I ate half my body weight tonight
This morning I had to fast for a blood test to get me some life insurance. I've only been covered by Bill's military policy for 10k for the past 9 years! Its not something that we think of all the time but finally we did it and Im prolly going to be worth more dead than alive. Pretty grim! So finally the lady leaves the house at 945 and Im starving but have a 10am nail appt and my nails were looking trashy so I didnt want to be late for that. Quick grabbed a granola bar and had a real cup of coffee at the salon. Finally home (with very pretty nails) I ate a huge lunch. Like way too big but I was starving!! Then a cupcake to go with it. I drop Cam off at Pk and come home for a lil bit and off again to the Chiro. Home again for an hour and off to the gym to teach my class and do a quick workout. I told the kids we'd be going to McD's for dinner. Its 7pm and we're all ravenous by this point. The drive thru was super slow and we dont end up home till 745! I cannot believe I actually at a quarter pounder, med fry, another small fry(cuz Lauren didnt eat hers), and two cupcakes. Yes that totaled 3 cupcakes in one afternoon/evening. Real cute. OH dont forget the med Sprite. Finished that too. Then I get online and watch some video that was onmy Yahoo homepage about Jamie Oliver ranting about "meat treated with ammonia." I will not be going back to McD's next week. Here Im thinking it would be a good treat for the kids after my class and Idont have to cook....blah blah blah. All I know is the ground beef I buy will be selected way more carefully from now on. I think its just the ground beef that is under fire. Not sure about ground chicken or turkey. There's a local farm around the corner. I'll give them a call for our beef from now on. Might be worth the extra money to know that it's fresh. Or maybe I can just have Stop and Shop grind it for me. Either way, that really bothered me. So here I sit super fat and stuffed from mystery meat (McD's claims they stopped using the pink sludge last year but who the hell really knows) and way more french fries and cupcakes than I ever should have consumed. Fasting this morning really threw me off in a big way! Anyway, I've been off my cooking game since B left so I need to sit and do a meal plan again. I love doing that. It helps at the grocery store and makes my life easier at home. So tired. This week has been a blur and it's not stopping anytime soon. Holy crap my eyes are stinging. Its time to get to bed.

If you get beef from your local farm be prepared for it to taste very different. My in-laws have cattle and used to give us half a cow. The steaks were good but the ground beef tasted so strange. Maybe I have grown accustomed to all of the antibiotics and ammonia. :)
