Hello my poor neglected blog, my sweet examined ass. Yes, I know how long it's been. Time flies when you're not blogging. And I know you've missed me and probably stayed up for many nights crying into your virtual pillow about me. It's not that I don't love you, bloggie dearest, it's that... well, I've been cheating on you with my other activities, such as, ya know, REAL LIFE.
But thankfully, I can recall a good amount of what I've eaten for the last 2 weeks!

Point of clarification
I was asked to clarify, by a loyal reader, what exactly a Big N Tasty is, since I "seem to be so fond of them."
A Big N Tasty is a large (hence the name) McDonald's hamburger, with, of course, a beef patty, and also lots of onions and some mayo. Here is the nutritional information, from the McDonald's website:
8.2 ounces (compare that to the Whopper's 10 ounces!), 470 calories, 23 grams fat, 3 grams fiber, 41 grams carbs.
You're welcome.

Big and Nasty
Today I was basically yanked out of bed by several repeated phone calls from an unnamed friend imploring me to drive her to shady parts of town to drop off her crap because she's moving. I love my friend and all but ... driving for 2 hours is NOT conducive to good eating/ass-shaking. Therefore...
Lunch: Big and Tasty at McDonalds, French Fries, Diet Coke.
Later, I went to dinner at Georgia Brown's and got:
A sweet biscuit thing with butter
Fried Chicken
Mashed Potatoes
A few tiny bits of crab in Gazpacho soup (I did not finish the soup, for it was too spicy)
Ice Tea
An alcoholic lemonade thingy which tasted amazing (I recommend this restaurant, ladies and gentlemen. Very attentive service. Although, since I don't get to get out to classy restaurants that often, maybe "good service" for me just means "doesn't spit on me.")
Later, at moving-friend's apartment:
1 glass of champagne

Tuesdays are sexy, like a stallion
The Tuesday shit list:
Starbucks skim grande mocha, croissant
2 Diet Cokes
Doritos
Chocolate marble pound cake
Chicken lo mein
Ritter sport milk chocolate
*******
And now, a special segment -- today's Featured Piece of Crap:
Today I would like to introduce to you "Rip It Chic" -- the energy drink for women. Some shady unnamed characters brought it into the office Tuesday night and you know how I am with bad decisions.
Let me give you a little bit of well-researched background on "Rip It Chic." The drink, which is the color of internal organs and comes in a long can, was "designed for women by a female chemist," according to its website. "Its specially designed can is just the right size and the foil cover helps prevent dust, germs and bacteria from reaching the can's lid!" A female chemist??? Dude, that's how I know I'm in good hands. Because we all know that female chemists are specially hired to make pink, estrogen-friendly energy drinks.
Anyway, I'm tired of talking about this, because I only had a sip of it before I almost threw up all over the floor. Suffice it to say, if hormones had a taste, that's what they would taste like. It tastes like freakin' progesterone and I'm pretty sure I've never tasted that. It... just... does.
On a scale of 1 to 5 ass-shakes, 5 being super-crazy-awesome, this rates a 1/2. Not even a real ass-shake.

Dear Blog,
Today I am throwing my friend a bachelorette party so I apologize in advance for drinking way too much (thus, further killing myself) and/or posting drunk and thus being incoherent/revealing all of my horrible secrets.

Breakfast:
Grande mocha, Starbucks
Plain croissant, Starbucks
Lunch:
Mac Market sandwich (white bread, lettuce, onion, honey mustard) (I should have a key on my computer that types all of that at once)

So then I went to Starbucks and had a little piece of chocolate marble pound cake and a small non-sweetened black ice tea. Then I went home and cooked myself an organic burger patty and ate a burger and drank Diet Pepsi (with a tiny bit of Hennessy, I AM NOT A LUSH, I just really like the taste so I add a drop).
Then I went to that gym-place I haven't been to in several days and did 35 minutes on the elliptical.
Now I'm eating a pear and drinking apple juice.

Oh but now I really need to go eat some real food because I'm starving. I just caught myself going to the Melting Pot website just so I can DROOL over everything. And I should go to the gym at some point too.

Oh but now I really need to go eat some real food because I'm starving. I just caught myself going to the Melting Pot website just so I can DROOL over everything. And I should go to the gym at some point too.

At home, until the wee hours of the morning: An ungodly amount of Diet Coke...it's deadline time, biatches.

