- 4 Totinos pizzas (without an ounce of real cheese)
- 2 cans of Spaghetti-Os
- 2 cans of Chef Boyardee (including CANNED Mac and Cheese)
- Turkey Jerky
Most of the jerky didn’t make it home, and by the time I post this, it will all be gone. And I haven’t had Spaghetti-Os in YEARS - I can’t remember the last time!
So I think I’ll try a new regimen of canned pasta products and fake pizza the day before the Chisago Sprint Triathlon this Sunday. In fact, I think I’ll reserve one of the cans of Spaghetti-Os for just after the race, as I’m watching the half-IM racers finish. So if you’ll be at the race, bring a spoon: you can indulge in a can of goodness with me after the triathlon!
I’m off to start carbo-loading. Just try to stop me...
Check back Sunday evening for a race report (along with a report on how delicious canned Mac and Cheese is...).
Totino's - YUM!
ReplyDeleteLOL cinnamon toast cruch was my faaaav when i was a kid... i dont know if i could stomach it now! i dindt know they made canned mac and cheese either - i dont know how you eat that stuff pre-race! :)
ReplyDeleteLoved this post! My wife no longer allows me to go grocery shopping on account of all the crap I came home with when she sent me to get milk.
ReplyDeletemmm.Alot of those were my favs as a kid.
ReplyDeleteNot a fruit in the bunch. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI do not want to see post-race pics!!
ReplyDeleteYou messed up by not getting the spaghettios with the meatballs. Those little meatballs (I know they are not real meat) are delicious. If they made a can of just meatballs, I would buy it.
ReplyDeleteTotinos need to be cooked (close to overcooked) to be good.
Take my advice. I did not get to be 400 pounds by eating salad.
Good luck at the tri. I am sure you will do great and probably have to poop before the race so get in line early.
I used to lurve those canned meat ravioli when I was in Jr. High. As an adult I tried them again and the meat seemed to bear an uncanny (or is that all to canny) resemblance to sand. mmmmmmmmmmmm.........yummy.....
ReplyDeleteI hope you at least used a coupon!
ReplyDeleteI tried a different mac and cheese last weekend when we had a late dinner after driving up to Sonoma. I guess it was technically shells and cheese since the pasta was more shell-like. I basically like any form of mac and cheese!
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck on your race!
Ummmm...welll..my dog will eat the turkey jerkey.so it's all good..:-))
ReplyDeleteDude that looks like shiz that would be in my cart :-X
ReplyDeleteAh Totinos, how I miss you...
ReplyDeleteIsn't there enough sodium in that stuff to take out a herd of cattle?
Good luck with the tri!
Where are the poptarts and the twizzlers, Then you are talking MY race food!
ReplyDeleteSteve,
ReplyDeleteI read your blog but have never commented. In college I used to eat a can of cold Spaghettios almost every day for lunch...nice. The pic brought back great memories! I also thought wow, maybe this is a legitimate ultra aid station food. Carbs, lots of sodium, hmmm...might give it a try. I'm a Twin Cities guy as well, maybe I'll see you around.
Adam
HAHA!! I think its most interesting how you buy things in multiples of two... save for the Turkey Jerky... speaking of... with all the other items, why not go for the BEEF jerky!?! HA!
ReplyDeleteYou and my husband would get along great. :>)
ReplyDeleteI love spaghetti-os. It's a good thing you're so much faster than me, because you can get a head start on that can before I come at it with my spoon :-)
ReplyDeleteYOu didn't just buy one of each thing, but no, 2-4. I'm guessing the store had 2 for 5 deals and all that, my husband thinks you have to buy however many to get the deal. So if it is 10 for 10, he comes home with 10.
ReplyDeleteDid that happen??
Don't shop hungry!!!
oh god. i used to live off of that kind of food and now it makes my stomach turn just looking at it.
ReplyDeletethats a really god thing (for my figure) but really sucks (for my taste buds).
*sigh. memories. enjoy the cereal, i used to down that stuff like it was ice cream. :)
I think when you eat those Spaghetti-Os, you're going to remember why you haven't eaten them in years!!
ReplyDeleteWho knew they made canned Mac and Cheese???? Don't they have to call it Cheez???
