Short & Furious Travels

Occasionally, Josh and I will realize we're chubby bums and will attempt to change our lifestyle. The most recent incident being the drive to Allentown to tour a Planet Fitness gym with the intent to join. We never made it to the gym. Instead we bee-lined for the Popeye's Chicken near the gym and came home with two buckets of fried chicken. Was it a low point in our lives? Yes..... Was the chicken crispy, hot and delicious? Triple yes!

So today we're going to start small and start planning slightly healthier meals. I told everyone about carb cycling ages ago and while some folks stuck to the diet I raved about, we cheated, ate junk and then stopped. Hehehehe....We did lose some weight while on the diet so we're gonna try again.  Plus, Josh has a whole list of food restrictions to follow now due to his ulcerative colitis so we gotta get serious about our eating habits here.

Sunday is cheat day so we're gonna start on Monday but of course I'll do some prepping beforehand today to ease the workload for the weekday.
