a small selection of milk shakes on the menu. Most Five Guys don't offer them. Five Guys has the better burger though, for sure, so that's where I went Saturday for my dinner.

AND I got a coffee milk shake.

Cause Moo. I mean, I ran five miles (with a cold... and IN the cold!) so clearly I deserved to eat like I'd run a full 26.2. Right? Sure.

But it doesn't stop there. Nope. Sunday was a nasty day, and I chose to spend it doing very little and snacking on everything bad. I'd say it was a success, you know, if eating crap all day is successful. Since I vowed not to leave the property that day, I had no actual food to make lunch come Monday. So what did I pick up? A Happy Meal. Yes. A Happy Meal. I mean, they are putting My Little Ponies in them this week, so it was totally justified. I got the Mighty Kid Meal which has six Mcnuggets instead of 4 because 4 nuggets does not a meal make my friends. Last night I stopped at the store after riding so I can at least turn things around for the rest of the week. We can just overlook the doughnut I had this morning... They had them for Halloween here at work, and one does NOT turn down a free doughnut. It's some kind of law I think in Connecticut.
Do you have anything you need to get off your chest today? Any poor nutrition choices made this weekend? Or better yet, did you make a  frivolous purchase? Something else entirely?!
