The rains started early…

And by the time noon rolled around (my scheduled departure time), it was still raining…

Oh well, good thing my son was still with me because now we could play the “monster” game some more.

As the time started getting closer to 6 pm, and it was still raining, I started to worry. There was no way now I was going to make it up to Daytona Beach before dark on my motorcycle. Thanks goodness for my bright yellow riding suit with lots of reflective patches and the new tires I had gotten the week before. Wait… the guy at the motorcycle shop said I had to be careful on the tires for the first 100 miles because they could slip easily. And it was still raining… hmmm…

7:40 pm was the time I finally left… yea, almost dark. I did a longer trip a couple of months ago (4+ hours) but still, the thought of the night ride was a little daunting (especially with the rain and new “slick” tires).

Off I went, 3 pit stops later, I arrived in Daytona Beach at 11:40 pm. After giving the “all-safe” sign to my loved ones back home that I arrived safe, I proceeded to turn on my computer. 4 hours later I went to bed. And 3 hours later I was up for breakfast before my meeting at 9 am.

At breakfast the first dilemma of the day arrived… the MENU… What to eat that was healthy. Today was not my “free-for-all” day and the menu left just a bit to be desired for a healthy meal. This menu had almost no veggies on it, and only bad carbs (hash browns – about the worst carbs you can put into your body because of the high fat content – bad fat at that – and high carbs – a combination almost guaranteed to pack on the pounds quicker than you can imagine).

What would you do?
