I am at work and I probably shouldn’t do this right now, but I couldn’t ignore Jocelyn’s plea for more postings. And I had to share my weakness.
Last night after work I didn’t have time to go home before visiting teaching so I stopped at the only place I knew right before my companion’s house…Carl’s Jr. Unfortunately, Carl does not have Jr. hamburgers. Those babies are big. And of course, I cannot resist a burger when it has cheese, bacon, BBQ sauce and onion rings. It is close to perfection. So of course I cannot just eat the giant burger, I have to get fries too, and not just regular fries – criss-cut fries. Mmm, and they are always fresh, I guess not everyone likes to splurge. Well, to top it all off, I was taken in by the signs for the new milkshake flavor…
Yes, Carl’s Jr. now makes a Cap’n Crunch milkshake. And it is yummy. It would only be better if they used the peanut butter cap’n crunch instead. And don’t get the whipped cream because it ends up with a wierd residue at the end…or maybe that was from the cereal? Anyway, it was surprisingly delicious, and the pieces of cereal didn’t scratch the roof of your mouth. So good, you should all have one.
The moral of my story is this…I ate too much food and I had a stomach ache the rest of the night. As good as it sounds, do not give in! You must resist! To help me in my fight, I visited a new website. John’s aunt Gaye told us about it…it is fitday.com and it is amazing. All you do is search for the foods you eat during the day and enter the amount you ate and it calculates the calories and the fats and carbs and all that stuff. It makes it easy to count calories. All you have to do is be honest about your serving sizes.
I made an account right away but I didn’t bother to enter my calories for yesterday…I don’t want to add any outliers.
By the way, this is Becky. John doesn’t eat nearly as much as I do. 
I’m not a Cap’n Crunch fan….BUT we did go to Carl’s the other night for the first in a LONG time and I was IMPRESSED by how dang good it was. I’m sucker for Onion Rings. Some day soon I want to try Jack in the Box’s new fruit smoothies….they look pretty good. Thanks for the post, I’m sitting here AGAIN.
oh ps- You can check the little square after you post a comment and the rest of the omments will be e-mailed to you (I think-I’ve never tried it). As far as I can tell Reader only shows new Posts.
That milkshake flavor sounds interesting…I would have never thought to add that to ice cream. We have all had days like that and I seem to be having a lot more of them lately.
I put up the pic of Abby! Crazy girl.
Okay, I just went to Carl’s Jr yesterday and instead of ordering a grilled chicken something or other, I got the Bacon western cheeseburger. I DID give my fries to Kacy and only had a few (probably more than I realized) and I was tempted by the mildshake. I agree with the PB crunch. We would be good eating buddies, and probably much heavier, if we lived anywhere near each other.
Boy, you people like food. I ate way too much food yesterday. I went to In-N-Out for lunch and went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. I feel super fat today.
I love to go to Carls Jr. too! I totally agree on their portion sizes! They are monsterous burgers! Have you tried the gaucamole burger? MMMMMmmmm…it was really good to! I am totally jealous that you guys have a Cheesecake Factory by! YUM!
I love Carl’s Jr. I prefer their strawberry shake.
