0:12
little bit of a walk about a mile and a
0:13
half
0:14
walk that direction towards Highway 192
0:17
and then back of course maybe see what
0:18
there is on Highway 192. in the general
0:20
area near the fake Water Tower
0:23
that designates that this is the
0:25
community of celebration in that General
0:27
vicinity is a Chick-fil-A and I am going
0:30
to try to eat the healthiest items at
0:33
Chick-fil-A not a large portions of them
0:35
but enough to get myself a little bit of
0:38
a meal I mean
0:39
day two or three of trying to lose
0:41
weight yesterday I made a whole big
0:42
announcement about it yeah so I guess
0:44
yesterday was for me first official day
0:47
and I'm not going to deter myself from
0:50
going places that I enjoy but I'm going
0:52
to try to change up the menu items a
0:54
little bit I'm inviting you to join me
0:56
see what I can find
0:58
shall you showing about a mile and a
1:01
according to this will take me 33
1:03
minutes to walk there and back and I
1:04
also get some good steps in
1:07
also hit the gym today
1:10
which I've been going to the gym for a
1:11
few days if you want to follow along in
1:13
my treadmill
1:15
tracks Adventures you can follow me on
1:18
Instagram Adam the woo atw on Instagram
1:20
I've been posting a story every day on
1:22
there whenever I hit the old treadmill
1:24
and whatnot
1:25
I'm excited about dropping some pounds
1:28
the healthy way
1:29
this time anyway good Chick-fil-A it's
1:32
about 6 14 p.m so the weather's kind of
1:34
nice also you can see I have 202 100
1:38
budgeted calories for today but because
1:40
I did through I knocked off 300 on the
1:44
treadmill today 300 calories it boosts
1:46
it up to 2297.
1:49
you know save for my morning coffee that
1:51
I had earlier
1:52
I've been using this app online to lose
1:54
it
1:55
app on the
1:57
iPhone
1:59
and there's no way I'm gonna eat 2 000
2:02
calories that Chick-fil-A so I'm gonna
2:03
be far underneath
2:05
my my calorie content for the day which
2:07
is what I'm looking for
2:10
I want to be under that every day it is
2:11
a little sunny and warm today but being
2:13
in the shade it's not too bad and
2:16
you know the hottest part of the day is
2:18
over being that it's late afternoon
2:21
it should be a pretty pretty nice little
2:23
walk down here a little traversing the
2:25
pavement
2:26
right along here
2:29
I was gonna drive but
2:31
might as well walk I just love these
2:33
houses through here always reminds me of
2:35
a Backlot like a like a Hollywood
2:36
Backlot
2:55
I stated this the other day but I have
2:55
not noticed any Alligators around lately
2:58
oh a fish just jumped out of there
3:01
there's like a little splash over there
3:07
it's been a while
3:07
since I've seen a gator and
3:09
any of the lakes or attention ponds
3:15
maybe they're just hiding
3:15
it's a golf course over there
3:18
when you walk along here pay a lot of
3:20
the road there's this little overlook
3:22
it's a bench on there now I've rode my
3:25
bike on the other side of this road but
3:26
never on this side
3:28
seeing these benches there there's a bag
3:31
over there
3:32
floating bags are beautiful
3:41
offer down there too even though Disney
3:41
is no longer affiliated with the town
3:43
itself they do have offices and stuff
3:45
here you can see they're still on the
3:47
light poles there's still some of the
3:48
Disney
3:49
little emblems there see it also this is
3:52
upside down I'm gonna spin it around
4:07
kind of excited about this new process
4:07
when it go go into a lot of the same
4:09
places where I can really change the
4:11
places that I go a little bit I will
4:14
but just ordering different items
4:16
instead of going for the the worst thing
4:18
on the menu which is what I always did
4:20
it'd be kind of a fun experiment
4:23
and I really think it'll work
4:30
I think it'll work
4:30
overtime
4:32
you know
4:34
for example less sugar less fried foods
4:39
less hot dogs
4:41
full artwork out I always kind of use
4:43
that excuse when I would go to places
4:45
and you know film certain things you
4:47
know food reviews or
4:48
certain
4:50
seasonal items
4:52
