Ironman Friday

Our two boys have been really excited about the new Ironman movie coming out. I'm not sure why...it will be another 10 years before they can watch it (it's PG-13.) 

Anywho, Burger King is giving away Ironman 2 toys inside their version of the "happy meal." So...Kara and I decided to make two small boys dream come true and eat at Burger King Friday. 


Here is a picture of what I ate...

This was the healthiest thing I could come up with. I got a not-so nutritious grilled chicken salad (made with iceberg lettuce, 3 baby tomatoes and 4 very small carrots, and about 3 oz of grilled chicken.) I then got a whopper dry and tossed the bun and just had the all beef patty. 

All in all, I consumed roughly 350 calories including the honey mustard dressing I drizzled on. Needless to say, I had to toss back some cashews when
 I got home to pump up my afternoon calories. 

My meal was less than spectacular,
 but our two boys loved every minute of their Ironman Friday...

Friday Food
530a-4 energy nugguts, apple
700a-cheerios w/ syntha 6, skim milk, apple
930a-fage 0% and cranberries
1230p-Burger King meal (grilled chicken salad, all beef patty)
130p-Raw cashews and apple
330p-3 energy nuggets
630p-chicken fajitas (2 corn tortillas, grilled chicken, green peppers, onions, salsa) 
1000p-no nitrate turkey hot dog (no bun), avocado, 10 crunch master gluten free crackers

Overall, it was a pretty bad day for food...very little vegetables. No vegetables for breakfast, only 3 baby tomatoes, and 4 small carrots for lunch, and a few pepper slices for dinner. I don't count iceberg lettuce as a vegetable because it has very little nutritional value. My overall calories where fine...but the lack of veggies really hurt me. 

Weekend workout plans
Today Cowboy Jeff and I moved, what felt like, a 1,000 lbs desk (just kidding...it was probably more like 400lbs) upstairs. You laugh...but it was exhausting. Tomorrow, Ken and I are running 11 miles and then following that up with a 10 mile ride on the spinners. I'll update on how that went on Monday.
