I have really been craving a hamburger and fries lately. I wanted some Red Robin so I started checking out their nutritional value. Yikes! That place has burgers that are like 1000 calories! This prompted me to just go through all of the fast food places and start checking out the healthier options. There aren't very many of them. I started with Carl's Jr. which is quite possibly my favorite fast food place. They definitely win for having the most options. They have carb friendly burgers that are wrapped in lettuce instead of bread, they have burger options with no cheese or mayo, and they also have a whole line of turkey burgers which are much healthier than beef. Chick-fil-a is next in line because they offer several different healthy options along with healthier sides. They have chicken salad sandwich, grilled chicken sandwich, chicken salad in a cup, chicken noodle soup, and fruit cups. Whataburger, McDonalds, Burger King, and Jack in the Box all offer like one healthier sandwich. Of course all of these places have several different salad options. However, none of these places offer sweet potato fries and their fries have as many calories as the burgers!!
That puts a whole new perspective on things, doesn't it? Oh and by the way...I have lost that and more! Ok...I am through with my ranting about fast food.
Moving on...today has been pretty uneventful. Thank goodness! I've been busy but not too crazy which is a nice switch! I got my first compliment today about my weight loss and I was so super excited. The girl didn't even know that I was on a diet and she told me that I looked like I was losing a lot of weight!! I was so excited I almost fell out of my chair! This prompted me to go on like an hour long rant about how great the products are and how great I feel. So now she is going to look into it and pass the info on to a few of her friends. Maybe I should become a distributor! If only I had time with this crazy job!
I've been trying to walk a lot while I am at work. I have been getting up and just walking around the office every hour or so to burn some calories. Every little bit helps. I think that I am going to get The Firm Express dvds next week. I have been trying to decide if I want to try them but the more I read about them the more I think they would be a great part of my exercise routine. Pretty much everything I do is outside and I want to have an inside option so that when it rains or the mosquitoes are out like crazy I will still be able to get in a good workout.
I've also decided to try the two new products that Visalus has available on November 1st. Go and Pro. I have been kind of wondering if I wanted to do it or not. They both have some caffeine in them and I really didn't want to use them because of that. I have worked so hard to not drink caffeine and I really don't want to get back into those bad habits. But they don't have a lot in them and they seem like they could really help me get the best out of my workouts so I am going to give them a try and see what I think. I'm excited because anything that is not unhealthy that will help me burn more calories is phenomenal!
Well I got home from work, went for a walk, cooked dinner, and then went for a 4 mile bike ride. I just finished showering and cleaning the kitchen. I had an amazing turkey cutlet for dinner with mixed veggies. I love turkey so much. I'm seriously probably going to turn into one! I really wish the mosquitoes weren't so freaking bad because I could ride some more. That's why I need the firm express! I could be doing that right now! It makes me want to take my butt to Target to get it! I might get it this weekend if I find time. I am going to the Ziegfest on Satirday and the Ren fest on Sunday! Yay! Lots of walking! If this week would ever get over with!
In other news I ordered the iPhone 4s today and I'm super excited to get it. I can use Siri to do all of my bidding!
Anyways, I guess I'm going to get ready to lay it down and watch An American Horror Story! Woo hoo!