and I would say no I want to see me eat
4:53
a salad
4:54
I don't have to always eat salad I could
4:56
just eat something that's not as bad as
4:58
I was what what I was eating I don't
5:00
have to go full on salads
5:02
I just got to cut it back
5:05
kind of just reel it in a little bit
5:07
and maybe people want to see me
5:09
something that
5:10
wasn't a salad but also wasn't a
5:13
gluttonous
5:15
calorie filled treat it's like a halfway
5:18
me half medium there
5:20
halfway halfway point
5:22
I think that I think that'd be good
5:23
gotta love the cross street names here
5:25
Celebration Place
5:28
celebration Ave
5:34
got 30 seconds across there's plenty of
5:34
time
5:36
sometimes the roads are confused
5:38
celebration Play Celebration Ave
5:39
celebration Street Celebration Boulevard
5:42
I'm making a couple of those up but you
5:43
get the idea
5:45
this might be the first time I've ever
5:46
walked this path I've rode my bike a lot
5:49
I felt like riding the bike today
5:51
I just felt like walking it
5:57
all right take a look at the menu here
5:57
the celebration Chick-fil-A is opened
5:59
till 11 pm
6:01
and let's see there's a menu item there
6:03
we go menu
6:05
so I'm gonna look at the menu
6:07
see what pulled up here breakfast entree
6:10
salads let's look at entrees
6:13
so the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich is
6:15
fried I'm gonna say that's probably fry
6:17
that's probably the calories are kind of
6:18
high deluxe sandwich
6:20
spicy chicken all those very tasty but I
6:23
need to go with a grilled here we go
6:25
grilled chicken sandwich 390 calories
6:28
call it 400 calories 390.
6:31
there's also if I wanted a little bacon
6:33
some cheese
6:35
and other items 520 so I'm adding on 130
6:39
calories just for that so I think I
6:40
might go with the standard
6:42
grilled chicken sandwich throw a little
6:44
mustard on there and then I'll probably
6:46
sit there 400 calories so I might get
6:47
that
6:48
there's also the regular nuggets I don't
6:50
want to get those but I might get the
6:51
grilled nuggets look at this half
6:53
half of the calories
6:56
just from getting fried to grilled
6:58
something at the grill that's 130.
7:01
and then I'm gonna get
7:03
the grilled chicken the regular potato
7:05
fries are 400 420 cows what I just got
7:08
would be doubled if I got the potato
7:10
fries so I'm gonna opt out of that but I
7:12
think I might go with a 60 ounce
7:15
fruit cup
7:17
that brings it to like 590 so we get one
7:19
of those I could get a side salad but I
7:22
think I've already got quite a bit look
7:23
at that 450 for mac and cheese
7:26
chicken noodle soup 170 tortilla soup
7:29
340. how about a kale crunch side I'm
7:32
gonna get the kale crunch side
7:34
I don't really like kale too much but
7:36
maybe I could learn to love it 170 and
7:38
then the Greek yogurt parfait so that's
7:40
what I'm gonna do Greek yogurt parfait
7:42
that's 270. kale crunch side
7:46
that's 170 270 that would be so after
7:49
doing the math it's a little over a
7:50
thousand calories a thousand 30 calories
7:52
for those items
7:55
that's the ones I'm gonna get
7:57
no fried just grilled parfait kale salad
8:01
a fruit cup
8:03
five items there it is cut the flag up
8:06
above there waving in the breeze a nice
8:09
little nice little breeze out here at
8:11
the moment
8:12
the Chick-fil-A order delivery mobile
8:16
over here as well and another one over
8:17
here Chick-fil-A delivery mobile
8:19
Chick-fil-A vehicle parking only over
8:21
here
8:22
this place gets pretty busy sometimes
8:24
the drive-through it's been a while I've
8:26
been to this one but
8:27
I have been to this place many times
8:29
just Chick-fil-A
8:31
to be honest it's probably been a year
8:33
since I went through even the drive
8:34
through here
8:36
I do love some Chick-fil-A
8:37
some tasty chicken goodness oh they got
8:40
seats outside too that's nice maybe I'll
8:43
sit outside babe
8:44
do my little review
8:53
it's a good sized flag right there as
8:53
well
8:57
at this hour
8:57
really not a lot of people in the
8:58
drive-through
9:00
654. I know after the park slot after
9:02
Disney lets out this place is a real
