Thanks everyone!! It's great to be back...I've missed logging and felt lost without it.

Hey Rooney!

As far as Whole Foods. They do have Ezekiel wraps. They will be in the refridgerated bread section...should be close to the frozen foods. There will be jerk spice in the spice section. You may also be able to find a paste, but they sometimes have sugar in them. If you can find one without sugar, definitely go for it.

What else did you have in mind as far as what you wanted to cook? Let me know and I can tell what's really good there.

Thanks, Fly! I will definitely pick up the wraps and the jerk spice. I'm not sure what else I want to cook. I generally stick to grilled meats/poultry/fish with veggies and nothing too fancy beyond that. I do want to get into crockpot/slow cooker recipes. Anything you can recommend for that - spices, pastes etc.? Also, it is worthwhile buying actual meats/poultry/fish at Whole Foods or am I better off sticking to the local Acme for that sort of stuff? I guess the reason I never really bothered with Whole Foods till now is that their prices scared me off. Trader Joes in comparison is so reasonable, so that's why I always leaned toward them.

Geez, Roony! Do you realize you have lost a little over 10 lbs in the last few months?!?!?!?!? Keepin' that muscle?

Geez, Roony! Do you realize you have lost a little over 10 lbs in the last few months?!?!?!?!? Keepin' that muscle?

Getting sick will do that to you sometimes. I did lose about half of that with clean eating and no cheats. But my scale weight just plummeted further unfortunately for the 2-3 weeks that I was out of commission. So I may have lost some muscle, but hopefully not too much. All I can do for now is to get back on program and I am getting back into lifting 3x/wk from next week on...yay! Let's just say I'm not going to complain if my scale weight creeps back up to about 118-120lbs.

Roony I've been looking for some of the foods you have listed because they sound like things I might want to try. My local grocery stores don't have 99% of them. We have one vitamin shop other than GNC that carries "specialty" food items. Other than that Wal-mart, Kroger & Marsh are all I have to choose from and their selection is less than sufficient. Boca-Burger items seem to be what they carry the most of.

Do you order them online or do you live in a city that has a big specialty food store?

My lower body is so sore today that it hurts to walk up from my first floor to my second floor. You would think I took a break from working out for a year instead of just 3 weeks! Looks like I will spend most of the day in a seated or lying position

My glutes and quads are still killing me! Seriously, between still having to pee frequently from the kidney infection and all these aches, I really feel like I have the foresight in knowing what it’s like to be a senior citizen
