Food, schmood

During today's run, I started thinking about my dinner o' champions: a calzone with italian sausage and veggies. Yes, it was tasty last night, but in the morning I was feeling a bit guilty and/or worried about my nutrition as runner :(

On the one hand, here are some foods that I know are healthful AND that I love:

• oatmeal (SO comforting)
• bananas
• peanut butter (my fuel of choice)
• turkey (deli meat for sandwiches)
• tuna (lots of protein)

On the other hand, here are some foods that I also love:

• burgers (protein, eh?!)
• fries ('nuff said)
• pizza/calzone (e.g., last night)
• ice cream
• beer/red wine (aiming for moderation while training)

I'm aware that I shouldn't label foods as good or bad, and I also know that there are times when fries and a big ole beer are needed ASAP. I'm not giving up my also-loves, and I should be happy that I dig many types of healthy fruits and veggies and protein-packed foods. But it's still a challenge, so I'm going to be open about it.
