McDonalds Nightmare

                                                         

                                                    Guess what? I ate fries for 30 days and I GAINED WEIGHT!!!

Have you heard about the new movie "Supersize Me" about the guy, Morgan Spurlock, who decided to eat super-sized portions of McDonalds food for 1 month and see what happened to him?

Anyone have a guess what happened? I know you'll be as surprised as I was by the results. I'll break the suspense and tell you. He gained weight!!! He felt sick!!!! His cholesterol went up!!! Amazing developments and all of them completely unexpected!!

These kind of films are so idiotic and depressing in that they comment on how non-responsible most Americans are, and how willing they are to be led slowly to drink from the trough of non-choice in this country. Does anyone think that eating fast-food for 30 days is a good idea? Is anyone surprised that the film's creator gained weight and his cholesterol went up? Obviously this movie has hit a nerve with the art-house elitists on both coasts because to read the coverage of it you'd think Spurlock discovered life on another planet. He's now claiming credit for Mcdonald's recent decision  to eliminate super-sized options from its menu.

So I got to thinking, I became inspired by the brilliance shown in Supersize Me and I am going to make my own movie!. I'm going to try one of these options and film it and then post the results. Please leave feedback to help me make my decision.

1. I will do nothing but snort cocaine for thirty days and film the results. They may be bloody but I believe they'll be informative at the very least! Relentless cocaine use is an area that is unexplored and I think I can contribute to the understanding of cocaine usage in today's society.

2. I will drink only upper-shelf grain alcohol, like Grey Goose vodka, for thirty days and film my reactions. My boyfriend may be unhappy but I think this is an area that needs further scientific exploration. Wish me luck and send me donations for aspirin!

3. I am going to become a two-pack a day smoker of cigarettes. I don't smoke now so there is already a good baseline of data to start with. I expect no adverse reactions and because tobacco is legal this would be easier to accomplish than option #1 above.

4. I will eat nothing but Ben and Jerrys and Haagen Daaz ice cream for thirty days. It's legal, it tastes good so it must be good for you, right?

Maybe I'll combine all 4 options for a super-max movie on what these things can do for you. I'm sure the results will prove as surprising as they did for the maker of "Supersize Me."

The End of a Relationship...

                                      

                                          and the beginning of another....

Is always very sad, especially when it's with your personal trainer. I've decided to stop working out with my current trainer because I feel he doesn't emphasize weight-training as much as I'd like, despite my repeated requests that we stop running stairs and start pumping iron. 

The picture above is my new trainer. He trains independently from my gym which means I'll be working out at a different facility that's designed for use by trainers and their clients, so there will always be equipment available even at peak hours. I'll keep you all updated on my progress, my first appointment is in an hour!
