Food

I'd like to think that over the last half year or so I've developed healthier eating habits. The lunches have gotten smaller, the trips to the pizza place across the street have become less frequent, and I've started eating much more veggies and fruits.
All adult and grown-up like.
I've even started going to the gym several times a week over the last few months. While I'm far from what people might consider a health freak, the gym visits have become a bit of a habit, and I've started feeling much better.
I know this might be too much information, but tonight at the gym, I killed off 470 calories (basically my lunch) on the elliptical machine thing. Yay Mike, right?
Not quite. This evening, I had an urge for Burger King, where I got a chicken sandwich and large french fries. Out of curiousity (and arguably, sheer stupidity), I checked out the nutrition board for what I just ate. I was under no illusion that what I had was in any way healthy, and that was proven to me. 510 calories for the sandwich, and 500 for the large fries. (I'm not even going to get into the fat content.)
Dude. Ouch. It wasn't even that good.
I feel something approaching guilt!
