Damn, chocolate cake sounds really good right now.
It sure does. Too bad cake is on my do not eat list.
I realized I was getting too fat so I am trying to focus on a healthier lifestyle, and I realized a lot of it for me is simply diet. For meals I might eat a lot of vegetables, lean meat, etc, but for "snacks" I was eating way too much sugar. So this year I am trying not to eat any donuts, cookies, cake, or candy (the "snacks" that seem way to readily available at the office all the time.)
But damn some chocolate cake sure sounds good.

I do know one thing for sure, it’s a lot easier to stay in shape than it is to get back in shape. I was thin and fit most of my life and always wondered what the big deal was with dieting. Well, I let myself gain about thirty lbs. and now that I’m working on loosing it, it’s damned hard to resist that chocolate cake!
 
I had a turkey thigh that I had cooked earlier and vacuumed bagged for the freezer. When thawed and heated it was as good as the day I cooked it. Paired it with a salad and glass of sangria. I gave the dog the skin since I trim all the fat and skin now. She was happy.
 
I had a salad and a quarter of a turkey sandwich. Damned dieting.... have a loaf of bread in the bread maker cooking right now. Made a wheat loaf with walnuts and oats mixed in. I will have a hot slice in just a bit when it’s done, love fresh bread.
 
I am trying to eat healthier too.
At the office we've all been bringing different salad fixings and trying different types of salads for lunch. There are so many options I haven't gotten bored yet. For supper tonight I'm having spaghetti. . . not the best for a healthy diet but I've figured out that if I'm smart about what I eat earlier in the day I can enjoy a nice supper and still keep my calorie counter happy.
For example in the morning I used to always eat oatmeal, but I would get the flavored oatmeal packets, which have a lot of sugar. Now I've been making plain oatmeal with a little honey and fruit, which has like 2/3 the calories and half the sugar. The other day I forgot my oatmeal and I found one of the flavored packets in my desk drawer. I realized just how overly sweet they really are.
 
I got Chinese takeout tonight. I ate about 1/3 of it and will have two more meals out of it. Still not the best stuff for a diet but I’m not giving up good food. Will eat some salmon this weekend to make up for it....

I've almost completely stopped eating sweets (cake, candy, cookies and donuts are on the NO list) but ice cream I cannot live without. Sometimes you just need good food. I believe that as long as you are smart about the amount you eat you'll be okay.

Agreed, and even sweets are ok, in moderation. Having a piece of cake is fine, just don’t eat the whole damned thing....
I am having a slice of wheat bread, toasted with a tiny bit of butter, some bean soup I made a year ago and froze, and a salad, all getting washed down with a cold beer right now. I’ve been doing chores most of the day now and decided it’s time to relax for the rest of it.

Ok, I'm going to pick up some ice cream tomorrow. I have to go get another load of feed and medicine for the new calves anyway. At least this time of year the ice cream won't melt on the way home.
 
Left over chicken. I'm eating light tonight, but not by choice. Just finished feeding and watering the critters and put another ton of hay in the barn. It'll be a late night in the fur shed too.
I'd like to learn how to take a day off like Brent does.
Only half a day, I just couldn’t get motivated for an early start yesterday. One thing about having animals though, it dosent matter if you’re tired or sick, you still need to take care of them.
 
I’ve been eating healthier for a while now and hadn’t had a burger for a month. Last night I used the leanest beef I could get and made a 3/4 lb masterpiece fully loaded with everything! I was in heaven.... it was accompanied by some home baked potato chips with spices but no salt, and of course a glass of red wine. I had to get back on track today and just finished a salad and the last of those homemade chips.
 
Red wine is actually important to drink with red meat as it helps digest the fat.
My opinion is red wine is good to drink with all foods! Lol. Seriously, all good things in moderation, but I drink a glass of it almost every night as a sedative to put me down. Once in a great while I’ll have a second glass but that’s rare for me nowadays. We won’t talk about what I did when younger..,
 
I had an awful night last night when my apartment flooded, then I got a text from a coworker this morning saying I needed to be at work early (less than 45 minutes after I woke up). And then it was a very crazy day at work and several people were out. So. After that all I wanted was junk food. We got pizza for lunch and I enjoyed every bite. But I don't really feel like eating anything for supper now because I had such a heavy lunch.
