Three Meals Out in Three Days.

About two weeks ago I ran 8 miles and it was about 60 degrees outside.  I kept around an 8:30 per mile pace. Yesterday it was about 80 degrees and I ran 7 miles...I struggled to keep an average pace of 8:52 per mile, my heart rate was well over 170 per minute the entire time. Crazy right? It's either the humidity or all the grease pumping through my body after three weekend trips to restaurants.  

We went on a little adventure this weekend from Friday to Sunday to see my family in the DFW area. We ate out three times over the weekend (Whataburger, Mi Cocina-Irving, and Saltgrass.) The other meals where made by my parents...and they were good. My parents either eat fairly well most days or they really bring their "A" game when their trainer son and family come home. 

What I once thought was a real treat isn't anymore. I use to love going to Mi Cocina and getting fajitas, chips and salsa. Now, I'd rather have my wife's home made/grease free fajitas any day (Eating For LIfe recipe.) I also had some Whataburger fries, which I use to really enjoy on special occasions, and my stomach felt terrible for hours after. 

I had three meals out over a three day period...never again will I do that. I don't know how people can function with that much grease/fat/lard in their system. That food was never meant to fuel our bodies...trust me.
