McDonald’s

Okay, who else shudders when they hear Ronald McDonald say (or see it printed on a Happy Meal cup) “It’s what I eat, and what I do!”?

It’s not that it’s not true – the occasional Happy Meal is not going to make a child obese and fronting up to the emergency room with a suspected heart attack. I think I just feel guilty for believing something McDonald’s tells me!

McDonald’s for me is usually a “I’m driving to Newcastle” thing. Stop at the Sutton Forrest Maccas, find something to eat, grab a coffee and continue on. Last time, I was quite concerned reading the nutrition label on the salad I got. Ignoring the dressing, if you get a Caesar salad with “crispy” chicken, you’re going to have twice the fat than if you get the “seared” chicken. Fortunately for me, I made the right choice on the look of the pictures alone. At least the newer products are moving in the right direction :)

So, for me in life it’s is what I eat, but also what I do… I started my new It’s all about me journal yesterday morning – back to writing down my food, my exercise, and being accountable in pen for what I’m eating and how much or little I’m exercising. Also back to stepping on the scales (they were hiding in the garage in a drawer since we moved house) every week or so and letting Rish loose with a tape measure. The good thing about having moles is that we can use them for reference point :)

Goals for today? Drink a lot of water – the BOM is predicting 37 degrees!

I will have my stretch class tonight, which I sorely need because I’m starting to feel Monday night’s Pump class. So I’ll get to the gym, but it’s won’t be a disgusting session at least! :)
