Breakfast of Losers
I planned to run at lunchtime today, so I brought everything I needed to the office...except breakfast, which is usually dry cereal, yogurt, or chocolate milk. I was starving and would need some fuel for later; it's just that I ended up topping off with low-grade. In fact, the smorgasbord seems kind of gross in retrospect. I had half a greasy leftover cranberry orange muffin, a bag of jalapeno potato chips, part of a slice of stale wheat bread (before realizing it was too stale to eat), a pear, and a banana. Definitely not a breakfast of champions. Probably explains why I felt like crap on an easy 5-mile run. It was kind of warm for my taste too, in the 60s. I can't wait to get a more permanent desk, so I can keep my stash of good-for-you snacks. My friends always make fun of me for having food *everywhere*. Just check my purse.
After work, I forced myself to go the gym. It was dark and seemed later than it was, and I just wanted to go home. I want the long days back but not the heat and humidity. The Rocky theme song was playing on the radio and that got me going again. I lifted upper body and did my pull up/push up routine and abs.
And now my breath is kickin' like chicken because I had a spinach salad with a bunch of healthy stuff, namely garlic. I read in Health magazine the other day that it's supposed to be effective in staving off illness, so I've been adding a couple cloves to dinner occasionally. I like the taste, it's kind of spicy. Just need to make sure not eat any before going out, unless I want some alone time.

Hmmm...in the past your purse stash has on various occassions contained the following treats: a week old PBJ with mold, half-eaten power/cliff bars of unknown date, part of a banana, some kind of stinky cheese, bread/roll, quarter of a pop tart wrapped in paper napkin, green grapes, oranges, apples, pears, taco bell nachos, nacho cheese, taco bell hot sauce, doritos, crushed red pepper packet, a tiny bottle of tabasco, various brands of salt and vinegar potato chips, tea bags, pieces of cookie, brown sugar shredded mini wheats, altoid gum, altoid mints, tarts, crackers, a chunk of soft cinnamon coated pretzel, small plastic container of jalepaneos and on at least one occasion a gigantasaurus kosher dill pickle from potbelly that spilled a prodidgious amount of pickle juice into your purse.

I don't know what's more entertaining, your blog entry or your husband's comment. This is hilarious!
