I felt tired all of yesterday and consequently didn’t do my normal walk to the station at Bowen Hills. There’s a McDonalds at Central Station and well I weakened and had one of their soft serve cones. For my fifty cents I got 150 calories, 4.6 gms total fat, 2.9 gms saturated fat, 3.9 gms protein, 22.9 gms total carbohydrates including 17 gms of sugar.
http://mcdonalds.com.au/our-food/menu/# ... serve-coneThere is zero fibre, zero vitamins and zero minerals just sugar, fat and some protein. Talk about empty calories. I’ve got some Ryvita biscuits and salsa at work and they would make a good afternoon snack and much better than anything from McDonalds. We live and sometimes learn.
Today I’m feeling much less tired than I was yesterday. It’s amazing what a good night’s sleep achieves. Tonight I’m planning to do my normal evening walk so won’t be tempted with Mcdonalds plus being less tired my defences will be better.
Moving right along onto a different topic, August should be my second month this year when I have travelled more than 1,000 kms either by walking or on the bike. Currently, I’ve done 976 kms so with one extra day I should crack the magic 1,000 kms. The trick is not to do really long rides but by being consistent in doing something on a regular basis.
