Ha! So we went to a lovely multi-level marketing opportunity/presentation last night that was thinly disguised as talk on optimizing nutrition by upping veggies and fruit consumption. I've been reading up on the use of dehydrated powdered veggies and super fruits/berries to try to see if that would be an easy way to up consumption of v/f. Turns out it was a 2 hour pitch for Juice+ Vitamins made from veggies/fruits. By the end of it I wanted to shout, "Set my people free!!!!" Or at least shout, "Spartacus!!!" Or something. The product may have merit--will just have to study it better and see, but still--sheesh! I used that to leverage a bid to go to our little cheap Italian place again cuz this time, I felt like sinning. So I did. And I did sin too. Thankfully no pictures exist, but it was enough that I had to come home and fight being sick as a result. I will just tell you there was homemade bread with olive oil, parmesan, garlic, caper and roasted red pepper dipping oil and wine involved. Those were the sinners at the party. There was also 1/2 small Greek salad loaded with feta and olives, and there was one bite of chicken and one bite of grilled broccoli with garlic. Those were the saints in attendance. Oy veh. Will I ever learn? The bread and oil tasted so great going down and sat like a bomb within 30 minutes making me want to turn green and die. I'm not gonna post pics from yesterday cuz breakfast was a repeat of the day before and you already saw what that looked like. But I did add a squirt of SF Hershey's Choco Syrup to it and it tasted really good! Yum! Then lunch ended up being a couple ounces of leftover grilled chickie + the leftover 1/4 of the Egg Foo Young from earlier in the week (you already saw a pic of that too. LOL.) So alls you get is my mea culpa crap food log from yesterday. It's a sobering site and makes me want to go walk an hour at my top speed! (click to enlarge)

Holy hell is that you? 😳 Cuz if I looked like that I'd wear it every day and every where!! Write back so I know whether to compliment u or the swimsuit model! LOL!!

Has anyone heard from the Colonoscopy Queen today? Do we know how it went?

Maybe? LOL. But I'm thinking this might be a case where Refrigerator Roulette wins. It hasn't happened in a while.

I thought I should relate this especially to Tea: My yogurt smelled a little dicey this afternoon, but I figured, "Meh, I'll give it a gamble." (You know, cuz I thought of you throwing out your good yogurt due to the expi date being past its prime.) Well, that might not have been the smartest decision I've ever made. I'm not feeling so fresh and lively right now.

Gosh I this thread! You guys are crackin' me up!!! LOVE the keys and Starbuck's on the bright shiny red plates! Hilarious! I also heart smoked gouda and turkey jerky or jerky of any kind!

Bahahahaha! Is that a tortilla chip (singular) on your lovely poppy plates? And what's in the first pic? And I love all of your piccys! I also think we should encourage Matt to compile all of his goodies into one daily food pic!

This actually does happen. I'm just now eating my first meal--PB&J "yogurt" with SF Hershey's chocolate syrup. ROFLMAO! Yep yep, better living through chemistry. I have a salmon salad planned for lunch and I'm like, "Fork! I don't wanna go make it, I don't wanna eat it...maybe when I get hungry later, I'll just go grab a couple of ounces of leftover salmon and call it done."

IKR! My RD was so upset at our last meeting that I'm still between 500-750 calories per day. She wants me up around 1200. And I'm like, in what universe? I eat all of these meals and seriously don't even want to think about food between them--for the most part. Some days I have these munchie days where I only want munchie stuff and that's when I could literally graze all day. But like yesterday, I really only fixed lunch cuz I was trying to meet protein goals. So when I showed her pics of my plates and told her how concerned I was about how much I could eat at a meal, she relaxed and said I was doing fine. LOL. Weird. Huh?

Gravity?

Bahahahahaha! Oh the stories they "could" and actually "do" tell each other! Hilarious!

Why does this emoji make me feel like I'm being perved on? (It's like hey, whydoncha come up and see me sometime? )

Ok, yesterdays's DD=500 cals. First meal was around 12:30ish. Last meal was 8:30pm. Lifetime member of the Clean Plate Club. CPC fork you!

IKR? *snort* I had to rein myself in not to react in my usual puerile manner when @abefroman329 the sausage king announced his successful sleep study "with being down to 13 arousals" and I was all like, "Hmmm from your perspective I wouldn't think that wouldn't be a bad thing." But I'm happy to report I was able to resist my punny perve juvenile self to respond appropriately!

Hahaha! Sorry I missed this! I just stir everything except the blueberries and the WF syrup together with a spoon. Then I add the frozen berries and drizzle the syrup over it. I'm hoping to post yesterdays pics of it.

For lunch it's pretty easy choice: turkey rollup with veggies, salads with protein, green soup. I eat the same things for breakfast and lunch cuz it's just easier and plus I am very satisfied by these items. Here are some of my favorite breakfasts: Avocado "Toast" Bean/Egg/Cheese Breakfast Taco Egg White Delite Nuked Breakfast Sandwich PB&J Yogurt Egg White Puff with or without cheese

I just buy my store brand (HEB) Carb Sense. I think they are probably the same thing as the Mission Carb Balance. I like both the white and whole wheat. Don't know exact counts, but think they are 3g net carbs for a whole one that is about 5inches diameter?

55. It took me that long to grow the balls required to make the decision to change my relationship with food and to live rather than being RTD (ready to die). It for sure took 2 years of constant badgering by my onc to convince me. I was all like, "Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers!"

There are? Inquiring minds?!

Congrats! That's outstanding!

Thanks so much!! Yeah it sucks getting up so early. I usually get up between 4 and 5:30 to start the day. And I'm generally fine until 11:30 (14hour fast) with just black coffee--although, I miss my PP "creamer" in my coffee hellerbad. LOL. Do you protein bars/snack fill you up? And about when do you stop eating at night? LOL. 20 Questions. Thanks for playing! Oh and one more--are you animal, vegetable, or mineral? bahahahahahaaha

Thanks! So basically, as Tea and silly do, you eat when you're hungry? You've seen my pics of food here, I'm assuming? On your meals, do you eat less than I do? I can finish most of those meals. I would really like to get back to being satisfied by smaller quantities and I don't quite know how to accomplish that since I refuse to do only protein drinks for 2-3 days. LOL.

You look amazing Mike! So healthy and happy!!! Wooot!!!

Wahooooo! Congrats Matt! Hey I know you don't track stuff, but is there any chance you could share an average day of eating this past week? I'm still trying to figure out where I am giong to land on the whole IF stuff. And I'm tending towards @Green Tealael's and/or @sillykitty methods rather than the gyrations from my JUDDDD stuff. I'm already exhausted by it. LOL. So I'd love to see how you're doing it for inspiration as well?! Thanks!

Can I just tell you all that I didn't get around to breakfast until 12:30pm and when I did, I re-fell in love with it all over again? I haven't made this in a LONG time. I can't have just a bowl of Greek yogurt cuz it pushes my insulin too high. So I make my own "yogurt" out of mixing Greek yogurt with 2% Daisy cottage cheese + 1oz of PP vanilla protein. I will usually add about 4 drops of liquid Stevia to it. This morning (hehe, er noon) I remembered about my old PB & J concoction using Walden Farms Blueberry Syrup and HEB organic frozen blueberries and Vitacost Peanut Butter Slim peanut butter powder. Jasus, Mary, and Joseph! Hold me. It made a 4oz ramekin full and I sucked it down in less than 10 minutes. But it was so dang delicious!! You should all run out and buy the ingredients. It was def a "better living through chemistry" moment I thought I needed to share! *snort*
