WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE

CAUTION: free food can be dangerous
this post is inspired a bit by Little Miss Runner Pants whose doing some sort of Sparta project inspired by another blogger, Runner Susan, where they photograph everything they eat in a week. unfortunately, i don't think there's enough memory or bandwidth on the planet for me to do the same thing, but when i arrived at my shoot today, it got me thinking about all the temptations and potential for crap calories that i'm faced with on a regular basis.

so one of the many perks of my job is that when i'm on a shoot there's either catering or food is ordered in for the day or two days or the whole week, however long we're on the job. gotta love free food especially when you're training for an Ironman as undoubtedly, you are HUNGRY ALL THE FRIGGIN' TIME. not to mention the economic advantage as FREE FOOD = MORE MONEY FOR TRI CRAP. doesn't the spread above look all posh??? the chafing dishes (not that kinda chafing), the nice white china, the orchids......yeah, until you inspect a little closer...we'll start with the "healthier" stuff....


2 kinds of yogurt, granola, and lemon slices(?)

ok, ok, this is aceptable, what else.....

fruit n croissants

bagels n cream cheese

lotsa bread, some ridiculously thinly sliced fruit and cream cheese. harmless in moderation you say? a'ight, let's open the chafing dishes.....


Pandora's Box: scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, and cheesy potatoes

and let's wash it down with a mini-fridge full of never ending high fructose corn syrup shall we??



"make the healthy choices, monica. there's always a healthier choice in any situation." so this is what i came up with:


a little o' this, a little o' that, but no eggs or french toast or bread
now mind you, this crap sits here ALL DAY, haunting me, tempting me at every moment. lunch was a little better though...


salad with pistachio encrusted chicken, brussel sprouts (YUMMERS) and rigatone pasta in tomato, capers, and kalamata sauce
fuck it. i'll just run my 8 miles tonight, then ride 90 tomorrow, run the Surf City Half Mary sunday, take a nap, then swim my 3200yds. oh, yeah the Super Bowl. GO BRONCOS??? i have no clue about that sport......

happy weekend
