No not including the .2 cause apparently you have to sign out at the end with your kid and there will be some congestion. Then you head down the award area. Kids get metals. Purpose of this is they run 1 mile a week after school for 25 weeks. Then tomorrow the run the last mile of the Pittsburgh marathon course to conclude their 26 miles.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

Uggggggggggg.... so at spring fling and my 4 days in Vegas I didnt have a single pop. Only had 1 or 2 in the last few weeks. I think that I have beaten my addiction. I really dont crave it at all. HOWEVER... I am now completely addicted to McDonald's vanilla iced coffee. It is so damn good

Iced coffee, even with all that vanilla sugar, is better than pop.
I think the FrGambler must have slacked off on his prayers for me because. I had an all you can eat breakfast buffet today. Sure glad I did not lug my scale along on this trip.

Whole Foods is an expensive grocery store and people mock them by calling them "Whole Paycheck"
but I have to admit that their offerings are a lot better than the lower price chain groceries stores around here that are basically similar to Safeway
their salad bar is way better - their hot food bar is way better - their bakery offerings are way better
just have to dig a little deeper into the pocket - but I think it's worth it

yeah, they used to have quail eggs from New Zealand and sixteen types of olives, an onsite cooking school and a childrens story telling room. The female customers were definitely not dressed for walmart. Vanilla Latte, scones and a discarded copy of the WSJ used to be my morning routine.
As for today, MoW showed up with some sort of sweet potato strata with beets and potaoes and some cranberry sugar water. Also brought a loaf of bread so chopped a wilted celery stalk into some mayonnaise and tuna and had two sandwiches for lunch.

I indulged in Endless Shrimp at Red Lobster last night. I was able to gullet 60 shrimp (40 shrimp scampi and 20 wood grilled shrimp) along with mashed potatos, rice, and two biscuits. A great meal for only $15. I probably won't eat at all today as I am still stuffed from last night.

I think drich was kinda insulted by the suggestion that he exerted will power to deny himself food.
Back on the keto wagon for me. I'm gonna really do battle with this final boss of stubborn belly and chest flab. I look fairly good standing up straight but pretty gross Laying on my side or what have you
Whatever beef they are slicing off at the buffet, some chicken a bunch of veggies and a slice of honeydew.
Maybe a 48 hour fast after this.

I went +EV on Whole Foods hot food bar
I bought a $1.00 box of New Orleans dirty rice at Aldi - and cooked it up in my rice cooker - very easy
then at the hot food bar I got just their marinated cuts of steak - about a third of a lb. - enough for me for my dinner - cost just $3.00 - that is by far the most expensive item on their food bar if it was bought outside of the bar
so I had a restaurant quality steak dinner that cost just $4.00 - Whole Foods did 90% of the work - damn - I'm pretty sharp on my better days..... ......... 😃

Two nuked eggs turned into rubber by the microwave at 8:00am then I waited at main entrance for Meals on Wheels to arrive since on weekends the doors remain locked all day. Even though I had recently eaten, once the 10:15 MoW food arrived, I had Tuna(?) on rice, peas and a cranberry mini-scone.

Eating Indian food again today for lunch. I went most of my adult life, decades, eating Indian food occasionally, sure, but uncertain as to why it was popular with some, except that the price was usually 'right'. Then I went on a cruise that had a good Indian chef in the buffet, which had curries and such put out all the time.
Now I can't get enough of it. No Indian restaurant all that close here. I'm reduced to buying packets I can microwave that I get at the store. It comes in two 'heats', not hot at all, and fiery hot. My current fave is a "channa masala" that is too mild actually, but that's easily fixed with hot sauce.

In the UK, a culinary reference to "the Indian" will usually refer to a curry shop run by a Pakistani though often the cuisine is that of a religious sect originally driven out of Persia, the place that invented ice-cream.
As to my culinary adventures today, Lentil Mush with carrots. Again.
MoW today was sausage with rice and red peppers, green peppers and onions; beans in sugar sauce and a slice of pound cake! What a treat! Beats Lentil Mush for sure! What doesn't?

Remember those pamphlets Where To Go in New York, London, Paris?? They were guidebooks to ultra clean rest rooms. The unmarked door in Lord and Taylor's that lead to a Ladies Room, The "Storage Room" door in a Greenwich Village apothecary, the "Dental Laboratory" in a mid-town hotel. Best of all was the Upper West Side health food store run by the now-deceased Wolfman. Always liked that guy even though he not only insulted me when I first entered his store but had the gall to do it in front of two girls from nearby Columbia.

I used to snack on a spoonful of sweet butter, but haven't in years. Also used to fry up a can of beefaroni, toss in some ricotta cheese, pour it on a loaf of sliced Italian bread, top it with Mozzarella cheese and toast the whole thing until it was well done but not burnt. Sometimes I'd add BBQ potato chips into the mix.
My Dad used to fry bologna, add tuna fish, and make these roll up thingies. I thought it was as bad as it sounds but he liked them. Twenty five years of C-Rations will do that.

