My body felt pretty refreshed this morning post duathlon but the sound of my chest wheezing two hours later wasn't cute --I have bronchitis, hold off on the pseudo asthma diagnoses in advance. I was convinced until ten minutes ago that I was going to the gym. My son's refilled my cup twice and hubby boiled water several times as I made lunch and dinner that'll keep us happy for the next two days. After three hours of shuffling around my kitchen listening to Marilyn Manson, Metallica and anyone that sat within that musical territory, I opted to sit down, stuff my face and surrender to the "fuck it" that creeped into my brain. It's okay to hold off my powerlifting session until tomorrow. You're not a failure if you stay home and allow yourself to be a "normal" sick person. Nobody's gonna judge you super hard for downing honey, lemon and ginger. And you're going to enjoy every ounce of your country baby back ribs in another hour with that bomb ass couscous that you made for lunch. (Nah, that's not in this picture.) These are all of the things that I said to myself before opting to show you my plate. I don't believe in "don't miss a Monday" gimmicks. And unlike the handful of keyboard mutant ninja turtles that plagued my inbox after my duathlon finish, I really don't subscribe to diet culture's guilt trips about eating unseasoned food because allegedly "fat people are at a higher risk for type two diabetes." You know what I am scared of more than guilt trips from anonymous people on the internet or missing a gym session? Unseasoned chicken breasts, overcooked vegetables and a pantry loaded with table salt and basic bitch black pepper. Now that's some scary shit. In the meantime, here's my plate. Happy Labor Day (unless there's something depraved about this holiday that I don't know about yet): Grilled Pork Chops, Grilled Chicken Breasts, Spinach, Mushroom and Cherry Tomato Couscous with Cornbread Consider this Sunday dinner on a Monday. Live your best life and gift internet thugs some Sazon. #runningfatchef #food #foodie #foodporn #foodslut #eatarainbow #fiveaday #feedtherunners #cheftalk #foodmakesmehappy #comfortfood (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B17Mx2Rn_Lo/?igshid=1dh33hkr12zf8
