Busy couple of days; no time to post, and not much to post, other than congrats to everyone else who’s officially made it through the first month of the year, training program intact.

I almost slipped into Super Monster on the way home from work Thursday. I was a little famished from the 5 miler on Wednesday, and since the iTunes\/Pepsi promotion<\/a> is in full swing again, I figured I’d stop by, pick up a free song and some cookies since I’d been so<\/b><\/em> good the last few days.<\/p>\n (Yes, I cheat. First, it’s stupid easy to do. Second, Apple\/Pepsi only had to pay out like 5 million of the 100 million songs they gave away last year – my guess is that of the general public, market penetration is maybe 20% have any interest in using iTunes, the other 80% will just throw the caps away)<\/p>\n Anyhow, they only have leaded Pepsis with the caps, but I buy one anyway, figuring that I can hold myself to the half bottle that is actually a serving. (I did, BTW, and saved the rest for Friday) Then I go to look at the Monster aisles.<\/p>\n Strangely, even the Hostess cupcakes don’t look appetizing when I realize that almost everything I can get runs about 400 calories per plastic packet. It’s the wrong time of year to get the baseball cupcakes, though. But nothing was really appealing when I actually thought about it.<\/p>\n Then, I see “The Bomb”. Parliament starts running through my head, and I figure I’ll pick it up and see exactly how awful the burrito is for you. I love burritos. I flip over the package and<\/p>\n I ALMOST DROP THE DARN THING! THE FIRST THING I SEE IS LIKE 600 CALORIES AND LOTS AND LOTS OF FAT!<\/b> <\/p>\n Wow, I think as I set it down. That’s like over a quarter of the day’s calories. My mind says to take another look, so I do. THE 600 CALORIES IS FOR ONE SERVING. The burrito is technically TWO servings.<\/p>\n So between the 20 oz Pepsi in my grubby palm and the burrito, I’m looking at, no lie, 1600 calories.<\/p>\n I bought a carton of skim milk (and the Pepsi) instead.<\/p>\n 3 miles on the treadmill to get even with the week’s mileage. And more importantly, a new appreciation for how bad 7-11 really is for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Busy couple of days; no time to post, and not much to post, other than congrats to everyone else who’s officially made it through the first month of the year, training program intact.
