Let's play ketchup

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!

(This is where my recollection gets hazy because I didn't write it down. I'm going to skip ahead to today because I'm too lazy to remember all this. I do know, however, that I went to the gym on the elliptical 3 times since then, twice for 20 minutes and once for 40.)

Ahem, also. Weight: 131

A couple of pretzel sticks dipped in a chocolate fountain
2 small pieces of watermelon

TGIFridays food:

1 piece Oreo and Chocolate cake

A whole bunch of cherries

"Knocked up" is hilarious; go see it

Lunch: Booeymonger's chicken sandwich w/ onion and honey mustard
Bottle of strawberry/kiwi juice

Starbucks unsweetened black ice tea

Dinner (I snuck this into "Knocked Up"): Hamburger and fries

Later: 1 Sam Adams Light (Full disclosure: I drank it while taking a bubble bath with scented candles and reading Rolling Stone)

Exercise: 45 minutes elliptical (I would like to thank the entire cast of the Real Housewives of Orange County for letting me stay on the exercise machine for that long. The Saturday marathon on Bravo was heavenly.)

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.

This speaks for itself

Breakfast:
Bottled mocha-flavored Starbucks frapuccino, croissant

Lunch:
Pad see eu with chicken, Diet Coke

Friday evening:
A glass of pinot grigio
1 banana
A couple of pieces of fried plantain
A few chips and salsa
Hennessy and Coke, pina colada mix (no rum), white wine, more white wine, some Corona, a Jack and Coke (I didn't get sick -- or very drunk, somehow -- maybe it's because I was dancing my booty off)
Big and Tasty and French Fries at McDonald's

Hail Whole Foods

Breakfast: Starbucks, skim mocha (I go there so friggin often they gave me a free drink coupon today)

Snack: Diet Coke and small bag of regular Utz chips. (It was free)

My glorious lunch at Whole Foods I would like to recreate every day:
2 small pieces Cuban pork (yummy spices)
1 delicious chicken fajita
2 small scoops of rice, white and fried
Lettuce, a bunch of carrots, 3 cherry tomatoes
Odwalla mango tango thingy

Dinner, kind of: Mango smoothie and bagel with cream cheese

Exercise: 1 hour yoga and 10 sit-ups

*****

And now for a shout-out:
I would like to recognize those individuals who encourage me to eat salad. You know who you are.

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
