OT: Health and Fitness Thread ‎III

I lost almost 2 pounds this week for a total of just over 20 since January 29. Still doing the intermittent fasting and I think it seems to be working so I'll stick with it.

I did celebrate with one donut hole at church this morning, don't tell anyone

Then I came home and fixed some tilapia and riced cauliflower with Old Bay for lunch. Old Bay makes everything better...

I went all of Lent without looking at a donut.

Wife was craving an iced coffee so we stopped after Mass and grabbed coffees and donuts. I ate half of mine.

We just went for soft serve (since I didn’t get my ice cream last night!) and was more than good with a kiddie size.

Skating tonight, and I’ve been able to get out of the habit of coming home from late nights playing hockey and killing a whole pizza. I’ll have a little bowl of cereal, a hot shower, and call it a night.

Yeah, it’s bad.

I’ve been able to rein it in as of late and it’s made a big difference.

No more pizza and ice cream.

It’s either a sandwich and a couple of chips, some fruit, or a bowl of cereal and chug a water.

Officially down 20 pounds in eight weeks.

As the kids say, “We are so back.”

Moment of truth came this morning.

We have a big trip to Kohl’s planned for later.
Nothing puts me in a foul mood quite like pants shopping.

I decided to try the half dozen pairs of pants hanging in my closet, collecting dust the past two years.

Sons of bitches fit.

I turned 56 Tuesday, and filmed this Wednesday.

Still able to jump and still have my A-game. But i know Father Time is undefeated.

So I'm doing my best while I can!

My new favorite snack now is vanilla Greek yogurt with chia seeds and frozen wild blueberries. The difference in taste between the "regular" blueberries I got at Sam's and the Wyman's wild blueberries is incredible. I'll never go back to regular again.

I'm enjoying this more than ice cream.

I’ve been liking the flax plus cereal at night for a little sweet treat.

Lots of grapes and berries.

Tonight we went and got ice cream, so I got a kiddie soft serve vanilla with sprinkles.

I haven't gotten really good grapes here in a long time. They've been really tough, texture wise, and not really sweet. I'm pretty picky when it comes to grapes.

We’ve had some good fortune with green grapes up this way.

A couple of meh bags, but for the most part crisp
And firm.

Got some really good chicken from Fresh Market today too.

I bought my mother some grapevine for her garden about 10-12 years ago and they flourish every year mid-late summer but they usually have seeds. Eh.

Anybody use LMNT electrolyte mix? It's high sodium so tastes kind of salty, but I dilute it in 32 oz of water so it's not that bad.

I don't know if anyone saw this on the main board about Erik Karlsson's pregame meal. It's maybe a bit surprising, but then again the calorie burn for NHL defensemen is surely astronomical. Especially having to skate 200 feet back to your own end to get the puck 3-4 times per power play.

That makes me want to vomit.

How on earth do you even begin to think "I wonder what this tastes like together"

Eeeewwwwwww

I got on the scale this morning. It syncs to an app on my phone because it supposedly measures body fat and all that. No idea how accurate it is but it's fun to watch the numbers get better week by week.

This morning the first time I stepped on, it only displayed weight but not the other measurements. But it said I was down about 4 lbs.

I stepped on again to retake and it got all the measurements but this time it said I was down 6 pounds. In a week.

Again....I have my doubts about the accuracy of these digital scales especially when it gives you two different numbers within 30 seconds. But you better believe I'm going with the lower number

And going by that number, I'm down 31 pounds since January 29.
