Thanks Katt!

Yeah, doing my best to eat clean, which means cooking it myself. Grilled up a batch of chicken yesterday since it was nice. Will probably throw down on some gumbo tomorrow. (Not all that clean, but better than going out. )

Also had friends over for dinner. did a pork roast (brined, so nice and juicy) with a cranberry sauce glaze, ginger glazed carrots and 2x baked potatoes. Again, not all that clean, but planned to be "controlled" I guess. Dessert was a parfait made with FF SF pudding and FF cool whip. The wife complained about the SF ingredients at first, but nary a word once she started eating. I think the cool whip balances out the aspartame aftertaste. Overall, a pretty good meal.

I go with Alton Brown (as I do for many other recipes). Check it out. It's great.

Made a Flemish stew tonight (kinda Belgian, but not really). Good stuff. Plus it is getting cold and windy. Stew weather.
Happy new year, all!

Scotland? I'm not sure my Irish heritage will allow me to accept, but thanks!

BTW, ever heard the joke about the Irishman and the Scot in the bathroom together? The Irishman zips up and starts to leave. The Scot calls out "You know, in Scotland, we teach our children to wash their hands after they urinate!" The Irishman replies "Well, in Ireland, we teach our children not to urinate on their hands!"

Yeah, left you a note about it as well. I was mostly watching Mizzou pummel Arkansas, but saw all of the 3rd and OT/SO.

Getting the new year off to the right start. Diet was clean today: frittata this morning (which is basically a crustless egg pie...eggs, smoked turkey sausage, LF cheese, peppers, mushrooms), turkey soup for lunch, gumbo for dinner. Just finished 40 min on the bike, now hitting some SF jello to finish it off. Good start!

Scale reading for the new year (and the benchmark going forward) is 278. That puts me down 7 from a week or two ago, which is good. I'm sure some of that is when/how much I had eaten the day before, but not all. As always, getting a few days of clean eating and cardio has me on the right track. Now just need to maintain.

Yup, rolling along. Leftover frittata for breakfast, salads for lunch and dinner. Good times.

There really isn't a recipe for mine. I chop us some green stuff (asparagus and spinach usually), some red or yellow peppers, some meat (smoked turkey sausage is nice) and mushrooms. I give them a little saute in very little olive oil, then pour on a container of egg beaters (or 8 or so eggs whipped with a little milk for volume). Throw on the stove and cook a little while stirring, just until the bottom starts to get solid. Then throw under the broiler. Keep an eye on it until it firms up, then pull out and let rest for 10 min or so (to make sure the inside finishes cooking). Done.

I use a 10" non stick pan, so it makes 6 good sized servings.

Good ending. 40+ minutes on the bike, SF lemon jello. I may have a new favorite flavor.

I enjoy Sugar Free Jello, but solely because it's calorie and pretty much everything free.

I like it. I actually like the snac packs more. The texture is a little more firm (so you don't have to keep it in the fridge).

Eggs for breakfast, sushi for lunch. I really like having the frittata in the fridge, since it makes breakfast very fast and easy. I think I'll make up another one tonight just for leftovers.

No cardio tonight, doing some job search stuff. Diet was ok. Had a few drinks after work and a little bar food, but it was VERY little. Not bad overall.

Intake has been up a bit today. I take the boy to Einstein Bagels every Friday. I usually go with the powerbagel, which I now know is 750 cals. Instead, went with a pumpernickel bagel w/ LF cream cheese.

Went out to lunch with folks to a seafood place that was pretty nice. Went with a tomato mozzarella salad and steamed mussels. Good times, but clearly demands I hit the bike tonight.
