The big beefy burger amnesty
I return to the UK in 25 days. And I think it's fair to say that I could do with eating a bit healthier. So, between now and my flight back, I'm on a burger amnesty.
This could be difficult. After all, I'm living in Texas. And the burgers here are stunning in every way. Whether it's the superb blue cheese burger from my local pub across the road, or Burger Street at 2am after a night out, or just the rather lovely Jack In The Box drivethru close to where I work... it all has to stop.
Now, granted, cutting burgers out of my diet won't turn me from being a slightly heavier-than-when-I-got-here Chris into a slender muscled one. It's more of a symbolic gesture to go alongside the other things I'll be doing.
It's also going to be a challenge. I like burgers. Especially the ones here.
I'm now going to do some sit-ups while avoiding the thought of two beef patties, oozing with cheese, some onion and tomato slices in a freshly toasted bun... mmmm...
