Breakfast: Ore-Ida Bowl

Lunch: Not Yet

Over43

Yesterday, after lunch, was great.

Today, an Ore-Ida egg bowl w/ 3 eggs (instead of one.)

I went to the Super Walmart and picked up enough food, for work, that includes today and tomorrow.

I am going to start exercising again next week.

The last few days have been highlighted by a lack of paying attention to what I have been stuffing in my pie hole. As my mother would say to me: Shame on you. I plan on my Super Slow workout this afternoon. Oh, I forgot. I spent an hour this morning digging my Mini Cooper out of the snow. That shoul...

Good points. I like the three meals a day. Of course that has been suggested before (obviously). And, even when you go back and read "diet" books from the 70's and 80's, the likes of Kenneth Cooper and Ellington Darden (The Nautilus Diet) recommend three plates of food a day, no snacking (etc.). Wha...

I did not know they had those either. The hydrocodone worked its way through my system pretty quick. Surgery at my age is not an option.

This week, so far, has not been great. My weight has snuck up a bit. Yesterday was the worst day so far. But, I went to my "Massive Health" class last night. As much as I have made sport of it, last night I realized instead of being a schmuck, I should at least be serious, and listen and learn about...

01.28.2020 Well, last weekend was a blister of food galore. Pizza, lasagna, fudge...Yesterday, would have been green, but I remember now having two small pieces of pumpkin cake with lunch.

Well, Thursday was a train wreck. I think the less substantial dinner I ate Wednesday, and the small breakfast I ate yesterday morning turned me into an eating machine. This morning I have taken in a plate of food, but added more calories. I had two eggs on an English muffin, yogurt with berries and...

Jan 23, 2020 I did not realize it has been a week since I have logged in. I am still at 3 meals a day. In the AM I do have a coffee with cream and sugar.

The irony of the article, while reading it, had an ad for the Whole 30 Diet playing at the top of the page. Plus they have their 3 S's. The only S I can remember is "sustainable" which is the most overused word (next to "outraged") in the English language right now.

Hi Both and all readers, I hope everyone is well. I send you peace, health and happiness. I have a question!

Super Slow is a weight protocol developed by Ken Hutchins in the 1980's during a Nautilus funded study. Basically, you take approximately 50% of your max weight in an exercise and lift it 10 seconds up, 10 seconds down. You increase the weight when you can move it for a positive rep up to 120 to 160...
