Thanks madmuppet.

My food so far today:

Breakfast: 1 oz ham, 2 scrambled eggs, .50 pita, 1 oz cheese and a pear.

Dinner:Tacos, 2 tortillas, 6 oz seasoned ground beef, 1 oz grated cheese, .50 tomato cubed, .25 cup of onion, spinach, 7 olives and a apple. I used Franks hot sauce on the tacos, yum, yum.
The tacos were good, I might just make them a staple and have them a few times a week.

Supper: 5 oz of ham, collard green's and bacon. 1 cup of strawberries.

1 cup of milk for tea and coffee.

Exercise: Walking Roxy and kettlebell training.

Howdy Paul - another good week, well done on the loss.

How are you enjoying Red? Some love it, some hate it. I enjoy it but have to revert to a green about every 3 days to have some pasta and get my carb hit!

 

[tech1960ps]

I like both, red for meat and green for potatoes.

Todays food so far,

Breakfast: Half a pita, eggs, turkey bacon and plums.


My workout today was kettlebell training and walking Roxy.

Well done Paul! Still heading downwards.

Just realised I didn't respond to this. You do know that you can have some spuds on a Red day? Only a smallish portion of either a jacket (227g incl skin)or new spuds with skin (198g), but better than now't! That's my carb saviour on a red day!

Here's what I use to finish my workout. It's a tabata, two handed kettlebell swing for 20 seconds,10 seconds rest. Squat jumps for 20 seconds, 10 seconds rest. This is repeated for 8 passes.
My fitness level has gone through the roof since I started the above.

More weight off Paul?..doing good! Keep at it lovey

Kids are more resiliant than we think, mine were 13, 14 and 16 when my first marriage broke up...and they coped well with a lot of love and understanding and explanations and reassurance too!!!! Good luck for the future Paul..it really does get better!

I hope your night shifts don't upset your eating habits too much, have a good day!

 

[FatFairNForty(ish)]

I'm sure I burn off at least 1k calories just by reading your exercise regime! lol Well done on persevering!!

There are lots of people on here who do nights - especially nurses. They all seem to do it by taking everything with them that they need to eat - meals, snacks, drinks - everything. Otherwise they get tempted by restaurant junk food or the cakes/chocolates grateful patients give them.

Been missing your food posts.
