There was some great marathoning going on over the weekend. Special congratulations to some Richmond marathoners, including Bill,David,Jason, and Sandy. I'm sure I left out several. Please let us know if and how you ran, and tell us when your race story is up. Don't limit your race reports to marathoners either.
Following Amy’s recent post about beer and cookies, I’ve noticed my post marathon recovery has been a bit unconventional. Seems I’m craving certain foods —even thinking about these foods while running.
One food I can’t get out of my head is macaroni and cheese. We’re not talking a special comfort food prepared from somebody’s aunt’s recipe published in a church cookbook with a blend of five cheeses and that mouth-watering golden baked crust. Nope.
I’m all about Kraft macaroni and cheese. Boil water, dump, cook, drain, mix and twenty minutes after cracking open the box, I’m sitting down to a plate that should feed four—and it’s all mine. I would never have been so lucky growing up with my brothers and sisters, so the eating seems more special.
And BTW, whatever happened to that inner voice that used to warn me about eating too much starchy food? We don’t even hear about starch in food anymore. Carbohydratemust be the new starch.
The good news is I’m trying to balance the different food groups. Yup, my meals aren’t only made up of those cheesy elbow shapes. You'll be pleased to know I also eat the character shapes like Rug Rats, Scooby Doo, Spider Man, and Sponge Bob.
Doesn’t the variety in macaroni and cheese shapes somehow constitute a food pyramid?
Today is weigh-in day for the Holiday Weight Loss Challenge and I’ll be reporting for the first time. You can bet my M&C consumption has established a hefty baseline.
If my weight went in the direction of the stock market, I'll be pleased.
