The Five Dollar Diet Pays Off!

Today is October 1st!!!  As I had promised on my second post, today is the day when the world would know if the Five Dollar Diet works at all!  So I got up in the morning and weighed myself.

Drum roll please...

I actually lost weight!!!  Hooray!  As it turns out, I lost a total of 3.5 pounds in the last two weeks since I began the Five Dollar Diet on September 15th.  Ah, the fruits of my labor!  That brings my total weight down to 268.5.  My goal is to weigh 200 lbs by the end of 2011.  At the current pace of 3.5 lbs every 15 days, I will lose the remaining 68.5 lbs in less than ten months!  By my calculations I will reach 198.5 lbs on August 1, 2011...

However, I am realistic and it may be that my recent success may not be typical.  Therefore, I will continue my Five Dollar Diet and report back the results on 10/15/2010.

Still, it is quite an accomplishment that I will savor!

This is so awesome!

What KFC Is All About

So today I decided to go to Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) to celebrate my 3.5 lbs that I lost.  When I walked into the restaurant I was surprised to see the Colonel standing like right there, and do you know what he did?  He offered me a free bucket of chicken!  Can you believe it?

Actually, I'm just kidding.  It was only a cardboard cut-out.  It turns out that KFC is celebrating 70 years of finger-lickin' goodness, which is probably why the restaurant was nicely decorated.  So I looked at the menu and was pleased by their array of value-priced items, including the KFC Snacker for $1.29 and the Honey BBQ Sandwich for $2.99.  They even had a special Fill-Up Box for five bucks.  Yeah!!!

It's nice to know KFC has also embraced the Five Dollar Diet philosophy!  haha

In the end, though, I wanted MORE.  So I pulled out a coupon that I had in my pocket for an ENTIRE MEAL for $3.99.  The meal included a grilled chicken leg & thigh, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn on the cob, and a delicious biscuit!  Now that's more like it!

At that price, I could afford a small soft drink for $0.99, which pushed the total to $4.98 plus $0.44 in taxes gave me a grand total of $5.42 out the door.

You can't get any better than that for a full sized meal!
