Here I'm again with this big question. To cook or not to cook – however you want to put it. I really like cooking and chefing, but as if I don't have the energy to do it properly – it might just be better off ordering something delivered to my door. As said I like to cook, I really do and lately I've been even more into cooking than earlier. The thing is, that more or less home made sauces always beat Barillas or whatever. Although I sometime use Barillas or whatever, they just don't taste as good as home made. If I screw totally up with the spices I may turn to some quick options, but for my luck – I prefer spicy tastes, so it just isn't that big deal whether there is bit too much of pepper or even cayenne pepper. Spicier foods even enhance metabolism in body and they're even used in weight loss products, so what's not to like?
Another thing, if I put the fact of better taste aside, is that as I do everything myself, I know exactly what's in there. Alright, I don't grow my potatoes or broccolis on my yard, but still. And as I know exactly what's in it I can eat more, because of the more suitable ingredient content. That I really prefer! In cycling maintaining high power to weight ratio is essential, for that the keys are maintaining weight, training hard and eating correctly. To be able train a lot – one needs energy a lot, but the answers for eating a lot,energy and maintaining weight lays within the ingredients. At times it is too complicated for me, and I ask for a big double whopper mac or whatever.
To answer the header. Now I'm unsure if I have the energy to prepare food properly or prepare at all, so I'm just about to pick my phone up and make call. After that call it would take some odd 20 minutes and I would have a warm meal on my door. Whether I'll make that call today, I dunno. And where should I call? Chinese, Indian, pizza, fish n' chips or burger place? Lets be honest, the latter three are ruled out anyway, and I think you know why. Chinese or Indian, or maybe I just rest for a while and then prepare my own food? Or maybe I don't rest at all and do some yoga? No yoga for me, definetly.
Well, behind this non ending chitchat is another good week of training and tiredness due to that. It has all gone according to plan, and that makes me happy. First, there is a plan and a system to follow. Secondly, it seems to be working. Tomorrow I have another gym session and then the week is over and on Monday a new one starts all over again – riding my bike, going to gym, resting and wondering what to eat. There is plenty more than that, but still to say – that is pretty much what I do in addition to uni work. At the end, I think, it is worth mention how amazing does Coke taste in glass bottle!

P.S. Apparently resting and streching helped. Time to be a chef.
