The Chipotle Diet

So after the soul-searching I've done over the past 4 months, I've decided to use this time spent without a job to fix everything I hated about myself. And believe me, for as self-loathing a person as myself, that's no small feat. So far I've written a blog detailing all the significant moments of my life so that I could no longer bullshit people about my past, and gotten rid of 70-80% of my possessions that I don't use anymore. I also cleaned my room. So next on the list is fixing my body.

There was a stretch of about a month where I ate McDonalds every day. That's not particularly healthy. Not only that, right now, I am skinny-fat - I don't have a lot of muscle, so my body weight is low, but I still have a gut. So in an effort to fix that, I invented a diet for myself. I call it the Chipotle Diet (copyright 2011).

Basically, you get a Burrito Bowl, and put whatever you want in it. Mine have chicken, rice, black beans, corn, lettuce, pico de gallo, and guacamole. No drink. So that comes to about 1000 calories. And that's all you get for the entire day. I divide mine into fourths and refrigerate the remaining parts, and eat it over the course of about 12 hours.

1000 calories is a little low, so I usually put some cottage cheese over the top and drink a glass of V8 Juice with every other serving.

The brilliance of the diet is that it's ridiculously easy - there's no preparation involved at all. And despite making use of fast food, you get beans, vegetables, lean meat, and omega 3/6 and amino acids from the avocado.

Selling a crapload of games.

I am selling a crapload of games. Here are the games, the condition, and a suggested price. Notes:

1) Each price was generated by going to ebay, finding the lowest used game price, and then subtracting 20%, rounding down because I am a lazy man. I did this for new games, too, so those should be quite a bargain.
2) I am open to negotiation, but this should take the form of convincing me what factors I have not priced in, rather than telling me why you don't feel like paying that much.

The games and controllers are all used, but they still work. If a game is unplayable or controller unusable, I will refund your money no questions asked.
