I arrived at the park to change into my workout clothes as the wind was picking up and a cold, wet snow was flying. Normally, I’d embrace this weather, but my office was cold all day and I was partially frozen and not looking forward to working out in cold slop. I climbed back in my car and drove home to put in time on the trainer instead. I managed to get through a couple of more episodes of the ‘West Wing’ before deciding I’d dropped enough sweat. I showered and drove to meet Holly at BJ’s.
I
have to admit that the frozen dinner section at BJ’s really appeals to me. I’m a convenience kind of guy and I know that
I can come home, throw something in a toaster oven and by the time I’ve
showered, it’ll be ready to eat. I also
know its likely going to have more of something I shouldn’t eat than fresh
food. Holly will be traveling again soon
though, so I grabbed some chicken pot pies and put them in the cart. When Holly saw them, she decided our dinner
plans had been made. I picked up some
other junk that I’ll not mention unless I break down and eat it at some
point. Mostly, it’s for Jack, but I may
be tempted in the weeks to come.
I
made a smoothie to go with the chicken pot pies, which were delicious and
fattening. I felt bad about not doing
the Survival Workout before riding the trainer…if I had, I wouldn’t have felt
nearly as guilty about the dinner. Well…there’s
a break expected in the weather for Sunday and if so, I’ll ride long on a
refurbished UB Express.
