We went to Pittsburgh this past weekend and, as is the case when you travel, it's hard to eat right. So, chronicled what I ate and it isn't pretty. It's hard to believe that I used to eat like this all the time, sans the salads and fruit.
Roy Rogers on the turnpike:
Chicken sandwich, side salad, iced tea
McDonald's Friday night after we exited the turnpike in Cranberry:
BBQ chicken wrap
Hotel room:
two beers
Saturday morning at Eat 'n' Park:
veggie omelette, home fries, rye toast, orange juice, coffee
At the Pitt game:
split a nachos and personal-sized pizza, water
Saturday after the game:
a peach
Saturday evening dinner, Max's Allegheny Tavern in Pittsburgh:
garden salad, schnitzel, mashed potatoes, two Penn Pilsners
After Max's, we went into Oakland for some drinks at bar owned by a friend of mine.
Sunday morning:
coffee (my usual breakfast, for many, many years, except when we travel)
Sunday lunch, Wendy's in Carlisle:
99 cent hamburger and 99 cent chicken sandwich, side salad, iced tea
For dinner Sunday, we ordered Chinese as we never cook on Sundays when we come home from traveling.
Naturally, a binge like this just loads one up with salt and fat and all kinds of glop. The food was good and it's always a highlight when we travel but I'll be glad to get back into my normal diet and exercise routine this week.
The reason for the trip was to go to the Pitt-Iowa game. It was my first game in our new seats. We moved down from the 500-level endzone to the 140's, corner endzone. We are up enough so that we can see most of the action. Pitt won 21-20.
We are sorry. New comments are not allowed after 21 days.
