Ohh no! What have I done!

Rode my bike to work this morning, felt great! So I borrow someone's car at noon to pickup some lunch and hit Subway. It's Good Friday so I think tuna sounds good (even though I'm not Catholic). I come back to work and munch down a big 12" tuna sub. Later, feeling satisifyingly bloated, I check Subway's website for their nutritional charts. Holy crap! I just ate 62 grams of fat! I know tuna salad has mayo and wasn't the healthiest choice there, but 62 grams?!? I should really enjoyed myself and got a Whopper and fries.

I'm taking the long way home tonight!

Don't feel bad, everyone has to live a little. You now know to make a different choice later. Concentrate of feeling good about the ride and make that a habit.

Eat a diet coke with it next time. That cancels the calories.

Yeah, at Hardees, you can get that Monster Thick burger. 1400 calories and 107 grams of fat!!! Just what the world needs! I don't think I usually eat 107 grams of fat in a day!!

I didn't say you had to order the Monster burger.
A nce half-pounder should do nicely. About 60-70 grams of fat?
Now that's not so bad.

107 grams of fat, yah I probably do that in a day.

I eat 100-110 grams per day. Of course I know! That's 900+ cals from fat, around 20% of total intake, as recommended my a nutritionist.

I have no clue how many calories, from fat or otherwise, I get in a day. All I know is that this city is hell on the dietary discipline I need to adhere to. So I don't. So I am about 10# heavier than my goal race weight. Oh, shit. I sound like an anorexic woman. Something about this sport sucks when I don't drink beer because of the incremental calorie consumption.
(Just got back from Easter party with the kids -- mayo-laden finger sandwiches, cake, you name it.) Yeah, that's right. blame it on the city, the sport, everyone but me!
