junk food day

Today was a laaazy junk food day. Yah, I had stuff I had to do. Yah, there was healthier food in the house. But some days, I just want some good ol greasy potato chips. Know what I mean?

Woke up late. Had:
-1/2 lemon danish (yuck...won't be doing that again!)
-very small bowl of of raisin bran crunch, then
-hillshire brat (these things seem to be neverending!) slathered in mustard because I wanted something warm

Lunch consisted of lay's salt and vinegar chips, dipped in french onion dip to cut the citric acid. I must have eaten too many since the fake vinegar practically ate my mouth away. I actually realize that I don't like these as much as I used to. Guess I've been spoiled by Kettle Chips' salt and vinegar. SOOOO much better!

After forcing myself to get out of the house and go to yoga (a great streching session by a militial barking "yogi"), I came home to baked salmon for dinner. Not usually my favorite, this version was nice since it didn't have the heavy salmony taste that keeps me from really liking salmon. Blanketed in a mayo-based sauce with sweet peppers and mushrooms, the fish was perfectly cooked. Definitely tasted better than it sounds. I went back for seconds! Roasted asparagus and green beans kept it healthy, while some sourdough toast soaked up the small amount of sauce on my plate. It felt bad-yet good- all at the same time! (I was told-by my mom-I had to eat salmon if I was going out on a date the next day so I would be beautiful. Guess that was some wasted salmon tonight!)

If you haven't noticed yet, I really like toast.

The night ended with a drumstick and a chocolate lace cookie. What an indulgent day! Tomorrow's 4.5 mile run will make up for it...
