Hello from Alabama and what I ate.

Hey all.  This morning I hopped in the car to travel to Alabama because it’s Mercedes-Benz Marathon Weekend in Birmingham.  I love this city!  It has a special place in my heart. It’s really cold here though. It’s a big change from home.

The day didn’t start off too well because I left at 4:00 am but I was up half the night because my stomach was bothering me.

I couldn’t eat that much so breakfast was oatmeal and Quest Protein chips.  I received a box of these protein chips and Willie really loves them.  I was really excited to try them but I will admit I was a little disappointed. Tasted a little like cardboard to me. I expected them to taste more like Pop Chips but I was wrong. I’ll have another bag another time, but right now the verdict isn’t looking too great.

I’m traveling with my mom and she’s not as health saavy as I am so we stopped at Applebee’s.  My plan was to not eat anything and just eat something else later.  But I didn’t want to waste much more time so I ate off of The Pub Diet menu. All the items are 600 calories or below.  That’s great, but I’m not just a person who just watches calories, my macros are important to me.  Some of the fat content in this stuff was way too high for me to handle and I already knew I was taking a sodium hit.  I ordered the one thing I felt comfortable eating:  pepper-crusted sirloin with whole grains.  This was a very small portion of food, which is how they control that calorie count.  This meal was 350 calories, 9 grams of fat, 2.5 grams saturated fat and I was OK with that.  It was good, but small.  I ordered a side salad to bulk it up a bit.  It was good, but I don’t frequent Applebee’s that often so I can’t say I would go there again.

Now I’m sitting my hotel room trying to stay warm and watching Shark Tank. I love that show.

Did you eat anything good today? Do you watch Shark Tank?
