I just read the tailend here of your log and I really need to go back and read read read more of it! I think someone suggested via karma donations that I read your log, and now I can totally see why! Very cool, and I think I'll gain lots of inspiration from you.

And why -- may I ask -- do you think it is that you can stop earlier with the almond butter and not the peanut butter? I have issues with ANPB now that I am just too afraid to even keep it in my apartment, especially in my tempting stage I'm currently fighting.

I just skimmed through your log and way to go on reaching that almost 100lb mark. You've also made some really great progress since just Feb this year. I know what you mean about wanting to take the athletic route now since I used to eat "healthy", but it took staying on this forum for a while to eat clean and take my workouts to another level.

I'm happy (and always surprised) to be anyone's inspiration. I am a large work-in-progress myself, but since I started logging here more than a year ago, I've learned a lot about myself. I have slowly stumbled on a daily regime that seems to work pretty well for my current lifestyle (that I enjoy and don't find restrictive) If you have any questions, please feel free to ask either here or via PM.

No deep reasoning....just that while I like almond butter, I don't like it THAT much. I think with nuts and nut butter, it helps to stick with your second or third choice and not go with your favorite to keep at home. For example, if you like crunchy, buy creamy instead and while it's still good, you don't want to gulp it all down.

Great suggestions Roony ... You almost forgot, for extreme cases, before the banning all together ... have a friend spoon feed you, then take it away & lock it up away from your house for the evening ..

Wishing you a great week to come Roon

You definitely shouldn't be surprised at being idolized! Goodness gracious, your menus alone make me (as a food/cooking/culinary person) have me saying "WOW". Blackberry Protein Waffles?! You're my new here.

*Passes the crown to Roony:

You're so right about the ANPB and keeping second choice foods in the house. It's really hard to break those old sneak-eating habits that still sick around... so for now, it's just easier to not keep it in the house, but once I gain strength back with those foods, it's all good. It only tends to be 'easy-access' foods, and in my land of no-process-carbs-snacks... the easiest thing to grab w/o thinking is ANPB and almonds. SO I have to really careful.

Thanks again for being an inspiration and THANK YOU for the compliments. Very cool of you. You are someone to aspire to.

Diva-Roo honey you're too fabulous to be getting sick. Stop that!

I know you said the workouts are painful and not fun but isn't that part of the reason for them? Your workouts vary, you're not always doing the same thing all the time and they are obviously working because you look amazing.

I also agree with T-cake in regard to your menus, but you already knew I was a dietary fan of yours

and as always, big hugs & lots of luv for Diva-Roo

I broke my digital camera and it has been sent away for repair. So hopefully in a few weeks when I get it back or maybe I’ll just have you take them for me in Detroit while I pose?
