Chipotle Diet
So it dawned on me the other day as I was glancing at my blog that I never left you all with any closure on the Chipotle Diet. I'm sure the first thing that ran through your mind was....."he probably gained it all back and is afraid to post anything else" or "he probably developed some poor health condition for eating the same thing for an entire year." Well nothing could be further from the truth. As you may recall....the last time I blogged, I was tired of "maintaining" so I wanted to shake things...

A lot of people have wondered if I have fallen off the face of the earth. Well I have. Damn that Columbus and all that 'world is round' talk. Actually, I just have been really busy between work, school, and two little girls. As it turns out, finding out the world is flat isn't the only discovery I have made. Somebody forgot to tell me that children are logarithmic. By that I mean, messes, crying, and toys to name a few, do not double, they increase exponentially. However, despite all the recent changes,...

Over 7 continuous months I have consumed my beloved chicken fajita with medium corn salsa, two scoops of the hot stuff, and cheese (aka ‘the Justin’) at a minimum rate of 5 times a week. Do the math people. 155 burritos. I just so happen to know that my burrito costs $6.30 after tax. That is $976.50. Almost $1000 spent on burritos. This is not including the gas expenses incurred on my 40-minute round trip drive from Chipotle and back. In summary: I’m a fan. However, the giving hasn’t all been on...

No, your eyes are not deceiving you. That is a cup lid. So simple, yet such a vital part of the Chipotle Diet. Over 6 months I have been a user, and I didn’t realize I had become so dependent on such a product. It is second nature for me, but every time I visit the restaurant I require one of these for my water cup. And luckily for me, there are several in existence at each and every Chipotle, stacked up one on top of another as shown above. That is where the problem started. Since I am an avid lid...

The wonderful employees at Chipotle have incorporated one of the greatest employee perks I could think of. Bring your dog to work. What better way to enjoy work than to have your best friend escort you on your way to the copy machine or lay by your feet as you type your latest memo (Check it out at http://www.chipotle.com)? Similar to Chipotle, I also like to include my best dog in my everyday activities. That is why I decided to incorporate my right-hand dog, Bogey. As it turns out, before starting...

Yesterday around 4AM, my wife decided to wake me up to tell me that it was time to have our daughter. My first reaction was to throw her the car keys and tell her that I would meet her there after a few more hours of beauty sleep. However, I realized that this day marked the last day of a long stretch of emotional outbursts, spur of the moment crying during certain commercials, and massive stops for bathroom breaks anytime we went anywhere. We arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later. Our first daughter...

Ryan R. Wood recently responded to my blog with “I’m going to go on a Chipotle diet, except I’m going for a different goal. I want to gain weight…” Ever since I've been on this diet, I've been constantly told of better ways to lose weight. These tips usually come from fellow 'sticks' such as Ryan Wood. Don’t believe me? Check out the following blogs and their corresponding posts: http://www.diet-blog.com/ar... http://www.figurefriendlycl...

Automated Burrito [aw-tuh-meyt-ed buh-ree-toh] – The ability to walk through the line at Chipotle without saying a word, from the start of the tortilla to checkout, and having your burrito made to your satisfaction. Being an automated test engineer, you shoot for repeatability and reproducibility. I strive for nothing less in my personal life. When I started my diet, never was it my goal to be able to walk in and have my burrito be made without having to say a word. However, I noticed that by me...

This morning was another milestone for the Chipotle Diet guys. Eric Foster (www.chipotless.com) today surpassed the 30-pound mark on his way to a 31-pound weight loss. Did I mention he did this by eating Chipotle burrito bols twice a day without exercise? Congrats to Eric for his achievement. I on the other hand finally hit a 50-pound weight loss. This is fitting since last week marked the 90th official burrito of the Chipotle diet. It has been a long 18-week journey, but the results speak for themselves....

So I came across the holy grail of Chipotle burritos the other day and boy was I jealous. First of all, who else thinks its ironic that some of the most fit athletes get access to unlimited burritos. Seriously, I bet this thing gets used 5 times. I did some research and found out that Chipotle sponsors a professional bicycle racing team called, Slipstream. I guess the perk to being sponsored is this annual membership to Chipotle. Needless to say...I want one!!! This pass just happens to belong to...

On June 18th, 2007 I set forth on a journey to no longer become the fat kid. My goal was to lose weight, minimize hunger pains, and minimize exercise. Sound to good to be true? Well it was a lot easier thanks to Chipotle. Background Info: For over the past 2 years, every Thursday a group of 8-10 of my co-workers would make the 15 minute trek to our local Chipotle restaurant. It became creatively named 'Chipotle Thursday.' As any business people know, your first office job is comparable to your freshmen...
