Healthy Fast Food!

So, little did I know that El Pollo Loco actually has some pretty darn awesome healthy choices!! Check this out: Mango Taco Plate. Its super healthy (Clocks in at around 350 cal), tastes great ("Tastes Great, Less Filling!") and most importantly is fresh and I can grab it and go.

Its important for me to have some grab and go options out there, because lets face it - I'm a lazy mother fucker. Whole Foods Deli isle is my friend.

Carry on.

Twitter and various crap

I had a long post written. It was eloquent, and meaningfull......everything you want in a written piece of art. Unfortunatly my app died and I lost it. Bottom line : I now have a twitter. If you stumble across this or that feel free to follow, but im not knocking myself out about followers until my life evens out and im more on track. @metalberries berries......like boobs........some  fucker stole strawberrymetal. Anyways, go watch the new video for fucking Steel Panther, Burden Of Being Wonderful. They should leave us presents like that every morning, its better than the money I found on my dresser last time.

Diets and Ailments.

I have been starting to phase good food back into my diet slowly so as not to make my tummy hurt.

Turns out its harder than hell to eat what I'm supposed to eat and eat healthy! No whole grains, no raw veggies or fruits... what do you do?

This is today's lunch. The drink is Kefir water, and as long as I can suppress the scientist in me and  the mental images that it promotes I can drink it. Is it bad? No - its actually quite tasty, and comes in at 20 cal for the 16oz bottle! It has quite a few live and active cultures, which is great for you! (It just has a bunch of little wormy things swimming around if you look at it under a microscope!) Score health wise, though. Will have to get a couple at the beginning of the week to keep in the fridge at work! Low in sugar, and no fake sugar!

The sandiwchy thing is a Bolani. It has two per container, and each come in at around 280 cal. It is whole wheat, but I'm making that concession.

Seat covers & Salads

Last night I got these totally Glamtastic seat covers, matching floor mats, and steering wheel cover. I heart them. The only way they would be better is if they were Leopard print!

Also last night I was able to have a cucumber salad and sushi for the first time in 3 weeks! Everything settled OK, so I had a mini salad for lunch today. Its amazing how much you want something that you cant have. In this case, I have been craving a salad something fierce.

So, a couple salads, the start of a new semester (Abnormal Psychology and Introduction to Global Health for this section!), and once I can get through this weekend, hopefully starting back walking on Sunday or Monday.

Lets do this.

Sorry-lets try again?

So, I thought I had posted a declaration of taking a leave of absence - evidently I had neglected to do so.
Two things happened in regards to the lack of posts. #1 is that the eve of Thanksgiving my father was taken to the hospital by ambulance, and has been touch and go ever since. He is currently in a Veterans Rehabilitation Center, with hopes of returning home this Friday. My leave of absence was also from work for this timeframe.
Additionally, Christmas Eve I landed myself in the hospital with a raging pain due to Diverticulitis. The down side is that even though I was eating crappy, for the recovery period from this ailment I was told to eat EVEN MORE crappy. Essentially, nothing but mushy cooked veggies, white flour, and protein.  I was able to start phasing good food back into my diet this week (thank god!) you have no idea how much I want a salad!!!

I am pretty sure I gained back ALL of the weight that I had previously lost. The good news is that as things start getting back to normal for me, this blog will also start to get back to normal.

Heres to re-boot in 2014 :) Im not one for new years resolutions, I think they should be made at any time of the year. However, it happens to be the new year and things are slowly getting back to normal for me - so the timing just happens to be coincidental.

As a gift, here is a screen shot of the cover art from the forthcoming album that Steel Panther debuted today. Spread the disease, y'all.
