Live and Let Diet

[Buzz Killington]

I am trying to give up on some of those places you mention but if I am in Bham......... I am stopping at Milos.

FYI...their grilled chicken sammich is the awesome.

Yeah.......If I go to Milos, it's a #4 with sweet tea.

I hurt all over

[Kaos]

My weakness is Jacks.  It's a sentimental thing to me. When I was a kid living in Anniston there was no McDonald's or BK.  There was Irbys, Goal Post, KFC and Jacks.

Jacks was the Cousin Cliff Show and hot apple pies.  My grandma took me there and I always got two regular burgers, fries, a pie and a vanilla shake. Dipped my fries in the shake.

Was on the Cousin Cliff show twice for birthday parties. 

Then they started doing fried chicken. And it was good. 

And biscuits. 


I love Jacks. 

Glad there are no franchises south of Montgomery or north of Huntsville.

Hear! Hear! I love Jack's. Only place they had it was in Clanton when I visited family. Now when I drive to the hunting club there is one on the way. I start drooling miles away knowing that I get to stop in. I guess it is just different. They have a good breakfast also. But if you go to breakfast, be prepared for the bingo crowd.  Usually they have great folks working there.

My great Aunt died several years ago in Clanton. Her daily thing was Jack's. That is where all of her friends met each morning. They all sat in the same seats and just enjoyed the twilight years. When she pass away form cancer at around age 80, the Jack's workers showed up with her chair and sat it beside the casket. Sounds corny, but in today's rat race, it was nice to see.

Jacks is legit for sure.  I like it and whatever they sprinkle on those fries.....wow.   My weakness around here at work is Mei Wei Asian Bistro, Papa Gyro's, Jersey Mikes, Lenny's, Sun Cafe, Little Tony's, Schnitzel Ranch and Tenders.  We hit those places up a good bit.  We don't do fast food.  If we want or need something fast we do Subway.  Even at home we don't do the fast food thing much.  It cost the wife, mini-me, and myself $18 the last time we went to BK.  We can go to local Mexican place, sit down, chill out and it cost us $25 for the 3.  No brainer.

$25 to sit in a little Mexican place, quiet for the most part, no kids fighting over kids meal toys >>>>>> $18 in a nasty restaurant dining area with other kids running around.

I hurt all over

Speaking of........This has been a good week.  I have managed to do some sort of cardio everyday this week but one.  I will make up for that by getting up and out tomorrow.  I am sore as hell right now though.   Now, if I can just lay off the beer and the burrrbinz, then I am going to make it.   

[Snaggletiger]

Fershur.  Picked up a bottle of the Jefferson's last night.  The bottle I bought for the 4th bit the dust Wednesday night. 

Bottom line is I'm going to stay on this program for about 2 more weeks then I'm on to something else. Love the results but damn, this is too much work and I'm actually tired of eating.  Did I mention I hurt all over?

For the record, it's a type of popcorn seasoning.  I know a guy who owns a franchise.

Either way, I've lost what I gained on vacation, and am making progress again.  Was able to run 2 miles on the treadmill last night at 6.7 mph without stopping.  I could hardly move after, but damn it felt good being able to run that far without a walking break.

[GH2001]

Taking the first step. 

Tired of being tired. 

As of last week I've banned myself from the following establishments forever (I hope). 

McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, Arby's, Hardees, Zaxby's, Guthries, DQ, Milos, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Sonic, all chinese buffets. 

I left KFC on the approved list but ONLY for grilled chicken with corn and green beans. 

Also left Chick Fil A on the approved list but ONLY for grilled chicken sandwich (no waffle fries) or chicken salad. 

Had been working out and doing pretty well but I spent some time in the hospital and then another six or eight weeks trying to recover and it completely ruined me.  Completely.  All I was able to do was sleep and eat.  Damn.

No wonder you felt bad.

Although I will add something about Chick Fil A: even their fried stuff is ok. They use peanut oil which is much healthier than lard/shortening or vegetable oil that most things are fried in. Its not quite as healthy as olive oil, but overall its still very good. So eat that fried sandwich at CFA if you wish, it's not gonna make or break anything the way they cook it.

I just ate a protein bar.  Mmmm.... protein bar

When it comes to food I am solid.  I can eat what I am supposed to and I don't deviate from that too much.  For the most part I can do some sort of workout and keep with it. It's the beer and booze that get me.  I am at 214 right now.  I need to get back to 200 minimum.  I can do this, I know I can, anything after that is icing on the cake.

Most people lose weight during the summer time, they are out and more active, I am right the opposite.  I drink more during the summer and tend to do less b/c of the heat.  In the winter is when I tend to lose more of my weight. 

You hurt b/c you are old.

Find out what type and tell us.  I need to keep it in stock at the house.  It is great.

Good job on the running.  I went a whole whopping 7 minutes last night before I decided that I wanted to die.  My legs cramped, I started coughing (damn you cigars) and then I felt like shit for an hour.  After that I felt good.  I don't know how far I went, didn't care, I just want to get to that point where I can jog for 15 to 20 minutes without stopping.  Last night after I was done I kept telling myself "fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life".  I almost convinced myself.

That's gonna leave a mark.

Tomorrow is my 5k then it's off to Ft. Stewart for a week.  No problems with running while at Stewart but I follow that up with a vacation at teh beach.
