Popeye’s On A Diet
August 31, 2005 12:00 am [No Comments]
Had lunch with the old CRL posse today and as usual it was at Popeye’s. I’m trying to be good on my diet so here’s what I came up with for a meal. Not too darn bad for a fast food place.
3 Chicken Strip Meal w/ Naked Chicken Strips
3 Naked Chicken Strips 170 calories
Side Cajun Rice 180 calories
Buttermilk Biscuit 240 calories
Water
590 calories. Not bad at all. Next time I will probably get 6 strips and forget the biscuit. Those biscuits are the best on the planet, but obviously they aren’t too good for the ol diet.
TIME!

Oh God, it’s 2:48pm and you know what that means!
It’s lame techno lyrics that I’m currently listening to time!
Sometimes the sound of goodbye is louder than any drum beat!
Sometimes the sound of goodbye is louder than any drum beat!
Sometimes the sound of goodbye is louder than any drum beat!
Sometimes the sound of goodbye is louder than any drum beat!
Sometimes the sound of goodbye is louder than any drum beat!

My apologies to Jory.

Cheeseburger in Paradise was just okay. Lame environment, lame singer dude, pretty good food, really good key lime pie and entertaining waiter. Probably won’t go back.
This morning I bought $20 worth of gasoline and got about 6 gallons. That sucked.
And now I have to go to a meeting. And then I have to add the flags, comments and unscheduled visits to EDT. So there.
Oh yea, I still managed to lose 0.2 lbs.

I’m back to dieting. The last few weeks I’ve made a little effort and in the last two I’ve made a fairly serious effort. This week I have been doing really well and the weight is starting to slide off like in the olden days. This morning I was at 207.4.
The feeling of losing weight is a really good one. Mentally it’s nice to know it’s working but physically it actually feels good. Every morning after a day without cheating I can feel changes. Even if it’s just a few ounces I’ve lost over 24 hours I feel different, and better. That helps a lot with the times when it sucks, which is pretty much all day long.
Yesterday I had a Slim Fast for breakfast, a homemade turkey sandwich for lunch and a homemade turkey sandwich for dinner. That is it. Nothing else went into my mouth except for toothpaste and water all day long.
I generally count my sandwiches at about 500 calories. They are probably actually a little less. I use two slices of bread, 1 slice of cheese, fat free turkey and a little mustard. No mayo! Two of those and my Slim Fast puts me at 1180 calories for the day. Quite a bit less than a growing boy needs! That might explain why I woke up tired after going to bed at 9:30pm last night and sleeping till 7am.
I don’t have very far to go. I want to see a number on the scale that starts with a 1 and after that I’m done. Assuming I like the way I look, at least. I’d really like to get rid of my bitch tits, and the rest of my belly but I look around at guys my age and it seems pretty common. My sense of self is totally skewed though. A lot of times when I look at myself in the mirror I see a huge, fat person. I know I’m not far from “normal” now but depending on the day I still see myself last November.
So there’s that. I’m not sure if I’ll manage to lose weight today since Courtney and I are going to go to Cheeseburger in Paradise for dinner. That should be a fun test.
The Aristocrats is playing down in Westport somewhere. I can’t wait to see it. I’ve been wanting to since I heard about it back in the day. I even knew the joke already 
Decisions!

Oh shit. How the fuck am I supposed to choose between The Dresdon Dolls and Th’ Legendary Shackshakers on October 13th?
That’s just not even fair.
I’m leaning towards them Shackshakers. Dresdon Dolls put on a hell of a show, but in all honesty I wasn’t completely insane about their music. The Shackshakers were just so crazy and awesome I’d feel like a real ass if I missed seeing them again. Plus, there’s no telling when that guy is gonna fall over dead. No one can rock that much energy without having something explode eventually.
