Not sure what hath sparked it but my in-box was slammed this morning with:

(I only blame myself, O’Bumbling Band, as I have no search button.)

The short version?

look here and here.

The longer version?

Coming soon to a blog post near you.

  2. when it comes to these things you mentioned:

    grilled/steamed/poached (you get the idea. depends on the restaurant) fish/chicken/lean beef, steamed veggies (baked potato if they choose with everything on the side) and a salad.

    I eat clean almost all the time (maybe an occasional fancy shmancy restaurant visit will net me a dish like pan-seared halibut cheeks and scallops in truffle something-something with asparagus and beets…guality ingredients but likely a calories and fat bomb). But at home, for dinner, it’s chicken breats, salmon, repeat, alwasy on top of a huge bed of greens and veggies.

    My weakness? Candy. Chocolate, gummy candy, caramels, anything – not “clean” but oh so good. Nothing shall come between me and my daily sweet. Not 12 bowls of ice cream or anything, but a couple tastes of something gets me through.

  3. W.G.?

    I’m with you.

    Entirely.

    I love the gummies and would horrify people with the fact the Tornado and I were happily eating them this am at 830 (please to note she’d been up since 530 & cease and desist from calling CPS).

    I’m also not one to watch what I eat when I go out as I don’t get out enough (once a week? two?) to have it make an impact (my clients were biz travelers which Im THANKFUL Im not).

    If it could be done in a non-binging way, I’d love to instruct all to have weekends be freefree intuitive eating FREE and only give it a foodasfuel thought during week!

    fuel which, of course, consists of a treat a day.

    Gummy worms anyone?

  4. About 2 yrs ago when I THOUGHT I created my “own” diet, it was really just eating very clean. And guess what, I dropped 30 lbs in about 4 months. I still try to eat really clean and when I don’t, I pay for it (physcially).

    I heart your blog 🙂

  5. I highly doubt it’s real fat loss causing this, but my waist measurement has gone down by an inch and a half in the last 2 weeks, in which I’ve been making a really good effort to eat clean 80% of the time. Less bloat maybe? I didn’t even know I had bloat.

  6. I need the post where you talk about how you *know* you need to eat clean, but you can’t seem to do so and your willpower is zero b/c you are so freaking tired from your kids and hubby that travels all the time.

    You offer therapy too, right mizfit? (sigh)

  7. MizFit, your description of clean eating sounds all too familiar. People are shocked — shocked, I tell you — when I confess that I ate way more food last year while writing the Weight-Loss Diary column than I had ever eaten in my life. My dietitan had me eating every two to three hours, lots of water, veggies, lean protein, and healthy carbs (biggest meal after workout, of course). At first, I thought she was completely insane, but she was right.

    Not only is it a good, healthy way to lose weight, I’ve noticed I just FEEL so much better when I eat that way. Sometimes I get busy and forget to plan — or just don’t feel like it — and eat way too many refined carbs and not enough protein and veggies. I can definitely feel the difference, not only in my body, but in my energy level, too.

    Thanks for the great reminder :-).

  8. Miz – you go out to eat once a WEEK?! or two?? Sigh.

    The Bag Lady gets to eat out once every 6 months or so. The Cowboy thinks it’s a waste, especially when he has a gourmet cook installed in his kitchen. (Of course, to him, a gourmet cook is someone who knows how to BOIL wieners, as opposed to heating them in the microwave…)

  9. Clarification – the Bag Lady does not eat said wieners, but she will cook them for him…
    (The Bag Lady has discriminating tastes, and will only eat wieners if they have been cooked almost black on the end of a willow stick over an open fire, thankyouverymuch!) And then they aren’t wieners anymore, but hot dogs!

  10. BL, you and yer wieners are too funny.

    ok—

    perhaps it’s once a week.

    at best.

    but you get the idea 🙂

    (I dont count my weekly visit to Fudruckers…)

    M.

  11. Oh, and did the Bag Lady mention that the “Gourmet Restaurant” the Cowboy usually takes her to is the A & W? Yup, gotta love those Teenburgers!!!

    Fudruckers? What is this, please?

  15. You around the homepage of digg or reddit or another large internet site? Trigger your internet hosting is admittedly gradual at this time, atleast on behalf of me.
