Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !

I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc

VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Roasted Cuban carnitas with onions, brown rice and salad with citrus vinaigrette last night. Leftovers tonight. ;]

Vegan gyros with shiitake and red onions with soy skyr dip and rucola cress. Part of ciabatta roll. Just the right thing after a semi-awful 24 h shift.

Looks like chicken...

24hr shift! That's absolutely crazy

The older hospital doctors even know 36 h shifts. Granted, evenings, nights and weekends weren't as busy in their days as they are today.

Got about 3.5 h of sleep this time and that's not that bad. Anyway, the hospitals know how to stretch the law in their favor. Some more months of this before going into on-call only again in January. I'm too old for this sh*t.

Breakfast food for dinner. Microwaved oats with apples, raisins, chia, cinnamon, soy milk and almond butter. Later I had the rest of the ciabatta roll with butter.

Can someone tell me why I feel guilty about eating a mango ??

You've fallen victim to carbophobia.

Navy ham & bean soup tonight and chia cacao pear pudding for dessert.

My new fave snack:

Frozen Grapes!

I think I have frozen grapes at least 3 times a week. The seedless black grapes are my favorite. Costco was out of them last week and I had withdrawals. They did have cherries though!

Oh Cheeseburgh, Miami was a brilliant and vibrant city to live + work as a young designer! A lot of up and coming talent on the scene... Loved it. My sorority sister from U of Miami dated Don Johnson briefly when he was separated on and off from Melanie Griffith. But before fame - the real heart throb was Andy Garcia, a senior when I was a freshman at FIU. On the weekends, all us girls would hit Coconut Grove to hear our favorite band - The Miami Sound Machine featuring unknown Gloria Estefan, at that time. Fun. I still crank up her greatest hits for dancing! ;]

How fun and it sounds glamorous! It made me laugh when I think of my celebrity encounter about the same timeframe since it was the polar opposite!

I went to UW (Madison), I was at a house party and an older guy sat down next to me and we started chatting. He seemed annoyed with me because I wasn’t interested in talking to him. Finally he said, don’t you know who I am? I replied no. He introduced himself as Tom Wopat, I still had no clue. Then he said he was on The tv show Dukes of Hazzard. I just laughed and said sorry I don’t watch that show and left (I’m sure I was tipsy). That was true, but if the blond guy had been at that party I would have recognized him, he was the cute one.

I didn’t watch either show but Miami Vice vs. Dukes of Hazzard is an easy call!

Ok, going off on a tangent from food here, but I have to share my one and only celebrity encounter myself. 10 years ago, we got to meet Alicia Keyes backstage when she was in town for a concert. The Kid was sooooo upset she didnt get to go to the concert (she was 5!) because her fave song at the time was "No One", so she basically had a meltdown when she found out we met her AND had a picture with her....so I photo-shopped her into it, lol. Over the years, I think she convinced herself she was actually there now. ?

Ummmm...this looks like a picture out of Food and Wine magazine.

Nice!

(and YUM!)

Variation of what I had yesterday. Pimped it up with some Ras al Hanout spice.
