Good blog, IMHO.
I've been traveling a lot by car lately, which means highway rest stops,
but so far, I'm doing pretty well in the avoiding-fast-food department.
My main purchase is coffee from Starbucks - a medium-sized cup of their
milder Pike blend, which I ask for in a large-sized cup, and to which I
add a lot of half-and-half. My general opinion of their coffee is that
it would make fine paint stripper.
I had one Burger King item - a cheeseburger, which cost me $1.38
including what tax Pennsylvania charges.
And I had one candy bar - a four-pack of Mounds. I remain convinced,
for myself at least, that if you're going to eat sweets, you ought to go
whole hog and have what you want. The clerk told me that they were one
for $2, or two for $2.50, so I bought _two_ four-packs of Mounds and
brought the other one home and had it a couple of days ago.
It was interesting to note that, for reasons I assume are primarily due
to salt, after being away from Friday afternoon to Monday night, when I
weighed myself Tuesday morning, I had gained 5 lbs. Today is Friday and
my weight is back to normal - I didn't do anything other than just eat
as I normally do at home, and the weight just went away at the rate of a
pound or two a day. Well, interesting to me, anyway. I sometimes have
ear problems - ringing, dizziness, etc. - and all that water retention
definitely makes it worse - today's the first day I feel normal again.
