Mine isn't food related, but my workout motivator is I am not allowed to watch My favorite TV shows unless I am on my elliptical working out. This is great for a few reasons. I can't snack while I am on the elliptical and I love to watch TV that isn't cartoons (I have 2 little kids). So I DVR The Walking Dead, NCIS, Bones and a few other shows and for the last month I have worked out 5 days a week. It is a great motivator for me.0

Mike, have you considered writing a book? You are a great writer and very entertaining. I always look forward to reading your rants.0

Thanks for sharing, Mike.
I always find that McDonald's sounds and smells much better than it actually is. One bite - good. Second bite - hmmm. Third bite - yuck!0 -
Awesome post!
I too, love Mcdonalds. I worked there as a skinny kid back in the eighties.
I swore it off for almost 5 years 2005-2010. Then gave in one day due to convenience. I couldn't stop and gained a ton.
Now, if I want it, I make it fit into my plan. I don't go very often. I cook at home almost exclusively.
I will go there in November. McRib is coming back!0 -
I hate eating alone. There are some great restaurants in the cities I travel to for work. But eating by myself is such an inconvenience in terms of time and lost mental energy (free food - as it is billed to the comapny) that I prefer to go to the corner store, grab some tuna, tomatoes, fruit, etc.. and eat in my room.
So it's laziness of a different sort.0 -
Thanks funny cause this is exactly how I plan to get through Thanksgiving lol....If I can't burn it off that same day, I'm not eating it! lol0

I have a 5K that morning. I signed up for guilt free pie.0 -
If I have McDonalds it will be something more sensible if that’s not an oxymoron.
Exactly. I think black coffee would be a sensible chioce at McDonalds. I just don't go b/c I don't like it that much anymore. Now chicken wings is another story....maybe I should start running since today is discount wing day down the road....0 -
This idea is very inspiring! Next time I get an urge, I'll walk to wherever they sell it! Great idea and example!0

This is my Thanksgiving plan too - doing a 5k that morning, and having some pumpkin pie that night.0
-
I love this idea! I may have to figure something out for me to do like this!0

This is awesome...for me its Coldstone.......LOVE THE PLACE!!!! I eat there but I do not order what I use too and I miss it still...but my challenge is actually going in there with my kids and NOT ordering my usual foudners favorite and going with teh more low caloric options......0

I used to be addicted to McDonalds; I would crave it and it's on my way home and I would be so tempted to stop and my order was close to yours: two hamburgers, a medium fry, a kid sized diet coke and a chocolate milkshake for dessert. Since becoming a vegetarian I have had zero cravings for it and I am really happy for this!! Now my cravings are pizza!! :-P
Pizza with what on it? I love pizza!!0 -
good for you
I have to drive past a mcdonald, kfc burger king and have to tell myself they are a mirage !
No they are really there. LOL. The question is whats inside? :smokin:0 -

Thank You.0 -