*climbs 75% out of window*
*starts yelling at top of lungs* "HEY, WHAT KIND OF LETTUCE DO YOU USE ON YOUR CHEESEBURGERS?!"

"I don't know it's just lettuce."
*whispers to others in car* "Wow, I can't believe they don't know what kind of lettuce they have"
"So do you want a cheeseburger?"
"ARE THE ONIONS CHOPPED OR DICED OR MINCED OR SLICED???"
"Uhh..."
"WHAT KIND OF MUSTARD DO YOU USE? WHAT ABOUT TOMATOES? KETCHUP? WHAT KIND OF CHEESE?"
"Uhh, just regular mustard and tomatoes and ketchup. I'm not sure about the cheese, maybe cheddar or american?"
"WHAT!? IS IT MUNSTER, JACK, CHEDDAR, AMERICAN, PROVOLONE, <lists off 50 different types of cheese>"
*whispers to others in car* "I could totally make a better cheeseburger at home. <Explains in detail how to make a cheeseburger at home, while we're supposed to be ordering at this mcdonalds drive-thru at 3am>."

I'm very anti weird food stuff. When I was a kid people eating gross stuff would make me gag.
It's not as bad now but I'd still say restaurants should have a separate section for the grossies. Like people who put ranch on stuff.
Separate country maybe.
I don't know if it's weird, but oranges with honey and cinnamon on them are super good.
Breaking a 3 day fast at Sam's town. I like the steak house here.
Going light with the Atlantic salmon. It comes on a bed of mushrooms and is really well seasoned. $23. Would be $45 on the strip.

Cream of mushroom soup spread on bread, slice of cheese, bacon strips scattered on top. Broil until cheese browns. Ridiculously tasty. Dad special.
Fried liver and onions in butter. Yuck. Dad. Also liverwurst sandwiches.
Oysters baked in butter and milk casserole with cracker crumbs on top. Husband.
Mashed potato salad. MIL.
Steak and kidney pie. Grandmother.
Haggis. Nuff said. Scottish uncle.
Roast moose. Other uncle. Not good. But only had it the one time - maybe there's a way to cook it tasty.

Crock pot a ton of food for the week.
Rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.
There is a bunch of reasonably priced pre-made food at Whole foods.
Most grocery stores and some cheap restaurants have really solid salad bars and soup. Gotta be careful with the soup. You can throw a couple crumbled up eggs in the salad to make it hearty and extra healthy.
Get a nice hunk of cheese (I like parmesan). Some salami, or what have you. Pickles and/or olives. That makes several tasty meals. not optimally healthy to eat processed meat, but certainly far better than SAD. Pickles and olives are great for you. Cheese is so-so, but aged cheese is good for the ole' testosterone at least.
If possible, get the wife to make you stuff once in a while. You're practically working 2 jobs, I think it's fair to ask, though obviously, it's none of my biz.
Look for some good take out in your area. Fish grill. El Pollo loco. A cheap chinese place that has things like Kung Pao chicken and beef with broccoli.
You guys have Capriottis? It's a sub place but they have excellent, meaty salads.
My invention: keto nachos. Dump out a burrito from a real Mexican (asada, chicken, carnitas) place on some pork rinds.

Quote: billryanNutisystem is running a 50% off sale right now that will be good as long as you keep with the program.
Ask for the Diabetic program as it is the same cost but offers much better alternatives.
If you skip ordering every other month, you end up paying $145 a month for half of your meals. You get 14 breakfasts, 14 lunches, 14 dinners and 28 snacks. Delivered to your door, and ready to pop in the microwave.

Nutrasystem has been around for a while.
What had to be 10+ years ago I ended up eating a bunch of Nutrasystem. My sister bought like 6 months worth of food and hardly ate any of it.
I am not paranoid about preservatives on food, but the fact that none of it needs refrigeration freaks me out a little bit. Everything from Nutrasystem was pretty good, I don’t remember anything being completely inedible, but I think eating what is similar MRE/Survival food every single day would get pretty challenging.

For some reason, the diabetic program offers mostly frozen food. I agree eating it every day is a bit much, but I find a day on, a day off works well for me. It's helped me in my slow journey towards 300. $150 a month is much more manageable than $300 for the everyday program. Today is an off day. Bought a large Pizza Hut pie, with meatballs and green peppers on sale for $5.99. Had four slices for lunch and will have four more for dinner. Both with huge amounts of ice water. Total cost for lunch and dinner- $6. Tomorrow is a NS day. Chocolate Muffin for Breakfast, a few grapes and slices of swiss cheese for snack, ravioli for lunch, turkey and stuffing for dinner. That leaves me two snacks. Might use one for a glass of milk, and the other will be a mystery reach into the snack box to see what I pull out.

I had my nutrition program sabotaged by the local power company that deliver hurricane bags to all the residents of the building. I immediately ate the crackers and the cranberry-walnut mix lasted but one day.
i'm living on Meals On Wheels which is extremely tasty stuff but the power company undermined the effects of all those Lentil Mush meals and rubbery egg meals.
