Burger Bucket List

Well, my burger bucket list is now complete.  A few months ago, a friend informed me of these hamburgers that I just MUST try.  So on a mission we went to sample all these burgers.  Some were worth it, some were not.  On our list was the Anchor Burger which is a rinky dink bar with greasy bar food.  I have never eaten at the Anchor, and have heard nothing but ravishing reviews of all who had the Anchor Burger Experience.  My initial impression was "eh".  Burger was OK, but nothing special.  My mom makes an equally tasty burger.  The biggest down fall, for me, was that the accompanying soda was flat and gross which kind of ruined the whole experience for me.

Onto a Culver's Butter Burger.  Never had I had one before.  Until a week or so ago.  Under the recommendation of my burger eating buddy, I got a double bacon butter burger.  Delicious!  The down fall this time was that in addition to the burger, we got chocolate malts which made our tummys expand something fierce.  Too much food.  A double burger, fries, and a malt.....yikes!

After saying "never again", and recovering for about a month, today we tried the Five Guys burger.  Again, a foreign experience for me.  This time, we got a burger, soda, and split the fries.  Perfection.  Though it is quite a different burger from Culver's, the entire experience was more enjoyable because we didn't get over stuffed, the soda was delicious, and the burger quite tasty.

All of this Burger sampling has not been agreeable with a healthy lifestyle nor one that promotes weight loss.  Still, I weighed myself today, and I am not too far gone yet.  Still 12 pounds down from where I originally started, but about 10 pounds up from where I'd like to be.

Now that my Burger Bucket List is complete, I won't be eating burgers out anytime soon.  Its been a summer of burgers, blizzards, and bonfires! 

Georgia Mud Fudging

I'm baaaaaaack.  That could either mean one of two things:  1).  I am doing pretty darn great or 2).  I am failing miserably.  Let's go with the latter, though I really wish it could be the prior.

Again, days are being described as "good days" and "bad days" in regards to the food consumption.  I can't remember the last time I had a "good day".  Today is scheduled to be that ever missing Good Day of which I had a whole summer filled with Good Days last summer. 

This summer is a stark contrast from last summer.  Last summer was filled with salads, fruits, veggies, turkey sandwiches, rollerblading and hiking galore.  This summer has yet to fine me out on my blades (mostly in part to the devastating flood that left my only rollerblading trail in ruins, but also in part to my laziness).  Its been a summer of Blizzards (and I don't mean the snow type of blizzard. Have you tried Georgia Mud Fudge?  OMG, delicious!) and backyard fires!  With the backyard fires comes S'mores and "foo foo booze" like Mikes Hard Lemonade and Wine Coolers....basically just sugar with a bit of alcohol.  All quite nummy! 

With all that nummy-ness comes extra poundage on the bod. 

Currently I am on vacation from work.  Just a staycation at home that I was hoping to restart myself.  Get back into some healthy habits.  Instead I have falling into that familiar refrain of "I'll start tomorrow".  Today I am taking a little road trip and had visions of stopping at fast food somewhere along the way and maybe having a car load full of delicious snacks to munch on in the car. 

BUT NO! 

I have decided that today will be my first Good Day!  NOT my last Bad Day. 

Hopefully.
