Serena, great category additions! Perhaps I need a new quiz update one of these days. Thanks!

What about Quality Freaks? Or Thrifty Freaks? Or Baby Freaks?
For Question 1, I guess a Quality Freak might order a wild salmon steak and a bottle of some fancy wine, maybe a pistachio mousse. A TF would be unable to understand the concept of getting the full burger meal, especially since she might not be able to finish it and that would be a waste, so she would get grilled cheese and a glass of milk. A la carte. The BF would want Cap'n Crunch with brown sugar sunk to the bottom, a large fruit punch, and some gum that looks like a radio or something.

Hi Katherine!
Well, you're probably being way smarter than I am to be concerned about food sanitation. Some day my sloppy lackadaisical hygiene practices will probably put me in the hospital.

And mmm... cherry pie. That isn't a health food? Rats.

Thanks for stopping by!

I am such a germ freak. Working in restaurants, you see all sorts of scary stuff (your meal may have been dropped, for instance), but a restaurant kitchen is still cleaner than some of the cleanest home kitchens. Dropping a cookie on the floor the cat sleeps on automatically disqualifies it from snack material. I'm terrified of eating red meat cooked to a temperature lower than medium-well.

Then again, my favorite foods include cherry pie and carrots, the two extreme ends of the health spectrum. I eat what tastes good and isn't likely to kill or sicken me. Excess sugar scares me, though, like in soda.

2007-08-06T22:33:00.000-04:00

Hi In-Between,
I totally agree. That "k" shouldn't be in there, or something. It looks wrong. However, my spell check thinks its cool, so who am I to argue?

2007-08-06T19:41:00.000-04:00

Is that the right way to spell lackadaisical? It looks weird. I looked at it too long.

2007-07-28T10:07:00.000-04:00

Hi Angel,
I have the same problem with the cupcakes, but can't bear to get rid of them. Suppose it should be some healthy picture like fruit or people running or something but... well screw that. For me, that's real life--I always want the cupcakes more than the blueberries!

2007-07-28T03:14:00.000-04:00

Ok, first off, your banner makes me drool on my keyboard *every single time*. (Chanting "1 week until I can have chocolate again")

I am Freakishly Lackadaisical for the most part, though I did answer 1 "crunchy freak" and 1 "sanitation freak".

IRL, I'm more crunchy freak but fun quiz ;)

2007-07-18T19:53:00.000-04:00

Geosomin, that's too funny. You may WORK in a lab but you certainly do not come from it in a way that makes you either artificial or deadly.

I waver on the artificial/natural, but hearing that people like you who actually know what the stuff in our food is like to avoid it makes me want to do more of that too!

2007-07-18T16:49:00.000-04:00

"if it comes from a lab, it's deadly"....
*sniff*
But I'm very nice...:)
I'm a bit lacksadaisical...my biggest problem. I'm healthy, but I can be led into yummy unhealth very easily. I likes food tto much :) I am a bit nutty on the artificial food ingredients though. I'm finding myself making stuff from scratch with organic things more and more...perhaps my inner hippie is coming up. I just know what all the 20 syllable things are in most foods after looking them up and I definitely don't want to eat them.

2007-07-17T09:43:00.000-04:00

Hi Lauren!
Hooray, you forgive me! Yes, now I actually remember seeing your name before, (breast feeding maybe? before the scary weird people found it?) and thinking "nice sensible person, hope she returns!" I'm one of those people who's good with neither names nor faces. (Sometimes the wackier user names stick out a bit more too, and you have a nice normal one.)

Thanks so much for returning!

2007-07-17T09:28:00.000-04:00

Hi Crabby!
I HAVE posted comments before, but only a few. I read your blog all the time (read: I check it multiple times a day, and read all the comments)! So I am far from offended that you can't remember whether we've "met" before or not! I was hooked the first time I read your blog, and rest assured I will continue to throw in my input in the way of the occasional comment... when you least expect it! Keeps you on your toes, eh? ;)

2007-07-17T09:20:00.000-04:00

Hi Cindy,
Whoops, I forgot Low Carb Freak! There was really no place for the low-carbers to go on that quiz. Ah well, I'm learning a lot. Most amazingly, that people can not resist taking quizzes, even terribly designed jokey ones!

Hi Appleton!
All of the questions should have come with none of the above--but then there'd have to be some boring "normal" category, and no one gets to be normal here at Cranky Fitness. (I'd put you, in real life if not on the quiz, as a Crunch but perhaps I'm wrong on that). Thanks for playing!

