Yeah, I know, this is two days in a row I’ve eaten a ton of salty foods. The pizza is gone now, though. The other half of the Subway Club will be gone tomorrow. It sure did hit the spot tonight, though.

I got the traditional turkey, ham, and roast beef to start out with, then had them add lettuce, onions, banana peppers, jalapeno peppers, cucumbers, and hot mustard. If you guys ever need tips on what to eat on your sub sandwich, you just let me know. I know just what goes good with just about any of the Subway sandwiches, be they fitness specials or meatball artery-cloggers.

Papa John’s 14-inch Pepperoni Pizza, Whole Wheat Crust 4.00 1,200

For my traditional birthday pizza, I went with something unusual. Papa John’s has been advertising their new wheat crust pizza for a little while now, and since it was on sale for pretty cheap for a one-topping, I figured I’d give it a try. I don’t think it’s anywhere near health food, but hell, any little bit helps, right? Otherwise I’m mopping the grease off the top of my pie and eating wheat crust for nothing.

Actually, I kind of like the wheat crust better than the white crust. It’s a little more toothsome, has a little more flavor to it, but doesn’t overwhelm the rest of the pizza. It also seems to microwave a little better the next day without changing texture too badly. I hope it sticks around, because I intend on sticking with it.

That was a really bad day for me. Free barbeque at work for lunch and hot wings for dinner as part of a slightly early birthday celebration means I absolutely trashed my calorie goal for the day. I want to keep it under 1600 calories a day, either before or after working out, and I had over 2000. Yeesh. Still, my workout got me back to barely under my goal, so at least there’s that. And hell, you only turn 27 once, right? One bad day won’t kill me.

More leftovers for lunch/dinner. That would be the light meat breaded and fried chicken and the mock rolls, all from Texas Roadhouse, as well as the last of the Stuoffer’s Harvest Apples (which are excellent, by the way). I was hungry and it had to be eaten, plus it was good, so I’m going to cut myself a lot of slack during Birthday Week. So long as I’m not gaining weight, I’m going to relax a little (and keep up my workouts, of course).

I had my early birthday dinner with my parents on Tuesday (my birthday is on Friday 8/8), hence the steak and baked sweet potato and Texas Roadhouse mock rolls. I love those rolls, even though I know they’re way to calorie-filled to enjoy on a regular basis. Still, you have to have at least one day a week where you can just enjoy yourself reasonably, and I figure steak and rolls once in awhile is good for the spirit, as well as the body.

Had a CORN festival yesterday, what with all the leftover Chinese food, leftover soup, and leftover apples. Y’know, Clean Out Refrigerator Night? I also finished off the last of a bag of rice crisps with the apples, which made a good, relatively healthy dipping combination. Not as good as chips and salsa, but hey, it was decent for dessert-ish food.

Note: The HEB Rotisserie Chicken is not actually that. It’s some sort of jalapeño-infused Asian chicken I got from Max Orient at the mall. Odds are it’s got way more calories than this filler food, but I had to put something there and I figure the honey balances out the stir-frying sauce or whatever they use. Most of this stuff is based on guesstimates, anyway, which is why I try to stay under my daily calorie goal even before working out, just to be safe.

I also drank some Diet Coke, Powerade Zero, and a cup of coffee at the movies. I wish there was some way I could create tables on here, or copy over the tables from The Daily Plate. If someone knows a way, let me know.
