I don't think I'll ever eat In 'n Out again. One chocolate shake (15 oz.) has more calories and fat grams than a comparable amount of chocolate ice cream (2 cups of Breyer's chocolate). And the only hamburger that is even remotely acceptable as far as calories and fat is the plain hamburger without the sauce on it. And what fun is that? It's a place you eat when you don't care about calories, sodium fat, etc. I have recently had a paradigm shift in my thinking about food. I just can't eat that way anymore. It's self abuse to eat fast food. I really don't think there is any healthy fast food. I was wondering if maybe El Pollo Loco might be considered somewhat more healthy. Perhaps that is one place to eat if I am absolutely desperate for a take-out meal:

Today was one of those days. We just rushed around trying to get everything done. The most fun I had was eating dinner and watching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine with my husband. We have both become hardcore Trekkies. We've watched the whole original series of Star Trek in order, and then Star Trek: Next Generation, and now currently we are on Season 3 of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Next we might buy Star Trek: Voyager. And that's probably where we will stop. Or maybe we will stop with Deep Space Nine. It's hard to say where I draw the line because as I watch more and more of the different shows, I keep expanding my ideas of what I enjoy in the Star Trek universe. I have always liked sci-fi. So I guess it's natural to check out what Star Trek has to offer. There are a lot of great movies to buy or rent, not just the Star Trek movies, but I mean also the great 50's and 60's and 70's sci-fi movies. I also like fantasy movies. But I am definitely on a sci-fi kick these days.
I've been daydreaming about taking a weekend trip. I want to go to Santa Cruz and ride on the narrow gauge train from the beach to the redwood forest. That's a fun trip. I did it once before, many years ago. But time and money are hard to find these days.
Easter was a blast, by the way. I dressed my daughter up really cute. And she got a ton of neat Easter surprises: stuffed animals, books, toys, and a little bit of candy (all things safe for toddlers to eat, such as a couple chocolate eggs and some marshmallows). It's just a joy to see children enjoying things, at least when they are small enough to not be spoiled or jaded. I couldn't eat any candy but it was ok. I take that back, I had some jelly beans but avoided all the chocolate and cake. I brought some healthy chicken to eat, rather than having the pork. It kinda sucks having to be so careful with food. But almost everything makes me sick now. There was a mix-up at my doctor's office and I almost got lost in the mess. I had to call and straighten it out. Now I'll have to wait a little longer to get the necessary tests to figure out what is wrong with me. Hopefully it is nothing serious and I can get taken care of in an appropriate time frame.