Hi Meg,
Picky Freaks! Another fine category I forgot. Some of my best friends are Picky Freaks. I think the main reason it's hard to diet or eat healthy as a Picky Freak is that grocery stores and restaurants are already so bad about having so few healthy foods--if you have an aversion to a lot of them, then you need a really huge selection to find something healthy but not nasty! So I hope you can find at least a few things you can stand in all the categories you need to hit for healthy eating. (And I can see how a Picky Freak could get mislabeled a Diet freak--the category with the least actual food in it!) Thanks for stopping by.

Sarah, welcome!
Thank you so much. I LOVE new readers and hope I don't scare you off too soon. Some days I'm just really damn boring and there's nothing to be done about it but hope the next day is better. (Or hunt around in the archives.) Thanks so much for saying hello!

New reader alert! You are hilarious and I got hooked after reading the 10 newbie rules of the gym (since I just started going regularly two weeks ago and still going strong woo!) Love the blog!

I'm combination, but leaning towards freakisly lackdaisical.

2007-07-17T05:14:00.000-04:00

Well, I ended up a diet freak but I really suck at deiting even when I do try. It's just I actually do have some healthy eating habits (like not eating much meat and not ever drinking soda) So I think I'd say I'm a "freakishly picky eater" more than anything. There are very few things I eat, usually not because of calorie count but largely because I just don't like those foods. (Or they have some form of dairy when I'm lactose intolerant). So spoiled brat might work too... Regardless, diet freak is pretty much wrong. Even if I did get like 3 and a half B's...

2007-07-16T22:46:00.000-04:00

For #3, diet soft drinks, the answer is None of the above. Any kind of soft drink, yuk, it's all just liquid sugar. Suck on some water instead. Fine, call me Cranky Appleton. But I lighten up for dark chocolate...

2007-07-16T21:12:00.000-04:00

1. Probably one of my favorite places to go for a chicken (or Shrimp!) Caesar salad. Hold the croûtons, full fat dressing!! so that would be b....kinda

2. None of the above. I'd have a shake, or some nuts that I have stashed in my office. If I didn't have anything, I'd take the sandwich and eat the meat and cheese.

3. none of the above. I have trouble burping....not good with carbonation!

4. Definitely A....but I'll pass on the smores!

5. could only be d...otherwise I'd taste it and choke it down!

I'm a freak...combo freak? or just a freak! LOL

Funny thing was, for almost every answer I could think of at least 1 person who it fit!

2007-07-16T21:10:00.000-04:00

Dawn, thank you!
But it is I who want your autograph, you Number 2 New Zealand Best-Seller you. Go Ripples on the Lake!

Noah,
Wow, that's impressive, because after a long flight with cranky passengers the last thing I'd feel like would be hitting the grocery store--good for you!

2007-07-16T21:03:00.000-04:00

Yup, I'm a flight attendant. I've learned I have to bring healthy food with me, at least for the first day of the trip, then I can hit the nearest grocery store and restock. I think I ate McDonalds everyday my first year working for the airline, and it showed. Thankfully I've moved to an international base, and don't have to do the 16 hour domestic days anymore. Now it's one leg and a long layover at the hotel.

Crabby, Crabby (gasp - Dawn races into blog, feathers flying in all directions) you're got 18 votes over at www.sk-rt.com/! Still on the front page. Can I have your autograph, Crabby?

2007-07-16T18:10:00.000-04:00

Katieo,
Thanks all to you and your initial promotional efforts, yes, it has somehow made its way to the front page! And I had to peek at statcounter, and indeed it is starting to bring a few folks over. Hooray for Sk*rt! (Funny, in real life I pretty much never wear a skirt, but I'm happy to welcome any skirtsters!

(Oh, I'm mostly lackadaisical on the quiz, but it real life I'm a Crunchy-Diet-Lackadaisacal. The only one I'm not is Sanitary, which is why one should always wash one's hands after visiting Cranky Fitness)

And Hi Dawn!
I, like you, belong to Freakishly Exclamatory category of blogger!

I usually have to hit preview just to remember to delete the exclamation points I've inevitably put after every sentence and replace half of them with periods. When not on the blog, I'm not a very perky person prone to exclaim things--it's some sort of weird blog artifact. Glad I'm not the only one! Er... one.

And hi Dr. J,

2007-07-16T18:01:00.000-04:00

That was a very creative quiz! I always like when I can learn more about the subject from taking the test. Oh..the test..I took the road less traveled, I'm an 'E'.

2007-07-16T16:32:00.000-04:00

I'm not sure what sk-rt is but well done on making it's front page, Crabby! I'm assuming, here, it's nothing too sordid! I shall check it out to ensure it's suitable for an impressionable young crab!

I am - as I bet you guessed - Freakishly Lackadaisical"!

Glad to see that wee break refreshed you so that you returned raring to tweak a few tail feathers!

(I've surpassed myself - exclamation mark for every sentence!)
