i've been gone from this forum for a while, but i just came back from a trip in which journaling played an important part, so i guess i'm still in the blogging mood.

this morning i had the #7 meal at McD's, the soh-seh-jee/egg/cheese McGriddles with hash brown.  Mm mm!!  not only was it delicious, but i just found out, nutritious as well!  talk about this for convenience:  in one single meal, i took care of 66% of the total fat and 68% of the sodium recommended for daily nutrition.  it's so densely packed with nutrients, it almost feels like cheating.

for a while now, i've been complaining to myself (and to others) that i'm too fat.  my pants were fitting too tightly and it would have been horrible to have to buy a new wardrobe just because i'm a lazy bastard who can't get to the gym.  well, on my recent trip i had the great fortune of getting food poisoned- not only did it flush out my system (and by "flush", i mean FLUSH), but i ate very little for the next three days because i lost my appetite.  and now, voila!  my jeans are loose again.  not only that, but i rediscovered an old friend called "my abs" which were hiding beneath a layer of fat for many, many months.  i thought they disappeared entirely, but turns out they were just hibernating.
