Am I Serious?

OK I need a gut check here. Saturday I started my structured training for the adventure race season. I’ve been having a great time, running, riding and paddling. Sunday we had quite a crew at Cougar Mountain for a two hour trail run. It was a great way to catch up with a lot of friends.

I’ve had an easy time getting back into my training, but eating properly is another story. Today I did an easy paced 41 mile ride with Cyril. On my ride back from his house I just had to have ice cream. I rode to the QFC and bought a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Peanut Butter Cup. When I got home I ate the entire pint. Am I serious? I then went back out for 20 minutes of hills that I wanted to check off my training plan and felt awful. Ben & Jerry don’t know shit about endurance training, and they must go. Tomorrow I start over.

Nobody can resist eating a full pint of peanut butter cup from B&J's, at least you rode 41 miles first. Is it bad for you if you do that while sitting on the couch?

Sometimes it's better to eat the whole thing and get it out of the house. That way it doesn't sit there tempting you over time. At least that's what I tell myself.

Well at least it was peanut butter and chocolate. If it was mint chip or something that would be another issue entirely.

Can it get any better than a full pint of peanut butter cup ice cream and blow job?

I think not!

Matt, what's your body fat %? Before and after the Peanut Butter Cup?
