A Surprise Return!

2011-04-17T22:48:00.000-07:00

Hello! I still exist. I make slightly fewer terrible life decisions now that I'm no longer 22/23. Gah, no wonder I was getting fat. Looking back at what I ate back then...well, I'm happy to still be alive, much less have fingers that aren't so engorged that I can't type.

Anyway, I also still eat, and recently I've been on a bit of a "let's lose weight to look cuter" mission. Since there's no way in hell I'll ever actually stick to a prescribed diet, the plan has basically been not to be a douchebag and stuff myself with Fritos every day. After a couple of months of this, I've been feeling better, but I'm far from perfect at it. Let's start with what I ate today...

Sunday, April 17, 2011

Breakfast:
Grande skim cinnamon dolce latte, no whip (as you can see, I'm still a sad, pathetic Starbucks addict)
3 Madeleine cookies ("fat bombs")
Box of apple juice

Lunch:
Small cup of chicken/tomato/pepper yummy soup from Brooklyn Bagel
Bagel with butter
Mango Snapple

Dinner:
Bowl of chicken-flavored Ramen + 1 Thin 'n' Trim Chipotle & Peach Salsa sausage link (delicious...)

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.

Point of clarification

2007-06-02T12:49:00.000-07:00

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

2007-06-02T10:58:00.000-07:00

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

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

*****

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

2007-06-01T11:05:00.000-07:00

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

2007-05-29T19:56:00.000-07:00

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.

2007-05-11T13:00:00.000-07:00

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. Got it? I hope we're understood. On with the daily food-intake-recording bonanza!

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)
Diet Coke

This day went to hell in a handbasket pretty quickly...

Breakfast: Jolt n Bolt mocha
Sesame seed bagel with cream cheese

McDonalds grilled chicken sandwich

Glass of cranberry juice

Exercise: 10 sit-ups

Wednesday, continued...

2007-05-09T22:34:00.000-07:00

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.

This doesn't count!

2007-05-09T15:08:00.000-07:00

Deadline day doesn't count so don't judge me. I barely had time to stand up, much less worry about eating. Here's the rundown of crazy bad shit I ate Tuesday.

Diet Pepsi
Diet Pepsi
Diet Pepsi
Diet Pepsi
Diet Pepsi
Some of that chicken pizza I got "to go" from Open City
Chicken lo mein
ummm...Diet Coke
Most of a Ritter Sport milk chocolate bar
My dignity

And today I was on what Kendra from the Girls Next Door called a "sleep diet," sleeping til forever b/c I was so exhausted from the night before I didn't have time to eat. So all I had today was half of a Hennessy and Coke. Because it was THERE, ok?

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.

By eating lunch for "breakfast," I avoided Starbucks today! Clever or pathetic?

2007-05-07T22:30:00.000-07:00

Breakfast/lunch (noon):
Mac Market white bread, grilled chicken, lettuce, onion, honey mustard (the usual...the sandwich guy knows it by heart)

Plain bagel w/ creamcheese
Large skim mocha

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

The question isn't what I ate. It's what DIDN'T I eat....

2007-05-06T20:52:00.000-07:00

Oy veh. This blog is supposed to be all about the betterment of me. And yet, through reading over all the posts, I can see that I'm not getting better, I'm descending into a mad eating frenzy.....

This morning:
Small skim mocha

I'm so boring

2007-05-03T21:25:00.000-07:00

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

2007-05-03T19:00:00.000-07:00

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

2007-05-03T13:52:00.000-07:00

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

2007-05-02T17:00:00.000-07:00

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

2007-05-02T16:54:00.000-07:00

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!

2007-05-01T12:10:00.000-07:00

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

2007-04-30T22:49:00.001-07:00

White bread with pepperoni sandwich. 2 slices of white bread, 18 slices of pepperoni.

Coffee coffee buzz buzz buzz

2007-04-30T21:31:00.000-07:00

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

2007-04-30T13:14:00.000-07:00

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?

2007-04-30T08:49:00.000-07:00

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...
