BermyGuy Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I am going to give this food blog thing a try in-addition to my own handwritten food journal. Day 1 has been very successful with some great dishes for all 3 meals...thanks to my AWESOME wife (BermyGirl)! She's a hell of a chef!!! No snacks between meals (4-5 hrs apart for each meal). Breakfast: Prosciutto & Egg Cups (prosciutto lined muffin cups with whipped eggs poured in) + 1 small serving of pomegranite berries + 2 cups of black coffee Lunch: Tuna fish bowl (1 cup canned tuna + 2 tablespoons homemade mayo + 1 hardboiled egg + 2 celery stalks) + water to drink Dinner: Spaghetti n' Meatballs (spaghetti squash + homemade tomato sauce + homemade meatballs) + water to drink Already looking forward to what day 2 brings!

ORBren Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 You are off to a great start! Thanks for the photos of your food -inspiring! Nice to live with a chef, I do too, but he is not W30 so the kitchen is divided - extra challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BermyGuy Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Day 2 off to a good start. A bit tired today as I couldn't seem to fully fall asleep until 6am (bed at 11pm!). Still charged to have another successful day! Breakfast: 2 Prosciutto & Egg Cups (prosciutto lined muffin cups with whipped eggs poured in) + 1 cup of black coffee + 1 large cup of water Walking 18 holes midday today so I wanted a larger breakfast than normal to keep the energy up and the cravings down. Lunch: 1Banana + 2 leftover meatballs from last night + water Dinner: Grilled chicken satay skewers with "Sunshine Sauce" (Well Fed pg. 45) + Grilled broccoli + water NOTE: For the sauce, we substituted almond butter and coconut vinegar (1/2 the recommended amt. of rice vinegar) and it is AWESOME! So flavorful and spot-on! Another very successful day! Even got a little exercise in by playing golf and walking 18 holes (ahh the joys of Bermuda in the "winter"! ) PS - Thanks for all the support thus far!
