JoshFS's Journal, 01 August 2016

You've had steady and awesome progress, great job, Josh! My wife suggested tacos al pastor for lunch today, I'm not sure, thought I might go with a torta of some kind, back to IF tomorrow until about Friday.  

al pastor? 

Thanks Philmck. The food you mentioned sounds yummy. It's 2:00 PM here and I'm hungry. Going to finish yesterdays coffee cold. Looks like it will be turkey bacon for me today for starters. Hope you enjoy your meal, good luck on your IF. 

Keep up the great work! 

No need to apologize Josh...your steady progress is awesome. Love your journals too!! Have a great week and month to come!! 

SEAFOOD PLATTER looks awesome! I think a lot of us are recharged to go for it in August. I'm with ya! Glad you had a nice break. 

Erikahollister I found a Wikipedia link about Al Pastor food. I posted it at the bottom of the pictures. Philmck I know you are living in Texas, if you read this post and think Tacos Al Pastor is different. Don't hesitate to post what it means. 

Thanks PGM012197 

Thanks Steven Lloyd & Lizzygracemusic, hope you guys have a progressive August and 2016. 

April761 Kahlua coffee cream and liquor Kahlua sounds yummy. When I 1st bought the Kahlua coffee I filled up the coffee filter to the top and made it too strong. I thought I bought a bad bag of coffee. I was going to throw it in the trash, but I decided to make the coffee again only this time I filled the coffee filter 1/3 full. And the coffee came out really good. I now add just a little Kahlua coffee with my other coffees for brewing to achieve a blend, and it comes out very good. Hope you enjoyed your chicken salad. Good luck on your goals. 

Good seeing you again on here, Josh! Yep, eating is fun. I feel the same way, as I need to push new lows ahead. Funny, Bailey's & coffee with whipped cream is my free drink order in Vegas. I love those things. Have a great one. I like your new avatar pic. Have a great one! 

Thanks Warrenwinter. I'm supposed to go to Vegas this December with my wife, to see my her daughter graduate from college. I know In and Out burger will be there and Heart Attack Grill. I've been at the burger place once, back in 2012. My wife even bought me an In and Out Burger baseball cap over a year ago last time she went to see her family. Everybody was giving me compliments on the cap when I was wearing it. The subject of California would come to mind when they would see my cap. I want to eat at a popular famous pizza joint if and when I go to Vegas. And if I have enough money, go to Heart Attack Grill too. Nice to hear from you, hope you have fun next time you go to Vegas. 

Keep going! Love the positive and motivation that you have!  

Thanks Erink78. Good luck on getting to your goal weight, looks like you are almost there. Good luck. 

Well, Josh, any way you look at it, the Vegas food is exceptional. We don't follow it like we should. Because of comps, we are limited to certain restaurants. Funny, In N Out is walking distance from where I live. In my youth, I would eat there twice a day. In the old days sometimes I might get a "Death Burger" is what I called it there. That's when after you eat, you are not sure, which end you are going to spill it first. A real dilemma, but after all the years eating those, it has only happened twice. Not sure about best pizza in Vegas. You might want to research that. Researching Vegas eat spots is of value, because they have eat spots there like no where else.  

Thats funny about the Death Burger. 

I shouldn't have looked at the pics until after I've eaten! I'm starving now so .....portion control, portion control.... 

SjF60 I hear you about the portion control. Today I thought I was gonna do an 18:6 intermittent fasting and get away with a 700 calorie calorie consumption. Instead I was extremely hungry by 12:00 noon today. So I had a 680 calorie salami sandwich, & two chewable cherry sour candies. About 700 calories total for everything. By 3:00 PM I was hungry again, so I opened up a 500 calorie can of chicken breast. Plus 150 calories worth of diced tomatoes & green chili, then poured everything into a bowl and ate it. My hunger went away which was good, because I ended up going to the movies after my second meal. So my wife ordered a hotdog and a small popcorn. The hotdog didn't phase me, but my wife eats the popcorn until the butter disappears off the top. Then leaves the rest. So I grabbed a pinch of popcorn with my fingers just to sample it, but I did take the rest home. The good news is that my Mom is my neighbor and was taking care of my brothers son while my brother was out. She called me to hang out until my brother got home. And so my Mom put a dent in the popcorn, and well my nephew is supposed to be on a diet. But that didn't stop him from eating a ton a cherry sours while at my house. On purpose, we checked his blood sugar with the blood sugar meter about 15 minutes after he ate all that candy. And he clocked in at about 137. I was like wow, his sugar sure climbed fast for being such a young kid. Well I ate about 1350 calories total for today. Even with theater food in my face. I lost most of the water weight I gained a few days ago. I hope the scale brings a better tomorrow.