9:04
beehive of activity a lot of people pull
9:06
in here in fact
9:09
there's two lanes drive through the lane
9:11
here drive through Lane there and they
9:13
Loop you around to come back around
9:15
through here so if it's too long it goes
9:17
completely around
9:19
got a little mat here when you first
9:21
walk in it says yum down below oh here's
9:24
a little nugget of History well that's a
9:26
little red card that's a Coca-Cola six
9:29
pack in there I'll not be drinking any
9:30
Coca-Cola but as you know their founder
9:32
true Kathy got to start in business of
9:35
the young age of eight
9:36
it's summertime you sold ice bottles of
9:38
ice Coca-Cola to his neighbors from a
9:39
wagon much like the one you see here Not
9:42
only was this the first mini Adventures
9:43
by Truitt his pursued but also started a
9:46
story partnership between Chick-fil-A
9:48
and the Coca-Cola all right I placed my
9:51
order I opted to sit outside they gave
9:52
me this little
9:53
little stand-up thing that I put on
9:55
they're going to bring the food out
9:56
total for all the items that are coming
9:58
out probably should wipe this table down
10:01
32.97
10:02
32.87 as shown here on the receipt one
10:05
grilled chicken sandwich an eight piece
10:07
nugget even the eight pieces 130
10:08
calories is great the kale crunch salad
10:10
two I want I'm getting a little crazy
10:12
and I get two fruit cups and the Granola
10:15
parfait Sands the granola no granola on
10:18
there and I asked for a large water
10:20
sometimes when you ask for water they
10:21
bring a little sample cup but they're
10:23
going to bring me a gargantuan large
10:25
water
10:27
which is no charge for that 32.87
10:29
attacks fun fact the fruit cup apples
10:32
are a blend of pink oh thank you
10:39
yeah yeah thank you
10:39
I didn't have time to read all that okay
10:42
the interesting thing is I ordered it
10:43
for here I ordered it for here and they
10:46
ended up bringing it in it to go back so
10:47
I guess like it'll break it out on a
10:49
truck got yeah this looks like a pretty
10:51
good pretty good amount of stuff here
10:54
all right this is what we're dealing
10:57
with so this is the large water it's not
11:00
because a lot of places will not give
11:01
you like a big water like that so
11:04
props at Chick-fil-A one of the two
11:06
different
11:08
let's say let's get to the bottom of
11:10
this
11:15
and then the kale
11:15
you see the roasted almonds I guess you
11:16
could put on top of those which I don't
11:18
know if I don't know maybe I will
11:21
60 calories each for this I don't know
11:23
if I'm you know maybe I'll put some
11:24
almonds on there I've heard that nuts
11:25
are pretty good for
11:28
weight loss and whatnot with it again
11:29
this is gonna this is gonna curb my
11:31
appetite eating all this
11:37
really
11:37
watch mushrooms
11:42
um
11:47
it definitely needs to change
11:47
this is really good
12:15
I need roasted barbecue sauce well it's
12:15
not mustard
12:30
this might be too much food
12:30
I also Imagine the reason that this has
12:34
more calories than just
12:37
because
12:38
of the breath took the bread off
12:39
probably probably saving yourself to
12:43
find the calories
12:48
actually you can take that back it's
12:48
pretty good
13:02
all right it might be a new it might be
13:02
uh a new advocate of kale it's just
13:05
really good whatever the seasoning and
13:06
sauce to put on it is really good
13:07
whatever the
13:10
dressing yeah
13:21
I like fried chicken but real chicken is
13:21
pretty good too
14:15
I have all of this for just over a
14:15
thousand calories it's called 1100. all
14:18
right parfait huh
14:23
it looks like a lot of it's the fruit
14:25
cup items but they just put a little
14:27
whipped cream and
14:28
oh yeah
14:40
try this
14:40
one I guess it's like a yogurt that's
14:43
really good it's like yogurt
15:13
I have not had a yogurt type of item
15:13
yeah
15:29
it's like riding a bike though always it
15:29
all comes back to you the flavor palette
15:32
all right because I don't want to walk
15:34
back with anything I'm going to go ahead
15:35
and just finish this off now
