Did a 5am workout today. Down 3 lbs from last week. Saturday meal: super nachos with chili verde, 3 guiness, 1 vodka redbull, 3 draft pints of 805.
Today’s breakfast: 4 jimmy dean sausage biscuits, 1 banana, 32 oz coffee.
(This post is accurate, but is mainly intended as a humorous contrast to Keeed.)
It’s called a wet burrito with mole sauce. I generally prefer dry but was feeling like wet today.
I prefer wet. That looks like it could be from any of a thousand places, so doesn’t mean much, but looks exactly like El Tarasco - I think even the plate.
The El Burrito Jr. in Redondo is quite popular. It often has a long line. I’ve never been. Suzzer probably has. He used to live a few blocks away from it. I assume you went to the one in seal beach.
The burrito is pretty standard for a solid Mexican place, but the carnitas super nachos are very good. This is from Seal Beach.
I have those same plates!
Ha, my neighbor’s mom gave them to me when I moved in.
180.8 lbs this morning. 1,075 calories yesterday. Feeling kind of low energy today. Think I’ve been coming down with a cold the last few days.
Another 5am workout. My heart rate monitor says I burned 950 cals. Not sure what my sleeping schedule is. Yesterday slept from like 11am to 2pm, 5pm to 6pm, and 9 pm to 1:30 am this morning. Hoping for like 7pm to 2am today.
2am breakfast was banana, coffee, and a glass of OJ. Had a cranberry juice about 15 mins ago. Have errands and plan to hit Costco for pies for Thanksgiving. Will probably buy some semi healthy bulk food, and some less healthy bulk food.
One of the many good things about working out is that you eat better because you are focused on the calories you burn and the effort involved. Also, rarely hungry for that first hour after the gym.
Sorry to semi-hijack your thread Keeed, but I’m doing a similar but rather different health/weight thing and it’s semi interesting contrast and not sure I want to start my own thread.
Again, my current goal is mainly fitness with some weight loss. I want to focus on good overall fitness for the next month and a bit more on weight loss come January or February.
My secondary goal is to be able to body surf competently from my residence at the beach by around April, which means being in good fitness and not overly rotund.
Doesn’t matter to me, people can post what they like.
Time for a midpoint pic?
I got the same thing. It’s really weird and mild but persistently miserable at the same time. It’s also coming with a bit of stomach symptoms for me. One of the weirder things I’ve had in a while.
180.2 lbs this morning. 971 calories yesterday, 200 from salmon, the rest from potatoes. Going to cheat tomorrow. Then its three weeks till the weigh in. I’ll try to get a picture tonight and post it here.
Got a guy I know at work to try the potato diet. He’s a type 2 diabetic, 6’2", 330 lbs. Had to have his two big toes amputated and since then has had persistent foot ulcers. He’s been doing it since Thursday. Well, except for the three donuts he ate Friday morning. He weighed in this morning at 317 lbs. He’s going to do thanksgiving tomorrow and says he’ll get back on it afterwards. He says he’s going to do the potatoes during the week and take the weekends off. I’m sure that will be way better than his current dietary arrangement but I’ve been trying to get him to do a more sustainable program. Basically a whole food diet all the time.
Can the potato army win against (can’t remember who) the sardine army?
My Dad had diabetes and I think at least he thought potatoes were not on the approved list of foods - at least in large amounts. Too many carbs → carbs turn to sugar → sugar in the blood → problem for diabetics.
Diabetic dude should probably talk to his doctor about this - and about his 3 donut breakfasts. Jeebus. I may have eaten 3 donuts at one time as a teenager, but not since.
He did talk to his doctor about it. Or one of them anyway. He’s got a whole team. He was like it’s not like you’re adhering to a recommended diet anyway, this sounds better than what you’re eating right now so go for it. He’s eating like 1000 calories a day so in absolute terms his carb intake probably isn’t all that much higher than when he was eating “normally”. Might be lower actually.
And I think that type 2 diabetes is at its heart a disease of chronic food energy surplus. Insulin resistance is actually a beneficial adaptation to the surplus. So that’s why it usually resolves without any dietary changes with gastric bypass surgery. Anything that causes someone to lose weight is likely to improve the beetus.