Your punishment for buying all that crap food is 5 hours of Spinervals - LOL!
ReplyDeleteOMG...I HEART ME SOME CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH.
ReplyDeleteOne of my friends wrapped up a box this year for my birthday.
I wish I was kidding.
You have GOT TO SEE THIS:

"Props to the G-Mills..."
See ya next week!
Oh. My. Goodness.
ReplyDeleteSee, when I go Hungry and when I have a "free" day (meaning I've already weighed in at Weight Watchers and I have 6 days before the NEXT weigh in), I go for the Chocolate Covered Peanuts!
ReplyDeleteThe really sad thing is that they make me kind of nauseous when I start eating them, but that doesn't stop me.
Any way...enough true confessions.
Enjoy! and have fun at Chisago. Look forward to reading your RR.
I just found your blog through xt4. I really like the two themes of men's undergarments (or men in undergarments - not necessarily men's) and crappy food. My son wants to move in with you as long as you promise to do all the shopping. Good luck at Chisago. I'll be there competing as well (fat boy division).
ReplyDeleteHahaha. I banned myself from grocery shopping when hungy. It's dangerous. I make poor choices! :)
ReplyDeletewhat toy did you get with the cereal?
ReplyDeleteI don't eat meat, but other than that, I see nothing wrong with your choices. Looks like good training food to me!
ReplyDeleteHA HA!!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband does the same thing. He comes home with bags of corn chips, cans of black olives, Hot Pockets, and bags of the frozen peas/carrots/lima bean mix
Stuff I either cannot eat or refuse to eat. I will use the olives if I am making pizza though.
Have a great race this weekend!
Mac and cheese in a can?! I guess that shouldn't gross me out since it is mac and cheese and all...
ReplyDeleteUh oh.. race report or port-a-potty report?!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
years ago, i was banned from doing the shopping for this very reason. now husband does it all
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what my kids are always putting in the cart! Fortunately, DH loves the stuff, too! Especially the Os. :D
ReplyDeleteoh man those pizzas sound so good right now, haha.
ReplyDeleteYour post reminds me of summers as a kid. My dad was a teacher so he was home with me and my brothers in the summer. We ate a lot of mac & cheese with cut up hot dogs. Yuck. Or his favorite "masterpiece" tator tots with cheese melted on them. Eww. To this day, I can't stand either one!
ReplyDeleteQuestion for you or pharmie....what does she take with her nuun during races? Gels or where does she get the calories? I think I remember you saying she loved the stuff. Can you help? I'm thinking of giving it a try.
ReplyDeleteGood luck this weekend. Maybe you should have the can of Mac and cheese on the bike with you? Just put it in the spot where your water bottle goes. May taste good?
I just goes to show that you need more "fun" food in your life...that's what my ex would say when I sent him to the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. It's nice to have supporters.
Please report back on the mac and cheese in a can.
I love junk food, so all that looks yummy to me! :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck this weekend! Looking forward to the report, and of course, the pics.
Blech, I was so dissapointed when I tried Spagettios a few years ago. I hope you enjoy it all, lol.
ReplyDeleteSpaghetti-o's make me gag!!! But now I can put away some Cinnamon Toast Crunch!
ReplyDeleteI remember eating Chef Boyardee Ravioli out of the can cold, back in my college days. I also seem to remember there was excess quantities of beer involved.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the race.
... where's the cheese-whiz?
ReplyDeleteI totally did the same thing yesterday - although my extras included a box of spiral Kraft mac n' cheese, a brownie mix, a cookie mix, fake cheese pizza and a Dinty Moore chicken & dumplin' dinner. Yay us!
ReplyDeleteEver since my husband bought Koolaid for my kids... he is no longer allowed to do the grocery shopping!!
ReplyDeletebahh humbug on the jerky. You're from the sticks. You've gotta make your own. It's super easy, much cheaper and healthier. Have fun on the sprint.
ReplyDeleteJust the pics of those spaghetti-Os gives me heartburn!
ReplyDeleteUhm. Eww.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, reminds me of being eight and not worrying about things like cholesterol and carbohydrate reserves.
