I am bummed by the whole "ground meat must be at least 160" thing.

Is that true if I grind my own?

Doesn't it depend on the lean to fat ratio?

[mattman91]

Are you cooking? When should we be there?

Me? Cooking? You don't want that

Depends on the quality of the meat you are grinding. A self-ground burger cooked rare is... Sublime.

Had to put my kitty down this morning.

Right there with you today. Unfortunately, my Mason (2010-2017) was much shorter lived due to health issues.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Mason was a fortunate kitty to have you in his life.

RIP to both kitties.

Sucks losing pets.

Thanks. Yes, it does. I am doing things reflexively for him that were for his benefit. Opening windows, etc.

Yes. There are far bigger problems in the world today, but it still leaves a hole.

Indeed. I'm in the market for a small to mid sized rescue dog (or maybe cat).

Cats are awesome. So are dogs. Good luck!

Still eating cabbage soup? Do you get to eat some corned beef with it?

I am interested to know exactly what you are doing. And for how long.

[YmoBeThere]

Interesting to see that the Equifax thread has gone on so long.

I wish! Today was the last day. Hit my 10 pound goal right on the money.

It is a short term diet that is centered around cabbage soup. The goal is to do it for a week then immediately go on a healthier, well balanced diet. I'm cutting out the soda, junk food, fried food, and red meat - not entirely, but drastically reducing my consumption. Still saving room/calories for ymm, beer (obviously) but drinking in more moderation. That will be the hardest part. Not that I am an alcoholic, but you know how I am about my craft beer Speaking of, we still need to grab a pint soon!

I had a short term diet this weekend that consisted of only Twinkies.

It lasted about 45 seconds. No significant changes in weight were noted.

As soon as my wife and I recover from this dang crud we have been fighting, it is on our list to try. Any tips?

Now that sounds like a fun diet to try!