15:37
or at least have a few pieces go with uh
15:41
strawberry
15:44
then go with the orange
15:46
a tasty meal tasty semi-healthy healthy
15:50
I would say healthy I mean there's
15:51
healthier things but for fast food
15:53
you're pretty dang healthy
15:55
healthy meal going with the grilled and
15:57
the fried also there was no one sitting
15:59
out here until I started eating
16:01
and then a big group of cheerleaders
16:03
show up showed up and grabbed all the
16:04
other tables around me so I was like
16:06
trying not to like get other people on
16:08
camera
16:09
then also trying to eat and do my little
16:12
review so it's always kind of a
16:14
kind of a very difficult task to do that
16:22
all right the temperature is cooling
16:22
down now pretty day good I think I'm
16:24
going to be able to do this not getting
16:25
fried getting grilled getting better
16:27
different stuff getting fruit options
16:28
which I rarely rarely rarely ever will
16:31
eat fruit I usually will just get
16:34
like veggies and meats and things but
16:37
I'm in this for the Long Haul so we'll
16:39
see what happens there you go for
16:40
posterity got the Drake got my leftovers
16:43
in the bag and have some leftovers
16:44
surprisingly me and leftovers is not a
16:47
common thing people are now pulling into
16:49
the drive-through it's becoming very
16:50
very busy well not very busy but busy
16:53
enough
16:53
as the day progresses I think that's
16:55
going to be make for a good
16:57
a good documentation of what I just had
16:59
and water you know Soda is so easy to
17:02
consume where you just like get sewed
17:04
and you down it
17:07
but then you're still thirsty
17:09
with water you drink it you're still
17:11
thirsty afterwards but you haven't
17:12
consumed all the calories
17:14
doesn't make any sense what I'm saying
17:16
but that's fine all right start walking
17:18
back
17:20
called 1200 calories
17:22
so I'm going to go ahead and put that in
17:24
there
17:25
recent meals let's see how do we get
17:27
back to this done
17:29
so this is today is still leaving me
17:31
with a thousand ninety seven calories
17:34
left over from my budget
17:36
for the day and that will be all I'm
17:38
going to eat today so did pretty good I
17:40
feel like I ate way more than I really
17:44
did I mean I ate a decent amount but man
17:46
I I'm pretty full
17:49
pretty full right now and there's the
17:51
treadmill workout from earlier and
17:53
usually when I go to a fast food place I
17:55
always will take it to go and I'll go
17:56
find a parking lot somewhere to eat on
17:58
the hood of my car or find a park bench
18:01
I was I was fooled
18:03
into thinking that I wouldn't have to
18:04
that wouldn't be a major issue today
18:06
but ended up being once I sat a lot of
18:10
people showed up and it was kind of
18:12
kind of awkward because obviously if you
18:14
have a camera in front of your face and
18:15
you're eating everyone's gonna be
18:17
staring at you
18:19
that's kind of what was going on though
18:20
the whole time
18:25
celebration Water Tower
18:27
I cannot believe how full I feel off
18:31
and I didn't even eat all the bread
18:38
I didn't even eat all the bread that's
18:38
like such a glare too there
18:40
I still I took some of the bread off of
18:42
the sandwich
18:43
and one thing I failed to do was to get
18:45
mustard beforehand I had that honey
18:46
barbecue sauce yeah probably should have
18:48
had the cotton regular mustard instead
18:51
next time
18:52
should have only got one fruit cup I
18:54
only ate one fruit cup and half the
18:55
other fruit cup so I've got right
18:57
through half the other fruit cup away
18:59
and I only ate probably half the bread
19:02
on the chicken sandwich and I feel like
19:04
I ate like a huge four course buffet
19:06
style Meal which is because the last few
19:09
days I think I've been tapering back so
19:11
it's working
19:12
it's working I'm not gonna weigh myself
19:14
for like another week or ten days I
19:15
might get rid of myself every day but
19:18
anyway
19:26
I hear a siren I think this could be a
19:26
good thing for me not necessarily just a
19:28
