i opted for the state food of northern california, a burrito. more particularly, a san francisco-style burrito. rumor has it (and by "rumor," i mean "wikipedia") that these burritos started in san francisco in the 60s. forget those minuscule, flaccid things from taco bell that taste like binder paper, our burritos are about the size of newborn babies.
i cut my bean & cheese fiber bomb in half to deceive you into thinking that i wouldn't actually finish it. but as they say in france, "le LOL."
i didn't bother eating those chips, though. they're just fried corn tortillas and since corn is why america is fat, i stuck to huffing my 1,400-calorie burrito in four minutes flat. i'm not out of breath or sweating, which means that i'm in great shape for competitive eating and awful shape for the rest of life.
the salsa was good, the beans needed seasoning, but they stifled my anxiety about moving, so, y'know, mission accomplished.
SNEAK EATS: since old habits die hard, i did have a few undocumented snacks today. i know that undocumented snacks are evil because they want to steal jobs from local snacks, but they do the dirty work that no other snacks will, namely providing cheap calories to keep me from going hungry.
today's contraband items: one piece of white bread with dulce de leche (maybe 1.5 tablespoons, emotional eating), a grande iced latte from starbucks (2% milk, needed caffeine to stop feeling bad about earlier emotional eating and had to have enough milk to neutralize the coffee), another tablespoon of dulce de leche (boredom eating) and a few radishes (bored at the taqueria, waiting for my burrito).
so i'd give myself a D- in dietary choices for 9/28/09.
good news: a lot of fiber from the beans, some calcium from milk
bad news: tons of white bread and sugar
to think about for tomorrow: less processed food, more living food
oh, well.

don't forget to add to the good news "didn't eat chips that were on plate" as that is impressive!
