Peach Cobbler Recipe...

Yes, UmAnOnion, you're evil!

It isn't 'fattening' unless you actually eat it. You can look all you like.

If you eat it as part of the 8000 calories per day you need to maintain the level of activity your lifestyle dictates then you won't put on weight either.

I'm just trying to decide if I am going to eat cold cooked turkey with a green salad or fry up some bacon, mushrooms and peppers.

At least Atkins is easy. There is always something you can eat.

Well, this week was going fine 'til I went out to El Torito for dinner Saturday night. I was going to get the Fajita Supreme, and just eat all the meat - chicken, steak, and shrimp - but when they brought out the chips and salsa, my will-power vanished! I look at chips as a vehicle to scoop in the salsa, but since I went through three small bowls of salsa...

They had a new margarita that I had to try - had two of 'em...

At least I stayed away from the stack of tortillas, and the rice and beans. :rolleyes:

Bottom line: I had dropped to 223 at one point during the week, but as of this morning, I've back-tracked to 225. I'll do better this week.

To borrow from P1M...

"Guid oan ye!"

I'm down to 235ish from 272, started in November.

Don't think of it as getting off track. Think of it as giving yourself a well deserved reward. Now get back up on that horse!

Now get back up on that horse!

Already there.

i will refrain from posting fajita pictures & guacamole recipes this time as Iolaus might come after me with the pick axe Kilted KT mentioned earlier.

Keep up the good work Iolaus. I am sure you will drop those remaining pounds in no time...

Well, that was last week; this week I'm back down to that 223. The good news is that I've been fitting into my size 36 shorts again - six weeks ago, I couldn't get the button within 2" of the button hole! Good thing my kilts have a lot of leeway. My UKs were mostly bought at the lower end of my swing last time, so more of them are getting close to fitting now (still got a ways to go for that 36" workman though). Haven't tried the pants yet; what the point? we're in the 70's & 80's now!
