Fasting Before Screening Starts In The Morning, I Guess

I have my workplace health screening in about ten days.  To make sure I meet enough of the metrics that will get me a price break on my health insurance, I thought I would get healthier in the lead-up.  I thought I would ease up on my pop, eat less and work out a little more.

Well, last/Sunday night, after the MNUFC Loss (oof, BTW), I was going to go to the Culver's across the street from Allianz Field, buy and eat a Deluxe Burger there, maybe get either a salad or a mashed potatoes and gravy and drive to BlackStack Brewing to eat that and chase it with a beer.  But then I remembered that STEPCHLD, a place I've eaten twice before, was going to close in a couple weeks.  I thought that I would make an evening out of it, but I figured that I could go to BlackStack Saturday inbetween the Lynx and United FC Games, and maybe I should go to STEPCHLD instead.

It closes at 9 on Sundays and the Match got out at 7, but I made it there with enough time to eat wings ... and then a burger and fries.  I ate the wings the first time I was there and the burger and fries the second time, and both were fantastic.  And I don't know if I will get another chance to eat at STEPCHLD again.  So even though the bowl of wings was more than enough, just in case, I got the burger and fries, too.  It was getting sketchy there at the end, but I ate the burger and fries with little difficulty.  And oh, after I downed my glass of orange wine I ordered alongside the wings, I bought a Mexican Coke to go alongside the burger and fries.

Good thing my screening isn't tomorrow.  And again, I had to do it in order to honor a place that had really good food.  But my plan on getting into shape will have to wait until morning at least.  Whoops.
