A typical day of meals for me is two fried or boiled eggs in the morning with fruit or ham or turkey sausage. Lunch is a salad with bleu cheese, veggies, and chicken or seafood salad on it. Dinner is a fresh veggie or salad with baked or sauteed chicken, pork, or beef. Snacks are usually a tablespoon or two of peanut butter, a couple slices of turkey, fruit, or nuts. On the weekends, I’ll have chocolate or ice cream and a two or three gin martinis. I might have pasta or a slice of pizza once a month or every other month. Italian food is a major indulgence for me. I like it, but it really does not like me.

As you noted, you have to do what works for your life, schedule, and body. It has taken me a lot of trial and error. But this is what I know for sure: I feel sluggish and my system gets totally thrown out of whack when I eat pasta. I need to go to the gym at least 2x a week to feel good and maintain, I can’t drink alcohol daily and stay lean, I refuse to not enjoy my life.

Thanks for your comment!

Man, B, that is the LEAST, honey. If only we were closer. I value our friendship too. You’re one of the coolest chicks out there, hands down.
