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

Tuesday Night eats.

Leftover brussels, bellas, Vidalia & bacon......with a small beef tenderloin cut....rare/medium rare.

Tuna....for breakfast.

Pappardelle Bolognese with side salad. (I'm carb loading for a half marathon Sunday morning, so eating carb heavy right now.) My eyes were hungrier than my tummy tonight, so I was only able to finish about half of the pasta and most of the salad.

Half. I may attempt a full this fall or maybe spring of next year, but for now I'm content getting faster at the half marathon distance. (Plus the occasional 5k and 10k). My biggest concern for the full is actually fueling/hydrating, not the distance. I have reactive hypoglycemia, so have to be careful about how and when I take in carbs. After almost passing out on a long run last year, I'm super deliberate about fueling, but it's still a challenge.

Omarice for breakfast this morning. Sorry, should have taken a pic before starting in on it, but I was hungry after a short shakeout run and didn't think about it in time.

I hope you do as well as you want in the half marathon. Wish I was there to cheer you on as you are always here with a kind and helpful push in the right direction in this group

Thank you for your kind words! ❤️

Of course I'd love to get a new personal record, but I just really enjoy racing! I'm sure it will be a fantastic day regardless.

Hope it went really well @SpartanMaker

It did, thanks! I was a little slower than I'd hoped, but was able to go sub 2 hours, which was the main goal. It was also a new PR for me. ?

Tonight's lunch/dinner.

Great job on the new personal record marathon results @SpartanMaker

I've been craving catfish lately.

Workweek was freakin' nuts......came home from 16hr day yesterday and collapsed on the bed...grateful it was the last day...woke up this morning with the sunlight beaming down through the window.

I'm always up well before dawn.....not today.

A pot of coffee.....over midmorning news.....superhot shower and went out to get the makings for my only meal today.

Keto catfish.

Ran the fillets through and egg bath and then rolled them around in almond flour.

Fried in avocado oil.

Just prior to picking up a fork I dosed them with hot sauce.

Not bad. Did not toss into the trash, lol.

Took 30 mins but I knocked off 2/3 of the fish and 1/2 the steamed vegetables.

Tonight's lunch/dinner was fried catfish.....keto friendly version.

Egg wash then a roll in some seasoned almond flour.

Fried in avocado oil.
