Healthy Fast Food

I am going to start eating healthy again, but I am approaching it differently this time.  I tend to have the same roadblocks pop up over and over again.  Before I start eating healthy I want to come up with multiple solutions for my roadblocks.  One of those roadblocks is eating fast food at lunch time, because it is what is convenient and available where I  work. I don't always have time or even want to pack a lunch, so I eat fast food.  This morning, I am going to do some research and find a few fast food lunches I can eat that won't kill the calorie/healthy budget.

Option 1: Chick-Fil-A Grilled chicken sandwich and fruit cup.  400 Calories

Option 2: Zaxby's 5 chicken fingers (no drink, no fries) 570 Calories

Option 3: Zaxby's Kiddie Finger 600 Calories

The next roadblock I run in to is convenience meals.  I don't really like cooking and I don't like stopping by the grocery store every day.  I like to survive on frozen pizzas and only cooking on occasion.  Lean Cuisines are usually gross and unsatisfying.  I need to find a few quick fix meals (open package, place in oven/microwave) that are filling and edible.  I just did some online searching and didn't find anything promising.  Most of what came up was the typical 200-350 calorie frozen dinners.  I'm looking for something is 400-600 calorie range.  Anything less than 400 and I may as well just binge because I'm going to be so hungry afterwards that it will inevitably happen.  I guess I will have to do some grocery store searching for what I want.  Update to come

Bipolar Owl

I'm out of town this weekend so I didn't have much time to find what I wanted to post about.  I think my next big post is going to be about the stigma of taking medication, so for this Saturday enjoy a meme about bipolar meds. 

An Exciting New Name

It turns out I'm pretty awful at naming things.  I have been pondering for an hour over what I should name this blog.  Health and Life is a good name, but a common one.  I even looked up this wonderful website on how to name your blog.  I managed to take up a whole piece of paper with a lot of phrases that don't make any sense or have no relatedness to my blog.  I think my favorite name is "The Afflicted Scientist", but outside of the afflicted part I can't make it relate.  For now, Health and Life will remain my blog name. As far as weekly progress goes I suspect I will meet two of my goals.  I have done my leg strengthening exercises three days, and I have tracked using Lose It!every day.  I almost didn't track Lose It! today because I thought I would go over on calories.  Going over on calories is not a good reason to not track.  I entered in everything and was only about 20 calories over, so it really wasn't bad.

Dream

The moon lights up the night, As I watch the dancing sprites. The spring wind blows, to the place no one knows, As the elves sing away my woes. And all of the dragons take to flight before the signs of first day light
