Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh, My.....Burgers, and Shakes, and Fries Oh, My!!!!







WEIGH IN WEDNESDAY

Yes! The time is here to stand up & be counted, or rather "Stand-on, Stand-off,
and Count the Pounds" This week it's another 2 lbs OFF  with which I am
pleased,  as I really did think I had put weight on this week as I had been
experimenting with a couple of Hairy Bikers Diet Recipes, which I have to
say were delicious, but didn't seem all that "Diet Friendly!" I've just looked
at the time and it's 5:30am - you see how keen I am to get on those scales,
time to go back to bed for a bit more shut-eye. To all of you,  that have left
comments so far - THANK YOU VERY MUCH - IT MEANS A LOT.
To all you Bastards that haven't left comments, you know who you are,
get cracking & leave a little token of abuse!! 


Cheeseburger in Paradise!

So, lately I seem to be day dreaming!  Night dreaming!  Dreaming about cheeseburgers!  Cindy bested me last night---salivating at my computer while I was researching places to go in my future and staring at photographs of cheeseburgers!  Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce.......I don't think so, don't hold anything!





Well, this got me thinking about all the amazing burgers I've had to eat!  Here are a few of my favourite fast food restaurants over the year!  Coming in at #1 is In-N-Out Burger!  love, Love, LOVE it!  I enjoyed the drive-thru in LA over the years!  And, you can order the Protein Burger which is wrapped in lettuce instead of the bun, which saves you quite a few calories!  I've also enjoyed a few Whataburgers in my time while working in Texas on "Ace Ventura".  And everyone needs to sample a slider from The White Castle if they are in New York!








And hey, if you are in NYC, then you should definitely stop by P.J. Clarke's for a really late night cheeseburger, beer, and if you're lucky, there might be an old sax player who will play "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" for your girl!


I have to say that recently, I found myself in Boston promoting the 6th series of "Doc Martin".  I, of course was trying to find the best cheeseburger in Beantown and...........I found it!  It was called "Mr. Bartley's Gourmet Burgers and was a little dive in Harvard Square, just around the corner from Harvard, Cambridge, and MIT.  Check out the menu!  And my after shot featuring me in a food coma!




In closing, I thought I would attach this clip from Saturday Night Live (the early years)!


And if you have a little more time..............

  2. Loving your blog! But don't seem to be able to leave a comment. What am I doing wrong? Well done for losing 2 more lbs. I'm off to weigh myself now...

    Only lost 1 lb ahhhhh, this is getting harder! But at least it's not weight on.

  3. So impressed by your power to resist temptation. I say keep up with the online burger porn, it gets the juices going.

    Meanwhile I'm trying new ways to live healthier. It has recently come to my attention that 3 cups of coffee before 8am is perhaps too much. But, it's day 13 in the yoga challenge and I've done 11 classes so far. I might not be marathon ready but my vinyassa is improving. Whatever the fak that is.

    Lots of love,
    Jenny

    1. You say that your "VINYASSA" is improving, all I can say is that
      Travers must be one hell of a happy boy - with a smile from ear
      to ear - lucky man!! xxx

  4. Indeed I am one lucky guy! Jenny can now twist and move her body in ridiculous ways. Yoga also leaves her in a state similar to a coma which is rather scary!

    Keep shredding those pounds Pops. Great job. Your blog has inspired Jenny and I to live healthier lifestyles too. I have just signed up for my third marathon. Will be running the SF race in July. So we should all be looking rather trim in time for Em's wedding! Just got to stay away from those burgers! Much love,
    Trav

  5. Nice! Im so happy to be kept in the loop, these posts do make me laugh! So proud of you. I have taken up spying classes, my plan was to go running every evening but quite tricky in the gale force winds/rain looking forward to it clearing up as I do like running! Looking forward to the next weigh in. You are keeping me on my toes re spinning, I am going to try go twice a week to start of, and they have a lovely sauna in the gym too! Well done Daddy!! Mais

    2. Congrats, Sweetie! Two pounds is GREAT! As I recall, the Hairy Dieters said that it's normal to be losing two pounds a week. Maybe that's all you can lose if you follow their recipes! I'll try looking for some more books for you! So, I brought Roger home from the hospital and guess what he was craving??? That's right.............I had to go and buy him a cheeseburger last night! But it wasn't in paradise! So proud of you! Keep it up! Love, Cins xxoo
