Well, today I have a thousand and one errands to run, and I've been out for 4 hours already. Huge mistake? Didn't pack anything for breakfast! Seriously, what was I thinking?

I'm sitting in my car, in a McDonalds parking lot as I type this. My stomach was literally in pain (that is what hunger feels like to me now) and that is ALWAYS a bad sign, because once that happens, it seems to stay painful all day, even after I feed it. And feeding it when it feels this way hurts, too. That's my reality.

There is NOTHING around for me to get a healthy option- and my tummy is very

Picky... Soooo. Drive through it was.

Ordered the single, small sausage Breakfast burrito. Then proceeded to unwrap it, and eat the insides - mostly, happily!, scrambled eggs, some cooked bell peppers, and oh yeah, may have found a tiny chunk of sausage in a couple places.

I was beating myself up for this the entire time I'm eating. So, did a Google search- and while the fat content isn't LOW, I think for the circumstances, and the fact that it's a one time thing, I didn't do too badly.

What do you guys "beat" yourselves up for, nutritionally speaking?

I think you did fine! I don't worry about fat, I worry about carbs.

My out on the run breakfasts?

Bacon egg and chees'e biscuit at Chick Filet. Ask them to make it in a bowl and they will leave off the biscuit.

McD's sausage cheese' $1 McMuffin. Take off the top (or the bottom, whichever is bigger).

Sonic's Junior bacon, egg' and cheese' burrito, insides only.

Wawa's breakfast' bowls are customizable.

Ham and cheese' slices at any market's deli counter. Make your own roll ups in the car. (I do this at lunch', too. I add a few pepper or onion strips from the salad' bar for variety. Costs pennies.)

Beef Jerky' and a cheese' stick from a convenience store. (Most of them around these parts carry good quality protein' bars' and shakes' nowadays, too!)

We're truckers and are actually at a loves truck stop and I'm getting 2 scrambled eggs for breakfast...30 Protein..bam. so there are good thinks to eat at most places just gotta think..or Google their menu before you get there.

Soma? Never heard of it?

"VS" as in "variable speed" (drill) -nothing dirty intended.

You know how us guys love our power tools. You should see this little beauty of a variable speed drill I have, light weight, dual speeds (0-450RPM, 0-1500RPM), 20V lithium-ion battery, etc., oh yeah!

(I know you meant Victoria's Secret" )

Don't let 'em fool ya.....some of these chics are down with power tools.

Just look at the way their eyes glaze over when they talk about B.O.B.

VS sucks all the way around. Back in the day when I still fit in their crud, my sister went to buy me something for a birthday or whatnot. She was large, and the lady looked her up and down and told her in a very snooty voice that they didn't have anything that would fit *her*.

I get my best fit (for now anyway) with LB. But I have friends who are very hard to fit (small ribcage, huge breasts) and they swear by Soma. Pricey, to say the least, but there's nothing like a bra that really fits. They say the Soma stuff lasts a really long time if you take care of it, too.

As for food stuff, I just got released to full diet yesterday, so I haven't had much of the "caught out, must eat something" but I don't think that's too bad. When I got released to purees I was craving refried Beans, and the texmex fast food place we use doesn't have them alone anymore. So I got a bean burrito and ate the insides with a fork. I think there are acceptable fast food options if we just stop and think it through.

Damn. Not me. Once considered dating a guy who worked on an oil rig. Now THATS some drilling.

I need a shower.

I prefer Soma anyway. I've always had good service at the one here, and to me the quality of the undergarments is far superior to VS. highly recommend.

Just came from Soma. My girls are VERY VERY HAPPY. Thanks for the suggestion!

This thread is filled with awesome-ness.

And to think it all began by Miss Mergs feeling guilty as she ate smallish sausage.

Now....she's been coached by all to embrace the sausage and do so with vigor.

Remind me to never mention any of the words "variable speed", "drill" or "batteries" in a post again; or at least not without including the words "cold shower".

Omg. Would rather embrace the sausage than the stall...

Bahahah. I crack myself up sometimes!

Don't forget "silver bullet"

Oh wait. That was a different thread.

Apologies.

Brb.....searching for "silver bullet of peace" thread....

Thinking of starting a new thread titled, "Things I embrace......". I'm a staunch advocate for NOT embracing a stall. There other stuff that needs embracing. We can all pile on with the stuff we now embrace.
