Oh No! Whoppers!

On Friday night, my partner and I went to a local bar and indulged in the $20 cheeseburger, fries, and unlimited drinks special. One gigantic pepperjack cheeseburger, a heaping serving of fries, 3 beers, and a cocktail later, I was a happy camper.

Sounds like we both had amazing weekends.

I was in the car with my hubby and he wanted to go get that burger king deal. And i was sooo hungry. So i ended up getting a double cheeseburger.I was still under my calorie goal and all. But I feel bad for getting it, because i haven't had greasy food like that for awhile now. It tasted so good but man, i felt so sick lol.

Good to know i wasn't the only one who slurged a little lol

I also had 2 on Saturday and it was, hmm.. ok. For some reason they just didn't taste as good as I remembered. They weren't horrible but they weren't all that either.

Certainly not a Five Guys burger.

On Saturday, I partook in Burger King's "Buy One Whopper, Get One Free" deal.



I ate two of these lovelies -- with cheese. I had a light breakfast and a good workout, working up a healthy appetite for the trip to BK in the afternoon. I was pretty well satiated the rest of the day, and consumed a smidge of calories in the evening.

I had a great time with my family this weekend, sitting down in the Burger King to eat, rather than doing the drive-thru. For thousands of years, food has more than fuel for humans. It's been a ritual. It's a time to connect, and enjoy the bounty that they've been blessed to have. We did that this weekend. Sure, we could have done the same with a salad -- but we didn't. We will eat sensibly and stay active this week.

[/b]This bit of indulgence will not be derailing my fitness goals, and I plan to drop a couple of pounds this week.[/b] Since Saturday, I've been eating sensibly, and working out.

I'll report back here by Saturday with the results.

Cue the "Oh gross!", "Fast food is poison", "This is a fitness site!" and "You're going to drive someone to binge and maybe buy an overpriced car too!" comments.

haha I totally went to BK too and got a whopper and gave my sister the other one and it was goooood!!!

Well. I don't particularly care for fast food - but, I did consume an entire gourmet cupcake on Saturday along with a delicious chicken sandwich from a local restaurant. Oh. And fries too.


It was delicious and if I poisoned myself with it - it was worth every minute of it.

Years ago when I was married and very poor and BK had 5 doubles for 5 bucks we ate nothing but these for days maybe even weeks. That's why I can't stand their food... Wendys and Culvers are a weakness of mine. I avoid them at all cost.

mmmm butter burgers!!

Dang! I forgot about this! Can't believe I missed out on a Whopper. Is that promotion still going?

BobbyClerici

Yes, I did the Whoppers - they were WONDERFUL!
Loved it!

And I weighed in today 1lb less, so no ill effects.
The once a week Free Day works wonders when I know I can have these treats without trashing my progress.

OMG UR POISONING URSELF AND UR FAMILY!!! HOW CAN U SUPPORT FAST FOOD COMPANIES THEY ARE EVIL!!


No, I totally agree. I love enjoying a meal at McDonald's, seeing my kids excitment when they know they can eat and play at the play area. It's not bad to treat yourself once in a while.

Have you noticed they are remodeling all the McDs and taking the playplace out...no more climbing, jungle gyms for the kids, just little seats in the shape of trees.

Anyway, I randomly stopped at Cookout last night for some onion rings. I prefer real slices of onions in my breaded and fried fatty goodness than BKs reconstituted onion pieces. I could so go for a Whopper right now though!

I'm not a big Whopper fan...

HOWEVER

If they run a BOGO on Bacon Double Cheeseburgers (or whatever they call them now)... I will be there with the feedbag...err... bells on...

angievaughn

And I thought I was being bad by eating out at Applebee's...I had the grilled fish and steamed vegatables....

I don't have anything on two whoppers....couldn't eat two even when I was almost at my biggest!!

UpEarly

On Saturday... I had pancakes and bacon for breakfast, a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, fries and lemonade for lunch, half a (homemade) pepperoni pizza for dinner, and two candy-cane Oreos for dessert. It was a total junk food extravaganza... but, I stayed under my calorie limit by 345 calories and don't feel a lick of guilt about eating crap. It tasted delicious.

Sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do. :-)

Well done, bro.

Yay! I’m glad you got to eat something you really enjoy and spend time with your family, EEG. Food really is so much more than just calories and nutrients – it’s about community, family, and eating the things you really enjoy.

I also don’t care much for fast food burgers, but I did bake this weekend! I had lots of yummy cookies and pumpkin banana bread. I ate an average of about 2300 calories the past 4 days, and this morning, I woke up to weight myself and I had lost a pound. Hooray for eating! :drinker:

Oh no , OP! you're gonna get fat and die because you ate fast food.

CaptainGordo

I do have to confess... the Whoppers and onion rings made for some deadly fartage later.

I know! I need an intervention now!!! :laugh:

I cannot believe you are eating that poisonous crap, you know they do put poison in it....the American government just turns a blind eye to it. I'd much rather have a bowl of leaves twigs and berries from the organic store in my trendy part of town.




Mmmmmmm I inhaled a plate of shredded beef nachos on Saturday night, then for desert had a few Orange Hefeweizens.

I totally forgot!!!! I made up for it with all of the beer I drank this weekend though, I'm sure.


I'm looking forward to hearing about you loss this week, EEG!

After a Xmas party Friday night (read: hangover). I ate 3 peices of pizza for breakfast, follwed by Miomosa's. Kraft Mac & Cheese for lunch (the kind with the gooey cheese sauce packet) and Ribs for dinner.

You're gonna KILL IT this Saturday EEG!

I've got you ALL beat! On Saturday, at my sister's wedding, I had a piece of wedding cake AND a piece of the groom's cake. The sugar high was UNBELIEVABLE!!
