Starbucks! WHY?!
This morning wasn’t like a normal morning. There were 3 inches of snow on the ground, and freezing rain when I got up at 5:20 to go to work, to beat the morning rush and you know, not die getting in to the office. I had to gas up, and realised when I was a decent distance from my house, that I forgot breakfast. No biggie, I am trying to be good, so I thought maybe I would stop by Dunkin Donuts for one o ftheir egg white whole grain breakfast sandwiches. But I prefern Starbucks for the coffee.
The smart thing for me to do in such a situation would have been to hit DD and get the sandwich, and then shoot over to Starbucks for coffee, especially since even under the worst conditions, the local ones are maybe 2 minutes apart. And it was before 6, so there was no line.
No, instead my lazy ass decides to just go to Starbucks for everything. Not exactly a secret if you go back a few days, i am currently trying to lose weight. Here is the DD sandwich fat and calories(Egg White Turkey Sausage Flatbread Sandwich):
Fat: 6 grams, and calories: 280
Not awesome, but pretty godamn good on my current diet (in case you don’t feel like scrolling down, its 40 grams of fat a day and 2000 calories).
Instead, I got this:
Fat: 18 grams, calories: 370
And I said “Godamnit…..” there goes half my fat for the day. I love fat. Typically, I don’t really have to watch what i eat, my diet being pretty easy to follow, but now today, I have to take it easy.