I'm so boring
You see, I live within 2 seconds of all these wonderful places ... coffee shops, gym, etc... but this just means I spend way too much time and money at the same places. Like today, I went to Jolt n Bolt AGAIN and got....
Mango smoothie
Plain bagel with creamcheese
Then I went to the gym, where, for part of the time, I ACTUALLY watched DC council hearings instead of the 70 other channels available. (Mary Ch3h is so awesome!) At the gym, I did...
30 mins elliptical
15 mins treadmill

Hey bitches
Just got back from McFaddens, had some chicken wings w/ Teriyaki sauce and maybe 3 Jack n Cokes....hmmm Jack n Cokes. (Yes, I'm a drunkie).
Now headed to Mr. Gym.

My diet does NOT bring healthy back
Wednesday dinner:
Home-cooked burger on a white bun, with marinara sauce.
I gulped it down with some (regular) Coke/Pepsi, mixed with a tiny bit of Henessy. (OK, here's the story on this wild concoction: On Saturday night, I filled a water bottle with Henessy+ Coke, I drank most of it but I still had a bit left, and I didn't want to waste it, so I just added Pepsi to it to drink w/ dinner.)
Then I had a snack of 1 piece white bread and 9 pepperoni slices.
This morning...
Breakfast: B-A-N-A-N-A
Later: Grande skim Mocha (damn those people at Starbucks for always giving me grande when I ask for tall!! Even if they are just being nice...)
Lunch: Pad See Ew with chicken (from Bambu), can of Diet Coke

I love me some Booeymonger's
Today this enterprising reporter was out and about covering a press conference. This required a little morning jolt, to get my reporting wheelies rolling. This morning I had:
A lovely, Healthy breakfast of: Tiny (8 ounce) Pepsi can, and 9 pepperoni slices on slice of white bread
After the press conference, I decided there's nothing better than sitting outside of Booeymonger's on a warm day, watching the passersby and reading and crap like that. At BOOYAH!monger, I had a:
Grilled chicken sandwich on toasted wheat bread, with honey mustard, onions and romaine lettuce. I also had 2 bottles of Kiwi-Strawberry Snapple. It was so refreshingly delicious I had to have a second one.
EXERCISE:
25 minutes bike thing/spinning
10 minutes elliptical
11 sit-ups
And I decided not to go to the abs class at the gym because it was full of muscled gay men. I'm lame.
134.5 lbs.

Ass-tasting Chinese
So let me continue the tale of what I ate last night. Since it was a Tuesday night, I was at the paper until 2 a.m. Every Tuesday is also Horrible Ass-tasting Chinese Food Night and we all have to eat it because that's the only dinner the paper will pay for. At least it's food. So I had...
A Diet Coke and some Chicken Lo-Mein (almost the whole portion)
Oh, and before that I had about half a Diet Coke at the meeting I was covering.

Extra! Extra! ALL DEADLINES AND NO FREE TIME MAKE GIRL EAT CRAP!
Well, the morning started alright with a tasty banana. (This shit is BANANAS. B-A-N-A-N-A-S!)
But then, as I proceeded to lock my keys in my car, having to call AAA, and being waaaay to behind schedule with my work, my diet descended into the millionth circle of hell.
And so it was:
A Starbucks grande mocha (skim)
3 Starbucks Madeleine cookies (also known as fat bombs)
And now... a bag of Fritos.
Wake me up when I'm skinny.

Because I'm hungry as a duck
White bread with pepperoni sandwich. 2 slices of white bread, 18 slices of pepperoni.
Coffee coffee buzz buzz buzz
So because it's "crazy deadline night" at the paper, I had to drink some coffee to whip myself into writing shape. So I drank a medium skim-milk mocha from Jolt and Bolt. No whip.
EXERCISE:
At midnight I went to Results Da Gym for a quick 15 minutes of elliptical (which I do forward and backward, to tone my ass-ets, which already feel tighter) and it was glorious.
From now on, I will record my weight, a la Bridget Jones. Weight: 135.4. Sigh.

And then there was Pad See Ew
Pad See Ew with chicken (and a little of that delicious egg) from Bambu, baby. (The Asian food choice of Karl Rove! Wowie zowie.)
And a bottle of Arizona Green Ice Tea.

A little caffeine never hurt anyone, right?
This just in: This morning, I had an 8-ounce can of Pepsi. One of those little tiny baby cute ones. Hey, at least it's not a whole Starbucks, right? I'm getting better...
