Soon To Be Skinny Sooner

I spent quite a bit of time on the road last week, driving from town to town. It was quite a challenge finding places three or more times a day to eat healthy food. I did discover, however, that the nice truck stops, like Love’s , Travel Centers of America and Flying J do offer a pretty wide selection of fruits, vegetables and other healthy snacks (along with a wide array of complete crap). They’re ubiquitous along interstates, and usually have pretty clean restrooms to boot. Check them out if you have a chance.

Also, Buffalo Wild Wings is another of the growing list of chain restaurants that now provides nutritional information about its selections, although for now, they only give it out by request via e-mail. Thanks to them, at any rate, for providing this information.

…this blog, which is written by Molly Erdman, she of Sonic commercial fame.

She talks about the FullBar, which claims to simulate the effects of gastric bypass surgery. According to FullBar’s folks, you simply eat the bar with a big glass of water, wait 30 minutes, and you won’t be hungry.

Molly answers this with a really good point. This “trick,” for lack of a better word, will work with just about any small, healthy snack and a big glass of water. Try that before you get to go out to dinner, or before a big social gathering. You’ll be less inclined to overeat.

…sorry. Things happen, I guess. It’s weird. I’m not doing anything out of the ordinary, but, in the last week, it just seems like the day has gotten away from me. I’ll try to do better about the blog, I promise.

We’ve got a new president, so good luck and God speed, Mr. President-elect. You’ve got some work ahead of you.

As to my journey, it’s been moving right along. After a week of maintaining my weight after a trip to Vermont, I’m down another five pounds, with hopefully even more gone tomorrow. A couple of people stopped me at the gym and mentioned that they’ve noticed the improvement. Since these folks get to see me in all of my glory, or lack thereof, in the locker room, I’ll take that as an pretty good compliment.

…not me, but the Dillard’s at Crossroads Mall in OKC. I bought a ton of stuff a size too small, as motivation, and as a cheap way to replenish my dwindling wardrobe.
I’ve also got a weigh-in tomorrow, which I hope goes well.

I’ll be more wordy tomorrow, I hope. I’ve been working on this for a while this week.
