Month Without Fast Food: Redeux (I don't speak French)

I guess I should revisit this.

June is starting out in less than two days. I tried last week and failed two days ago. That Monster Burger from Carls Jr. was amazing, I must say.

So, tonight after eating my George Foreman cooked porkchops I think to myself how hard it's going to be not to enjoy a nice juicy burger or chicken sandwich while I'm out and about.

I've done stints where I haven't purchased fast food for weeks at a time. More money issue than anything else. So I ended up saving by eating at home or just waiting until I got home to eat.

Unfortunately, I saw my body weight go up from those instances because of the starvation mode activation. I drowned myself in water to keep my hunger down while in college. It worked somewhat, but wasn't really the same. Eventually I would break down and eat some fast food.

But I'm doing this more for my health than money at the current moment. I know spending $1 on a burger seems cheap. But that $1 would get me a bag of rice with spices and whatnot. Much more filling and healthy than a burger.

I find myself snacking on these as well. High in protein and they taste amazing! Low in fat and sugar. I could eat a whole can if I didn't watch myself. You should try them if you don't have peanut alergies.

With that being said, On June 1st, 2011; I will hold myself steadfast in that I will not be purchasing any more fast food until July 1st.

Take note of that sentence. Yeah. You got that right. I left a loophole. If someone else buys me fast food, I'll totally eat. And I'll also do a review.

I intended on doing a review of that Monster Burger incarnation (Really a Double Six Dollar burger with Mayonnaise, Bacon and Cheese only). That thing was amazing. I must say.

I just wish it wasn't such a hassle to order the damn thing like they have it at Hardee's back home. And it's pretty expensive at $11. Well worth it though.

On top of all of that, I also want to review some civilian MRE's. Those are technically fast food since it's freeze dried and whatnot. But I don't consider them to violate my No-Fast-Food Month policy.

You guys should order these anyways. They're delicious and have an excellent shelf life.

:D

Well, that's all for now. Have fun!

Still sick; culprit known.

Bad Chinese food. Had leftovers the other night, and last night. I'm in pretty bad shape today. I had hoped I would get in one more test of the Dollar Menu Challenge before tomorrow, but that doesn't look like its going to happen.

With that being said: Do not eat at Golden Dragon 2(the sequel?) in Yelm, WA. Food poisoning sucks.

Investing in McDonalds?

I had always thought about putting money to McDonald's stocks. You'll see why when you take a look below:

Stocks go up. :D

Fast Food Games? Fast food Games.

Alright, every single individual I have probably met in my life, has a social networking homepage. My girlfriend, my neighbors, my brothers, my mom and even my dad has one.

I have to be really careful about what I type on my Facebook, or else I end up getting backlash from my loved ones. I know this from experience.

However, in today's entry, (and why it relates to Facebook), is a game called Diner Dash from Big Fish Games.

Diner Dash is a fast-paced, Fast Food type of game that puts you in the shoes of a server! Start out small, working tables and making orders to go. Serve them up and make your customers happy! Your business will grow the happier you become!

This game is akin to Farmville, in the fact that it's simple graphics and low-learning curve gameplay make it extremely addicting.

Please! Download the game! I implore you! It's amazingly fun.

And the character you play as is getting added to my Cartoon Crush list! Yes, I'm a total nerd!

They have a free trial on there as well for an hour of full gameplay. So if you like the game, and you want more, you can download it!

There are sequels to the game as well, adding different elements to the gameplay and showcasing Big Fish Games amazing style!

Click on the pics to go to their game page! Seriously guys! Play it! It's amazing!

Failure: Succumbing to Temptation

"Addict!" My girlfriend teases me, as I sink my teeth into a juicy burger from Carl's Jr. Two days, and I failed.
Maybe in part because I am addicted to the flavorful sustinence that is, fast food.
Maybe its my hypoglycemia.
Perhaps it was the emergency vet run I had to make when my dog stopped breathing and nearly suffocated to death. Stress makes me hungry and seek comfort. Fast Food is an easy way to get my comfort. The charred and cheesy goodness of a Six Dollar burger was appealing. But seeing as how I didn't intend on starting until June... maybe this wasn't a failure after all.

Day 2: No Fast Food

Auuugggggghhhhh!!!! I swear one of those burgers I ate the other day was undercooked or something. My stomach is still killing me!

I took some Imodium just in case. Hopefully that solidifies me and eliminates any incontinence.

On a brighter note; Today is supposed to be filled with Thunder Storms and pouring rain! I won't be able to go outside and work out!

weather.com for 98597
Cloudy with showers. Thunder possible. High 56F. Winds SW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 50%.

How is that supposed to be bright, you ask? Well, I'm dusting off my old hard drive that has my P90X videos. I was thinking about some good old fashion muscle confusion training today. I mean, P90X worked out great for me for 90 days. But nothing could melt off 100+lbs that I needed to lose. But P90X did work. Take a look at my 30-day GIF. It's kinda gross, sorry. THIS WAS FROM OVER A YEAR AGO. Click to view the Animation.

Yeah. But I lost even more since then. See my other entry A new project! for my current body state.

Weighed myself today. 240 even. I've been downing a ton of water the past few days, in lieu of my obvious dehydration from being sick.

In other news, got my 100th follower. I have no idea what to do for them. I said it would be something special. I'll make a video or something! But after I get done being sick of course. I'm in no state to be in front of a camera at the moment.

Ate well this morning. Had fruits, a bagel with some low fat, low calorie creme cheese, and some lean sausage. Mmm. I'm surprisingly full. Took my multivitamins and drank a protein shake on top of it. All of that came out to be just under 800 Calories. I'll snack throughout the rest of the day on celery and carrots. Maybe some broccoli.

Chef Salad for dinner tonight. Of course, tons of water throughout the day.

No biking or anything today. Wish I had the time. Maybe I'll put on a rain jacket and run around the house.

-------------------

Now that that is out of the way; I'll be adding another writer to my blog! My girlfriend Rizzo will be a new addition. Check out her blog at The Rampant Reader !

We will be writing side-by-side. I eventually will add yet another person to my blog, when they're ready to write. I won't quite reveal them yet, but they eat more fast food than I do, and yet look like a twig! Damn them and their fast metabolism!

Anyways, I have a cat in heat that won't quit bothering me, so I'll have to end this entry and go shove her in the kennel. Hormonal cat... Meh.
