Sonic pulls at me.....



So I had my first challange in this whole avoiding Fast Food. We had a very busy day on Saturday and were not able to eat prior to our venture out to Little League game, followed by trip to Sonic. I did admit that I would go to Sonic as they do have some fantastic drinks, but we were starving.

So we go to the new one in Wilmington and get in line. I told Sandy that I was not getting any food, but would get a drink. Route 44 Lemon Berry Slush - Delish, which probably has about 1 million calories. Anyways, I made it without ordering and am still going strong. It was hard though. Harder than I thought. Fast food is so easy to get in a pinch.....

How did this whole thing start? I was working one day and forgot to make lunch, so I ventured out to the local Wendy's, which is one of my favorites. I pulled through as I do from time to time and made my order. When I finally got my food, I noticed that they screwed it up and gave me too much. So what did I do? Of course, I ate it. Way too much food and I felt horrible for most of the day after that. From that point I decided that I needed to make a change. I am also cataloging what I eat on dailyburn.com. My goal is to stay within 2100 calories a day.... My goal is to get to 185 again as I now am at 200 and rising......

In the spirit of heath....


I am going to start to avoid fast foods, but I want to qualify this for all who might be reading this.


For me, fast food would be something that could be prepared while in a drive through line, or something that can be prepared within 5 minutes of ordering. So that would mean the Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy's, Sonic, and other fast food places around the world.


Complicated? Potentially. I will admit that I will most likely venture to the Sonic for a beverage or two over the summer, but no food.


The countdown begins...
