Been there, done that. Not me sir.
202 sounds good but not the flat.202 when I got showered up after this evenings ride. Had a flat along the way.
I usually don’t eat much if any sweets, but I’m actually enjoying playing with the homemade stuff. We did toss the banana ice cream. Nobody liked it. The chocolate was good.A half-gallon would last me a year.
There sure is a difference from depression era-clean your plate and today-clean your plate. If my kids ate what was laid before them they would be fat piglets. However the sentiment has hung around and hard to break.I guess I am getting old (64) and decided recently that despite my upbringing to eat everything on my plate that when I go to a restaurant that the portion sizes are just way too much for me to eat so I am now going to start taking half of it home in a "doggy" bag. Undoing the upbringing is tough, My mom grew up on a farm in the 1930s with 9 brothers and sisters 9 months apart and when there was a meal it was grab a helping before it ran out and then clean off the plate as soon as possible, they had plenty of food from the farm but it was working farm and food was "fuel" to do the seven day per week sunrise to sunset work. My dad grew up in an orphanage with 3 of his siblings in the 1920s as my grandmother was widowed and could not afford to feed them. It was similar eating style, grab a portion of what little food there was that was donated to the orphanage and eat it quick before someone else took it. Unlike the farm, the orphanage tended to be carbs and grease. I dont think my dad ate many veggies until he married my mom post war.
When I growing up as the youngest son in the sixties we were on the low end of middle income and we were expected to eat what was served and my mother took it as a silent insult if we left food on the plate, my dad set the example of cleaning the plate from his orphanage days. I have always been single and when cooking for one its always easy to cook too much and in most cases I would rather eat it when cooked instead of leftovers.
Not sure how it's going to affect the weight in the long term but I know that if eat an entire typical restaurant meal the resulting food coma lasts for a couple of hours.
Should Wed, Thurs & Fri. have another 100 pounds added to it? If not, you better start eating more!That 199.2 a few days ago after a hard ride and a lot of sweat. A more accurate measure may be my morning weigh ins.
Wed. 102.?
Thur. 101.?
Fri. 100.4
I might get a legit <200 this weekend or next week.
Ya know. Glass half full/half emptyShould Wed, Thurs & Fri. have another 100 pounds added to it? If not, you better start eating more!
I'll see what the old truth teller says tomorrow morning, anything from 209 to 212 will be good. It's time I get behind that outdoor treadmill again, that can make me drop two pounds.Gained about 100 lbs overnight. I guess I was just practicing writing my ones yesterday.
Out of bed was 199

Not us but some places will feel like 98 tomorrow in Vermont. Mowing in temps like that might make me drop 3 pounds. I'll see how the knees feel tomorrow morning, if they're barking at me, I'll mow the trails with the trail mower and finish what mowing I'll do with the push mower another day.You can come mow my yard too if you want. Supposed to be 98F tomorrow.
