I realized this afternoon that so far today, I've eaten all my meals at McDonald's. I was in a rush this morning, so I did the Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit drive-through for breakfast. Then I was running late over lunch, so I did the Double Cheeseburger (plain, please) and Supersize Diet Coke for lunch.
I realized my McMistake as I visited the bathroom yet again this afternoon. It seems that (how to put this nicely?) McDonald's puts a lot of "fillers" in their food. How's that for TMI* for ya?
I should have driven an extra block and gone to Whole Foods for a nice slice of Grilled Veggie Pizza. But by the time I would have driven there, parked the car, gone in, order said slice of pizza, waited for guy to heat it up in the brick oven, grabbed bottle of tea, paid, and gone back to car...I would have been late.
What a shame that decisions like these are based on time. What a shame that we pay the price with our health. Or our weight.
It's easy to make up for one day, but I know folks that do this a LOT. And pay the price.
Luckily, my schedule has eased up this evening, so I plan to pop over to Whole Foods and get a slice of the aforementioned pizza. Yum. Time to stop and smell the pizza!

Ooh, that pizza sounds so good that it's *almost* enough to get me to heave myself off the couch to get a real dinner. Instead, I'll probably stick with the cheeses squares and saltines I was already planning on. (Maybe I'll have a bag of microwave kettle corn for dessert.)
A McMistake once in awhile isn't going to kill you.
I'll admit that once in a while I do love a plain ole cheeseburger from there.
