Welcome to my life... my wife is a vegetarian... and she is concerned about my health, so I eat lots of veggies too, not a fan of them at all... :(

I don't really have much food right now. I haven't been actually grocery shopping since the beginning of march. The amount of food I buy is limited to what I can carry on my bike, and the last time I went shopping was the beginning of the month.

I have raman, soup, and a frozen pizza. The few other things I have take ingredients I DON'T have. Then again, there's always pb&j.

I'm doing. I don't feel any different, but I'm still alive so that's good. :)

I go back to my doctor next week for more blood tests. My iron pills are almost all gone so it's time to see if they helped any.

Haha... nah... I guess the veggies are helping me healthwise, but they do taste yucky...

Bacon is meat Cats. Bacon drippings is the blood of meat.

Okay, that made more sense in my head. :(

Unky and alty-cat are hiding under my console. I think they're plotting something. Should I be worried?

Garlic yes... wife won't mind me having that... but the only meat I'm really allowed is Chicken... and once a fortnight I have beef, either stir-fry or a steak... which isn't too bad...

I cook every thing in garlic. MmMm

I am just sick of salad. But it'll be worth it when I loose those 10 pounds!

I love spinach salad. That's what I need to get when I go grocery shopping again. Fresh produce.

It must have lost something in the translation.

I started this new diet. My sister has been on and has lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks.

Protein and very low carbs... ( like atkins diet) breakfast and lunch

Then you get a "rewards meal" you can have no protein 1 hour before this meal or 1 hour after and it should be the same time everyday.

Rewards meal is anything you want within one hour but it needs to be balanced... protein, fats, carbs and yes it includes sweets too. I've lost three pounds in 2 weeks. It is easy for me to do. I don't think about food all the time now.

Will it really work? I have no clue but it is worth a try.

Thought I'd share. :)

Sounds good. If it works post the recipes you used. I'd love to lose a bit of weight. :)

I joined weight watchers.

Doesn't seem too bad.

That's one reason why I agreed to my wife's diet plan for me... I want to lose weight, but she doesn't think I have to... weird...

I made grits once Cats, not sure if it was the right consistency or not. Do you use corn meal or corn flour?

I've never had grits. Just the word sounds icky. ;)

It was pretty good. It was a cajun recipie I think. It was grits with cheese, sautéd bacon and shrimp.

Cat,

Make your grits and omelette your rewards meal..

Bella,
Hope weight watcher's works for you... it did for a friend of mine who has 4 kids and she wears a bikini and looks GREAT. Sickening actually..

Alty,
I will let you knowif it works.. :)

AND
Blackvy,

Your wife loves you just the way you are... ( just like billy Joe's song... awwwww :) )

Thanks Classy! I hope yours works for you too. Ill let you know how WW goes if you let me know how yours goes!

OK all older people... stop the worry about eating:rolleyes: We need to worry about exercise:eek:
Like how do you get your upper back back to muscle? I am constantly working with my upper body, but it has still gone downhill and really pissing me off.

Who you calling older? :p

Bella,

HA HA HA... I think she may mean ME.

I am doing Jazzersize... does that count?

I'm so sorry:) In my little pea brain everybody is my age and suffering the same problems as me:D

I eat what I want and do fine. Then again, I ride a bike everywhere I go. 4 miles everyday just to get to and from work. 6 to get to and from walmart.

And I quote from "Mel's Diner", Mel!, Kiss my Grits!

Now does it really sound icky? hmm?

Alty, you can pay double and call them polenta if you want to.

Bella, use the coarsest ground cornmeal you can find. Shrimp and grits originated around your area, the Acadians brought it to Louisiana.

Okay so I just got back from work 4 hours ago... ugh so not sleepy. I keep rolling around and nothing.. I think I need to get me a prescription for some sleep :)

Since I'm up... how's it hangin'?

A little to the left,thanks:D

You don't have to bother getting a prescription for a sleeping aid. There are plenty of safe natural remedies sold over the counter nowadays which give you almost five hours of good sleep without waking up groggy.
