Happy New Year!!!
Wow… If it wasn’t already pretty obvious, I suck at this whole “Keep things updated daily” thing. I’m starting things off with some boring stuff; Firstly, Its new year’s so another year of making promises to myself that I probably won’t keep, but do to make myself feel cool for a week or so before plummeting further into the abyss of “I suck”.
I have written a couple of articles for Associated Content, one of them being about the 13 worst fast foods I could find. Aside from the list being like George Carlin’s “7 things you can’t say on television” (that being that there are many more than the ones covered in the list, and like Carlin’s, it will be expanded in a sequal), it prompted a friend over at Horror.com (check the book linked on the right for him) to challenge me to suggest ways of eating fast food without completely ruining your healthy diet.
I am doing one better. I am following a diet laid out by my wife that worked wonders for her last year. She did 30 grams of fat or less a day and 1800 calories or less a day. Taking in to account that I am bigger in general and have no will power, we’ve settled on 40 grams of fat and 2000 calories for me. I will be using this blog to not only regale you with useless trivia about crap I find interesting, but to track my fat and calorie intake day by day, as well as note whenever I eat fast food or have a beer, because they are both responsible for working together to make sure i use the outer holes in my belt.
So far today, I have had a tall red eye with cream and sugar from Starbucks (Coffee with an espresso shot if you aren’t familiar with the term), which from what I can tell is about 130 calories and 6 grams of fat. of course, their website only provides information about black coffee, which is damn near useless. Black coffee is basically brown water, no shit it isn’t bad for you.
