Goldfish excess

[kelownagirl]

They weren't Hawkins, they were the soft kind that are like soft orange styrofoam that melts in your mouth. Not one redeeming characteristic, other than I like the taste.

I did burn 1500+ calories today though, and I'm pretty sure I didn't eat that many calories in cheezies...

J-Cloths. I have some of those.

After my 10 slow-paced and pokey miles (equivalent to 1000 of your killer miles due to my severe out-of-shapedness) I had a rare filet mignon, tossed salad with Ranch dressing, mashed potatoes slathered and swimming in butter, and a gallon of sweetened iced tea.

That was four hours ago. Currently I'm contemplating a bowl of double chocolate ice cream but since I don't have any, I'll just dream about it.

After my half marathon I replaced the lost carbs with fluids with a respectable quantity of beer, and a pulled pork sandwich with the best freakin' garlic fries on the face of the earth. And I ate every last one!

I do have to admit that after 120 mile bike ride with 9000 feet of elevation gain, I'd not feel too badly about a whole bag of goldfish. I did 1/3 of that and wondered if I ate enough.

Last night after our long hot climb-y ride I had two Klondike bars and a GIANT bowl of popcorn for dinner. Along with a couple quarts of electrolyte/vitamin water.

After long tandem rides, we go for microwave popcorn. All that SALT.

After I lose ALLLLL the rest of this weight...please introduce me to your cheezies. There is a kind of cheese wafer thing I can only get back home in Albany NY that I love passionately. I forget the exact name, but I took to calling them "Hanford Wafers" because the cheese filling is a BRIGHT fluorescent orange rarely seen in nature. They are so salty and so totally bad and I love them.

PS Wahine, I would like to hear a little about your upcoming endurance ride...

OMG, my other two favourites, but I honestly rarely eat them, are these horrendous Ritz "Cheese" filled crackers that my son has sometimes (and I sneak them once in awhile).

Also, I adore graham crackers with Nutella but that's only slightly bad for me.

Cheese Its

At least it's not Tim Tams

PS Wahine, I would like to hear a little about your upcoming endurance ride...

It's a 12 hour endurance road race. You ride as far as you can in 12 hours. There is a big loop (that's the 120 miles I did this weekend) and a smaller loop, that's relatively flat (only one real climb and that's only 3 miles long - interesting how my perspective has changed). You have to complete the big loop to get an official finish and then you do as many miles on the small loop as possible. I'm doing this as a 2 woman relay team with SprocketsMom. It's on Sept 6th and it's gonna be fun!!! All of my crazy ultra endurance buddies will be there. I'm very excited.

Oh yeah! Do I remember right that the small loop is about 25 miles, or did I just make that up?

I expect you all will have a blast.

Buy your goldfish beforehand.

Gosh, I have not had a Klondike bar in years, until now...had to go out and get some. YUM

[berkeley]

Salt and vinegar chips.

I nearly ate the whole bag the other weekend after a 50 miler.

[Sprocket's Mom]

Can the answer to "what do you eat" be "YES"?

Seriously, there are days where the "see food diet" gets a little out of hand.

but a favorite is Burgerville hot and salty fries dipped into the mocha perk shake. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (need a drooling emoticon here).

I did have a tough day with Wahine but I'm gonna do better...have a new game plan.

what can I do to get a filet mignon? hmmm.

I'm eating a giant bowl of popcorn right now, and I didn't even ride today!
