DS math

Hmm....   3000 calories a day?   Thats swell.   My average daily consumption also hovers around 3000 calories of which 180 - 200 of that is protein.  My basal metabolic rate is somewhat high because I am very active but regardless I can eat like a normal person.  While I do tend to stay away from a lot of the fatty foods and sweets most of the time I will have an occasional Coke, candy or high fat foods like steak and pork chops.   Actually steak and pork chops are part of my daily menu.   In the last hour I've eaten maybe 7 or 8 Hershey Kisses along with half a pack of NECCO wafers.   For lunch I ate at an Indian buffet as a treat after my half marathon and ate a plate and a half of normal size portions of food.   Not pigging out as my 464 pound pre-op frame would have by any means. 

So, what's the point of all this rambling?   I'm a RNYer and I've got just as good of a relationship with food as the common DSer.   Go figure.

Oh, I also lost 7 pounds today.  

Okay, Chad, you're also a GUY!  And ATHLETIC!  This disqualifies  you from comparisons with women.  Who don't exercise.  Sheeeeeesh!  ;) Charming PS This is why women should never co-diet with men.  Eating at a table with one can be entertaining, but to diet competitively ... impossible. 

Yup, what Charming said!  Chad, please take your seat!  

No... Thanks for the suggestion though.   I'd rather stand or maybe even run dear, dear lady.

I'll stand with you if we can do some yoga.  Fergit that runnin'!  hehe!

Well that's the thing...   I can run for miles and miles and miles but I'm as inflexable as a board.  I stretch before and after running but I don't think I could physically contort my body the way some of the yoga gals do.   

Oh wait... I can sit indian style.  Is that yoga?  :)

Lol what a polite blow off. Love it.

Congratulations on your half-marathon WIN!! That's awesome. I wish you lived near me--I love the Indian Buffet--my favorite!! Love your avatar--you look GOOD!!! Jill

You rock!  Quick question for you -- totally OT -- have you ever seen a Spanish movie called "El Bola?"  You look like the twin brother of one of the stars!

El Bola?  Heh.  No, never heard of it.   I'm half Italian / half French but no Spanish that I know of in my bloodlines.
