have had a steak of it
bit boring
sharkie--wow,all those veggies
I also freely admit I will eat anything if it's doused in copious amounts of vinegar. Even bog standard malt vinegar. Which is all I had ever tasted til I was 18.
I like strong tasting things I suppose - I love game and fish, but tend to find cod a bit bland unless it's fabulously fresh and beautifully cooked. Gimme a nice grilled mackerel any day.
Appearances to the contrary I am probably a Sicilian Granny with bread instead of pasta. Well no, the Italians like their bread as well of course...
and slim Italians who like clothes only have small amounts of pasta as I learnt when I have worked there.
Oh that's enough about food,
Except
Own up Tracey what was on the menu tonight? Although I expect you have the added comlication of cooking for four. Hipps I saw elsewhere it was Shepherd's Pie, although it sounded like the lion's share was going to the lion. Not you...
and I do hope ceal will give us a day's example tomorrow.
there is some left for my lunch
i DO love cold food
i would eat everything cold if i could
But your diet is SO HEALTHY sharkie
hm
Its not that i dont LIKE veggies
but, i just dont get round to it
and 'im indoors has to be persuaded
but really-no excuse for me
I am trying to eat more fruit and veg.
I had basmati rice.
mind, i eat too many carbs
Is it too late for an orange I wonder?
in my "dieting phase"
I wasnt very happy
now i associate fruit and veg with "diets" and mental pain
and now i dont think of them as "real food"
even after immoduim
Bernard does not eat fruit or veg. He does have the odd stir fry or oven cooked vegtables.
runners tummy
not good
but , hey, on a 5k thread you should be fine-no?
That sounds good. You get the gold star.
Hipps
It's not obsessively healthy - you are ignoring the vast quantities of caffeine and the choc and the toffees, and small puds. And I reckon if you can't eat the stuff you like when you're a grown up then life's sad.
As with so many things we're all a bit different so it's finding a happy balance for oneself that's important. I seem to function best with a decent protein hit every few hours so try and make sure I have it. I probably get more of my carbs through veg than most people, but I know most runners swear by lots of pasta/rice type carbs.
Surely best - and tastiest - if the carbs are not just the bland stuff though?
you wouldnt make is as a doc
you literally havent got time to p
Know it's piddly by your usual runs but up to 12 miles now and got a half on Sunday.
that says it all
off to me pit now
slep well pet-have a lie in

Hipps
But you love cooking - veg are such fab things to cook - they can look so lovely. I really like Mediterranean food and they do great things with veg - often fantastic cold, lukewarm or hot. But yes, I spend FAR too much time shopping and carting the damn things about. I have decided it really does qualify as cross training - especially here in Hastings where I have to trek over the hills hunting and gathering.
Oh well back to London on Friday - my fantastic fruit and veg market is about two minutes from my front door there. And I know all the stallholders.
but only a small mountain;)
You are not even a small mountain. I will take gently undulating - perhaps.

Your diet sound very good. Healthy and tasty - and probably better balanced than mine. You look very well on it too. Do you really have high cholesterol? It must be genetic as Hipps says. Mr. Shhh's mum has it and she has always eaten all the 'right' things. Just bad luck I guess.
French ice cream is great. Especially their bog standard vanilla - with the bits in - the sort you get at all the French seaside places. YUMM
But then there was the ice cream I used to have every night during the passieggata in Santa Maria del Castellabate, south of Naples. Fior di latte, I think it was called. Oh dear it's time to go to bed and stop rambling.....
Perhaps I will get off food and back on to heart rates tomorrow.
Sharkie
Bernard's mum has hight cholestrol and he did when he had a test a long time ago.
Well Bernard looks great right now but it's a shame you can't get him to eat more veg. Family history and the old test suggest a propensity towards a problem. I reckon we can all get away with stuffing our bodies with crap and smoking, drinking, taking illicit substances - whatever - for a limited amount of time but it catches up with you in the end.
Not that I am accusing your darling husband of any of those things!
My Dad died of a heart attack at 47, and his parents died young too. My little bro (well he's 52 and 16 stone) has already had a heart attack.
So.... I had to mend my ways before I hit the menopause!
You are sensible - and not in a boring way - to keep a none obsessive check on your weight and health now. So kiss, kiss to you.
