Over the weekend I went to Detroit, MI for a friend’s wedding. It was a morning wedding at a church and the bride’s dress looked like it was painted on (in a good way).
I didn’t get a chance to run over the weekend; I was too busy catching up with friends and family. My diet wasn’t the best either, but it was worth it. On the first day I had Lebanese food; Chicken Shawarama, Fattoush Salad, and Home Fries. The second day I ate at the wedding and for dinner I had something that killed my diet…Coney Island.
Coney Island is a Midwest diner/dive in Detroit that specialist in Coney Dogs, breakfast, and fried food.
What’s a Coney Dog? Imagine a steamed (never toasted) potato bread hot dog bun. In it is a grilled (never boiled) Michigan made hot dog with a natural casing so when you bite into it snaps (pops) in your mouth (shout out Koegel). On top of that is a layer of delicious bean-less chili with a little kick, a loose burger (ground beef), sweet onions and mustard.

All to die for….I had three of them. My mouth is watering thinking about them; needless to say I gain a couple of pounds when I was in Detroit.
Today was beautiful outside; I stretched and took my run to the road. I had my angry music on (Eminem) to keep me motivated/ disassociated. I was so in the zone I thought a dog was chasing me but it ended up being on a leash.
Today was the furthest I’ve ran so far, my endurance is getting better and there are periods where I ran for 5 minutes straight. This is something that I could never do before today, but I must say those five-minute intervals took forever to go by. Things are looking good and I’m on track to run my first 5k in about a month. I just need to get my nutrition in check.
To all readers out there how do keep your nutrition in check?
Until next time I’m 300 Pounds and Running!
