How can this girl be eating cheat meals when she's trying to lose weight and do a triathlon?
Ummm, I'm not sorry that I cheat. It keeps me sane and frankly, I loooooove food. I will scour the area, make the trek and eat whatever I've set my sights upon because I love food that much. Now don't get me wrong people, I don't do this everyday (at least not anymore). I know that I can't make a habit out of this but I tend to do this once during the weekend. It has taken a lot of mental work to keep my food loving brain activity to a minimum. I have a sister who's a chef, and another sister who bakes like nobody's business. Essentially, they've spoiled my palate and sometimes I just want creamy polenta with a sausage ragu, instead of grilled chicken and brussels sprouts.
Without further ado, my cheat meal of this past weekend was a Nica Burger. We went to this little spot called A&G Burger Joint and this burger was specifically why I was there.
It was awesome!! In addition to the Angus beef patty, it had fried cheese, sweet plantains, coleslaw and jalape ño cream. In my opinion, it could have used a bit more vinegar in the coleslaw and a bit more punch (chile) in the jalape ño cream. I have no idea how many calories are in this monstrosity but I made sure to workout both Saturday and Sunday. As I was walking out of the restaurant, I told the waitress I wouldn't be back because I couldn't afford the calories (LOL). There is no way I can eat this frequently, but I was content with my cheat meal of the week.
I will soon have more info to share with you on how we're starting our training, but for now we're doing mostly running. I need to buy a bike!! I'll keep the posts coming...
Peace and chicken grease.