series of eating like semi-healthy stuff
19:31
and I kind of feel like maybe that
19:33
wasn't the healthiest thing but it
19:34
wasn't the most unhealthy thing as I was
19:36
saying earlier
19:37
but I feel like I could just kind of
19:39
change my eating habits don't do the
19:41
whole like not eating for long periods
19:44
of time granted I'm doing some
19:45
intermittent fasting or I'm not eating
19:47
in the morning just drinking coffee
19:49
and then at night have a decent sized
19:51
meal and maybe like a little snack
19:53
during the day count the calories
19:57
see what happens
20:01
I'm excited
20:03
truthfully I should have only gotten the
20:05
little the Nugget Parts the the grilled
20:07
nuggets those might be a go-to from now
20:10
on
20:11
maybe shouldn't even got the sandwich
20:12
but I wanted to try different menu items
20:14
oh it's coming this way
20:17
with the water tower over there and
20:19
there's also an entrance here welcome to
20:22
the town
20:23
celebration
20:29
if I was to do that over again I would
20:29
omit the parfait I would admit one of
20:32
the fruit cups I just have one fruit cup
20:33
and not two and instead of getting the
20:35
sandwich I would just go double
20:38
on the grilled nuggets
20:39
would have been a little bit less and I
20:41
would be less full as I am
20:43
and we've been less than less than the
20:45
whole grand scheme to take calorie wise
20:46
that's what I would probably if I had to
20:48
redo it again
20:49
that's what I would have done
20:51
I think I could get away without eating
20:52
a lot of breaded stuff
20:54
as long as I have a little protein a
20:56
little meat protein
20:58
you can get away man I like a good
20:59
sandwich
20:59
but it's not necessarily a necessity to
21:02
have a lot of bread all the time I gotta
21:05
get away with cutting that back
21:06
just throwing stuff out there
21:09
just talk just thinking out loud the
21:10
thing that's interesting is my belly is
21:13
so full now that it feels like
21:16
everything I worked for the last couple
21:17
days went out the window but I know it
21:19
didn't because I'm seeing the progress
21:22
I'm charting the progress but I feel
21:24
like I just had the worst meal that I
21:26
could possibly eat and I feel so full
21:34
but I know it's working
21:34
that's what's bizarre
21:43
well according to the calorie count
21:43
anyway I mean I don't know it feels like
21:46
I ate worse stuff than I understood that
21:47
I just ate the Big Challenge I don't
21:49
want to use the word challenge but the
21:51
big experiment see how I do at baseball
21:53
games and theme parks because those are
21:56
the kind of places that hello I have the
22:00
habits
22:00
of eating for me
22:03
but I'm gonna do it it's a fun
22:05
experiment
22:07
a life change if you will don't call it
22:10
a diet don't call it a weight loss plan
22:12
even though that's what I'm calling it
22:13
a lot of people say make a lifestyle
22:16
change that's what I'm going to try to
22:17
do that's what I'm trying to do I've
22:18
also learned the older I get
22:20
the harder it is to keep the pounds off
22:24
I can just eat a little bit
22:26
and I wake up heavier than I was the day
22:27
before
22:34
ah aging is fun I'm also not adding into
22:34
the you know the calorie count in the
22:36
apps and all that with exercise I don't
22:38
count my steps in I do every day so
22:40
that's just like an extra added bonus I
22:43
count the time on the treadmill thus
22:45
easily calculatable and it shows me when
22:46
I'm done with the treadmill workout but
22:48
as far as taking steps
22:50
I'm not even going to add that into the
22:51
equation that's just that's just like an
22:53
extra little bonus
22:54
which makes me wonder if I walk a mile
22:56
and a half there and a mile and a half
22:57
back how much of that 1200 calories
23:00
guesstimated
23:02
well I burn off
23:04
a couple hundred calories
23:06
maybe
23:15
around this tree these Gates say
23:17
also
23:19
blinking speed limit sign here
23:55
all Illuminating got the sun setting
23:57
at the celebration theater spiers a lot
23:59
of the letters are
24:01
not working
24:10

24:12

24:14
