don't forget the onion rings

Everyday for lunch I have pretty much the same thing: a small steak and a salad. It's the best lunch for me from a food combination and portion size perspective.

Lunch comes with two small onion rings. From a purest perspective, these detract from the nutritional value of the lunch, but from a flavour perspective (grease) they add way more value to lunch. It keeps lunch from getting tedious. The benefit outweighs the cost.

In any activity that requires self-discipline, an "onion ring" adds a bit of flavour without being overly destructive.

My personal trainer, knows to add one exercize in the middle of my otherwise very intense routine to break up it up and some fun and interest. It's not always the most constructive exercize but it gives me some added "flavour."

I also add an "onion ring" to my lunchtime cardio routine by taking a walk by the river; a short blast of pleasure in an otherwise rigourous routine.

Onion rings keep the balance and it keep me in the game without burning out.
