Since when is a venti soy chai a full breakfast? I had to be at the gym at 5:30 this morning, and so didn't want to eat that early. Since I go to work directly from the locker room, I had to improvise for breakfast. The fact that I'm dirt poor combined with the fact that I need to watch my calorie intake led me down soy chai lane.
I'm not entirely sure where the logic came from, but it seemed completely reasonable at the time. Now I realize that while I kept my calories to a reasonable level for breakfast and did get a good dose of protein, I also consumed a... how shall I put this... buttload of sugar. Ugh. I'm so angry at myself and at Starbucks for making such sugary spicy foamy delicious concoctions.
Oh. Did I mention that I added whipped cream? Yeah. Then there's that.
I had a random craving yesterday, but I managed to get through it okay. I think the gym is helping. I was stretching this morning and this guy came over to use the machine I was next to. He was covered in tattoos and reeked of cigarettes. My first thought was, "what are you doing in a gym?" I guess it takes all kinds, as the cliché goes.
More on the gym later.
For now, I'm going to dwell on my utterly preposterous notion this morning that soy chai constitutes a healthy breakfast.
