Eating almonds. Eat 4 or 5 at a time, now the 3rd time through. I skipped lunch, though.
0400... or at least close enough.

Nuts are one of those things where I have no discipline. If you put the whole can/bag in front of me I'll just keep eating until they're gone.Quote:

I *can*, too. But at work, I have six cans of almonds* in my credenza drawer. I take out 4 or 5 almonds out, sometimes 6 (40 calories) at a time, and eat one at a time. I could just throw all of them in my mouth at the same time and then reach for another handful. I immediately put the lid back on and put it in the drawer, and shut the drawer. It's my mind's way of telling me I'm done. Oh, the other small trick I've done--it has a tinfoil "sealant" on top of it--you know what I'm talking about, even though I'm not calling it the right name--and rather than pull the entire thing off, I have just pulled it back a short way. That way I turn over the can, and sort of shake out a few almonds, rather than reach my grubby hand in and grab.
As an appetite suppressant, it works pretty well. I drink some water with it, or even coffee, and in about 5 minutes, the hunger pangs are gone. It's not a permanent solution, but can get me past the vending machine honey bun or peanut butter crackers.
* My wife got the Almonds at a buy one, get one free sale, so she picked up 8 cans. I took six to the office. Should last awhile, but there is nothing worse than being hungry at the office with a vending machine as the only source of quick food.
I'm a big believer in the low carb thing, at least for me. I can eat all the nuts i want. All the cheese, meat, etc., as long as no carbs. If I do that I drop weight. So I'm not ever hungry on it, I just a) get tired of eating the same things, and b) find it hard to eat them when I go out b/c everything on menus just about is loaded with carbs.
But when I'm on it, it's not about calories, so I eat a lot of nuts. Also other than peanuts they're kinda pricey, so that's another issue.
I pick up bags of shelled pecans and walnuts at the supermarket and eat a few every couple of hours in place of breakfast and lunch. Gets me to dinner then I eat whatever but I do try to watch the carbs even then, which is really hard to do when there's biscuits and mashed potatoes like last night.
That's an interesting take. I may try that when I get tired of my steel cut oats OR boiled eggs OR cheerios & banana for breakfast; the same for lunch diet.Quote:

I love the steel cut oats but you have to actually cook them instead of just zapping them in the microwave.
They're OK in the microwave, but you have to cook them slow, at a low power setting. Defeats the purpose of the microwave.Quote:

You won't mistake it for instant brown sugar cinnamon oatmeal. You should add fruit or flaxseed or something to it, but I go with easy and good enough.Quote:

Never been a fan of oat meal. I don’t really dislike it, it’s just never been that appealing. I’d rather eat an apple or some other fruit with yogurt and maybe granola.

I like oatmeal, would do overnight oatmeal and just with salt all the time except for the carbs. I don't need the sugar and stuff in it, but even just the oats is a lot of carbs.
They do have a lot of carbs but the steel cut have a lower glycemic index than rolled oats and lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
I'll be honest. The reason I use the steel cut oats is that they're longer to digest and make me feel full longer on a smaller portion. Anything else is gravy (so to speak). Oh, and I'm big about fiber right now, too, and they're a little better there as well.
Anything beats the instant oatmeal, though. That was what I had been using. Rolled oats are fine, too.
They do, and would be my choice. I need to eat some, they also lower bad cholesterol. It's not like i'm staying away from carbs right now anyway.Quote:

To some head coaches. Former head coaches.
Three minutes is a year's worth of "time" to that particular former head coach.

This is the kind of day when I step outside and realize there’s more to life than some stupid sport like college basketball. I’ll get over it though and start thinking about who’s going to win the derby or something lol.
So you younger folks learn from us veterans and our mistakes:
When she says she doesn't want anything or want to do anything for Valentine's Day, IGNORE HER.
Sage advice
For the first time in a long time. 1:54, dang.
2:00... of course this damn flu isn’t helping anything

In the 70s Monday, 80 yesterday, dropping into the 40s today. As my Mamaw would say, good weather to get sick.
(Mamaw wasn't necessarily an optimist.)
But, she was pretty dang accurate...Quote:

Rained all dang day. But I'll be grateful, looks like heavy stuff up north.
No rain today, but the mighty Ohio has not crested yet. A lot of people along the river are facing challenges, but when the water recedes, cleanup (think MUD) will be a real female dog.
I’m fortunate to live away from the river, as does my family, but a lot of people are not so lucky.
Even people just doing sight seeing toseethe high water are sometimes getting in the way of people who are being flooded, taking up parking spaces, making traffic bad, etc.
Some of the parking lots and garages in Cincinnati are going to be closed tomorrow, so people working there will have that challenge too.
It’s not a tragedy with a lot of deaths and injuries, but there is a lot of damage.
How often does the river get that high? It kinda took me off guard.
We’re just a little short of the 97’ levels.Quote:
