Those sammiches are the best. I miss them. They're up there with grilled cheese and tomato soup, white rice w/eggs and bacon, egg banjos, peanut butter and banana sandwiches... I'm hungry now.
In my universe peanut butter and banana sandwiches are their own food group.
I want one now. Hmmmmm.... *Stares at clock* If I wait 40 minutes until midnight does it count as the next days calories?
You guys are all giving me the heebie-jeebies. I guess I didn't have a typical American kid mid-70s upbringing ... I never had a fried bologna sandwich and I've never had liverwurst.
PB and banana with honey ... now that is a classic!!
But those cookies are great ... I miss cookies ...

pickled pigs feet, beef brains and scrambled eggs (we kids said 'never again' it stuck), and then the time horse meat was popular, parents chickened out and asked our judgement - I think it was then the phrase 'never trust anyone over 30 was invented
Oh dude, pork brains are the shiznit! Taste and consistency of sausage with a little egg thrown in. Good eatin.' Don't forget the occasional pickled egg.

ur not the only one. I had bologna, but only just plain on wheat with mustard (we didn't DO yellow, only spicy brown). Dude, this stuff people talk about make me glad I didn't have their mom. I would gone veggie MUCH sooner than 16 at that rate.
Mother's animal crackers are the best and I used to eat liverwurst on crackers. I'm also part cajun so anything crawfish is just about the best thing ever.

Yup! Some of my favorites were ...
When my dad would make whole wheat bread ... he would make one loaf per week and then would also make these little parker rolls out of the rest and we would have them that night (Sunday) with homemade soup. Usually had barley in it. I miss barley.
Tofu egg-salad. Firm tofu, crumbled up, mixed with shredded carrots, mustard (NOT yellow), mayo, and poppy seeds. Great scooped up in celery stalks.
Chickpea-of-the-Sea. Mashed chickpeas, mixed with mayo, chopped onion, and celery seed. Delishious inside a mini-whole wheat pita.
Breakfast for Dinner. My dad would either make scrambled eggs with toast, or whole-grain pancakes for dinner. We would change into our jammies first and then dig in.
Whole grain bread, spread with herbed cheese spread, topped with warm sliced tomatoes from the garden (ie just picked and warm from baking in the sun) and topped with a little shredded basil. O.M.G.
My grandmother's chewy oatmeal cookies with raisins.
Mmmmm ... now I'm hungry. I could go on and on!!!

I'd have to get it from my mom if she has it. My grandpa used to make it, but he's pretty far gone now (Alzheimer's). Super moist, cuz of the mayo. I don't know if it was originally recipe or just gotten from somewhere back in the 60s/70s.
There's some online, but I remember we used to also make ours a layer cake with pb between the layers, and fudge icing. It wasn't "clean" by any stretch of the imagination.
I think I need to go eat one of those no pudge brownies I just made. Before I break out the sifter and start baking really bad shit.
My fave sandwich is white bread (like Wonder bread...soft and squishy) with bologna and lots of mayo and then put potato chips on the sandwich and crunch it all together with the mayo and the bologna and eat. MMMMM......
Mother's animal crackers are the best and I used to eat liverwurst on crackers. I'm also part cajun so anything crawfish is just about the best thing ever.
mmm... suck the heads clean.
There's a Twilight Zone community in Orange County where a whole lotta Vietnamese folk live. Only they came through Louisiana and cook Cajun food.
You can get huge bags of spicy mudbugs dumped on your table, along with corn, red potatos, sausage, and shrimp.
I need to plan another trip over there.

Your friends brought their own snacks over to play, didn't they? Cuz I'm guessing they couldn't count on those cookies being there all that often...
I'm so lucky that all we were made fun of for was Shasta and Hydrox.

I've had that. My grandma also made Dump Cake. It was like a pineapple upside down cake, with crumb stuff on the top and something like cherry pie filling stirred in. Might have been nuts, too. Speaking of nuts, my Grandma was; she called it Dumpf Cake. She insisted she was right. Who was I to argue? Either way, it helped make me plumpf.

With butter.
The house sure stunk while she was boiling the tripe, but man was it ever tasty when she was done.
Oh yeah -- Roland who?
Revolting. I love menudo, but there's always a lot of tripe at the bottom of the bowl. I'm not eating that. I draw the line at cabeza and lengua. Or, the Mexican chorizo, even though I know what's in it.

No chips for me. Fritos! Fritos make any sandwich better. Or chili. Frito Pie. Mmmm...
Okay, folks, I love mayo just as much as most of you, but seriously, with chocolate? Please. Mayo goes with/in/on: burgers/hot dogs/sandwiches (especially tomato and/or bologna), French fries, "salads." The girl puts it in baked beans, and she's from around here Sometimes, I wonder why I talk to her

Sitting at my job as well. Mine just allows me a lot of free time (how do you think I get so much reading done?). I guess it was the flood of other people playing on--er, in your log.

I bombed on the last Challenge and decided not to do this latest one. It's too long for me. I have long term goals, I have short term goals. I need short term motivation, because in the grand scheme of things, whether I have a six pack or not, is not important. When I got too hungry, too lonely, or too stressed, I caved. I'm having that problem on my own, too.
I realize that it's all me (yesterday was International Bench Day, so I'm still repeating the mantra), but all of me needs a little help right now.
I just want to stick to the fucking diet. Maybe a partner with similar goals and problems? Maybe a different type of challenge that I throw forum wide? More short term. Teams or pairs. Not sure.
I'm envisioning small teams or pairs. One month challenges. New teams can join in each month. Running totals of who wins each month.
Anyhow, I logged in fitday today. First time in a week or more. I actually haven't done all that bad in this last week or so, but I'd have to call it calorie cycling, at best. I'm so freakin' hungry after a workout, so I eat a decent size meal. It's like a chain reaction of feeling like I NEED MORE FOOD. I usually cave.
Not doing too badly means that my pants are still as loose as they were two weeks ago. I got comments yesterday on looking leaner in the face, too. This morning, I woke up and saw a few positive changes. I want to use this momentum (what there is of it) and keep on track.
I usually just push through, myself. If my workouts trigger insatiable appetites, I tone down the intensity. I find that after a few days, my ability to forget to eat and never be hungry comes back, and it's easier for me. My personal struggle is with activity, not food.
I don't think it's motivation. It's determination. It's just fricking doing it. Do the workout. Get off your ass. Close the fridge/pantry.
I did my work all by myself, for the most part. When I was "done" and maintaining and just trying to get smokin, I found forums and everything went to shit.
I don't do anything with outside "motivation." It does nothing for me. A short time span tends to help. I'm now setting 2 week goals for weight loss. Otto plans his plan in 3 week cycles. It's like the philosophy of just taking a few minutes to do something, in that then you just end up keeping going.
I force myself to make it a priority because I know I'll be pissed with the lackluster results if I don't. It's like a painting or a paper or any other project. Constant, consistent chipping away will get you better results than just a quick all-nighter the night before it's due. I think of activity the same way. If my workout is the marathon work session, the NEAT is just my "work for X time every day" approach. And NEAT beats exercise hands down, because I'm never famished after a walk. I'm never too tired for a walk.
Are your workouts too intense? Like, you seem to be following OPT's nutrition, but not exercise. Kinda a bad idea if the intensity levels differ. Assuming I'm understanding what you're doing, which I prolly don't.
I don't know about you, but my compulsive eating happens when I am tired or have something bothering me. I never had problems due to intensity of exercise. Of course it has been years since I did anything as intense as some of your workouts.
Roland, I think you are being too hard on yourself. You have kick-ass workouts, you look great, and you seem to be on top of the food issue, too. It's hard to be perfect all the time, so cut yourself a little bit of slack, 'kay?
