Subway

Friday night involved too many margaritas… you don’t need to know the details but Saturday morning was rough.  Tom got home from the gym around 11 am and we went back to bed for a loooong nap.  We woke up around 1:30 and both of us were starving.  There was next to nothing in our fridge.  We had deli meat for sandwiches but no bread.  And since bread involves 3 hours in the bread maker that was out.  I also needed Gatorade.  Badly.  So we decided to go to subway for sandwiches and Gatorade.  I know, Subway is not unprocessed, but we figured it was the closest we would get with fast food.  Did I mention that I was starving at the time?

I thought the smarter choice would be to get turkey on wheat instead of the chipotle chicken and cheese I wanted.  By the time the guy behind the counter asked me what I wanted though, I went with the chicken and cheese.  Tom got a oven roasted chicken breast sandwich.  As we drove home we were discussing how the chicken was probably heavily processed and how gross that was.

Side note: I’m currently reading “The New Rules of Lifting for Women.”  The author has a diet plan in the book and one section is on food on the go.  The subway oven roasted chicken is one of the things he recommends if you have to get fast food.  Guess its not as bad as Tom and I thought.

Anyway… Subway did not have Gatorade but did have Vitamin water.  I got one.  When we got home I was reading the label.  IT’S SWEETENED WITH STEVIA!!!  What???  I was amazed.  Stevia is what we’ve been using a sugar substitute because its natural.  Awesome.  Obviously vitamin water has lots of other stuff in it, but I feel good about it was an option when I need a sports drink.
