About a week ago, I received a coupon book to one of the greatest grease cholesterol clogging fast food restaurants in America. Although, I'm not sure using the word "restaurant" is the right word. It just doesn't seem to fit when you consider Ruth Chris is a restaurant as well.
Mcdonald's my daughters favorite place. She loves the fries as do I. I'm still pissed at Spurlock for his awesome movie Supersize Me affect on McDonalds. No more super-sized fries!! Of course allows me to get salads when Elena gets a treat to a chicken mcnugget happy meal. All for love of training and staying healthy....well that's out the window this morning. I've been beating my brains out this week in workouts and decided why not use one of the many coupons for a 99 cent saugsage mcmuffin.
One problem is that there are absolutely no McDonalds with a drive-thru anywhere near me or the gym. There's one in the mall but that doesn't count. The one by the gym really has no parking lot as it's by the Metro station. I parked in the handicap spot ala George Constanza on Seinfeld and ran into to get my grease breakfast sandwich. It took the staff forever to figure out how to enter the coupon all while they asked me what I wanted about 10 times. Good times. At least I didn't come out to have a mob of angry people surrounding my car in the handicap spot.
Overall, I've been real good about my diet. I haven't had a Dorito or any other garbage chip since August. I still eat popcorn which is about it for my junk food intake. This is major compared to before, I'm not drinking any caffeine either or drinking alcohol. I keep seeing those Jared 10 year anniversary Subway commercials. I think after the Ironman I'll be doing the exact opposite. I'll go from Ironman to 325 lb shut-in on a steady diet of Doritos, McDonalds, Pringles, Lays, Cheetos, beer, and Rockstar. On big training days, I easily put down over 4000 calories and that's without chips. I could easily top 6000 calories by including junk food. I can easily see a new max weight for me after the Ironman topping my 155 in the winter of 2007.
I'm lovin it...5 months 4 days

*** sigh *** COUPONS for 99 cent McNastys? they are on the dollar menu out here... so sad. Yet one more reason we must find more ways to keep those smurfing Californians and their price-raising habits out of our state. Bring on the rain, baby.
