I had to check my spelling on the word Shepard, always thought there was an "h" in it..... I always had an h in it but have been spelling it with wrong vowels for my entire life
With or without the H, sure looks to be some fine cook'n going on at Pete's place. I never get to do much cooking. I want to bake some bread. Problem is my diet won't allow much baking. Fixing a salad isn't much fun.
Eating salad is how I lost 30 lbs. Larry. I've gained about 5 back because I've kinda' gotten off track (happens every winter). I like to put either a baked and sliced chicken breast in it or just some chicken/ham/turkey lunchmeat mixed in. Shredded Mozz, and some raisins round it out, but you could also add in some walnuts. Sorry, not meaning to tell you how to eat, but I love a good salad.
I'll eat salads, but they are NOT fun for me. I love carbs, but they need to cut down by 2/3 to be effective. I can't do anything a diet that isn't one I have to live with for the long term . I've done that before and it is a prescription for failure. The most balanced diet out there today is the Mediterranean Diet. Last time I was honest with myself, I lost 70 pounds and kept it off two years. I do appreciate the concern and hints. This is an off day for me. I am scheduled to have a colonoscopy tomorrow so today is clear liquids and laxatives. Those nuts want me to set my alarm for 3 Am and get up to drink 32 oz. of miralax. I doubt I'll get much sleep because I have to have the first dose at 7 PM today.
I really don't like the word diet, simply because it generally denotes a short term solution for a long term problem. I think of weight loss as more of a lifestyle change. I'm still trying my darnedest to completely change my lifestyle.
So true, I'm hoping I change my eating habits. Lost too much of my autonomy already. Need to turn things around.
