5 27 2012 The 5 Bite Diet Day 13

Hey there, Hi there, Ho there! My Spirits and Energy levels are great.

So what do ya know Joe? Joe? Who in the heck is Joe anyway? OK was that an ice breaker or what? HA! Jeez I am showing my age........... Is that a bad thing? I say nay! Bold baby, bold! Right, comedy hour over and out.

Sorry Ladies and Gents, but I am in a rather good mood this morning. Chipper indeed! Today we celebrate my Mums 75th birthday. I am so excited. Why. Well it is a surprise party. So what are you making Dave? Inquiring minds want to know. Wow what a group! Well let me tell ya why dont I? I am going to make an Irish Coleslaw. It will go perfectly with the Fish Fry. I got what is supposed to be an authentic recipe. How authentic? Well who really knows.



OK if any of you folks out there comes from that part of the world or has knowledge of the recipe let me know. This is the list of the ingredients:


For the dressing:
1 tblsp rapeseed oil
1 tsp cider vinegar plus a bit extra for tossing on the apples
0.5 tsp mustard or more to taste
0.5 tsp honey or to taste
coarse salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the slaw:
approx. 125g carrot (about 1 med. sized carrot)
approx. 125g bramley apple (about ½ a large apple)
approx. 125g savoy cabbage (about ¼ of a small head of cabbage – any dark, tough, outer leaves removed)
2 spring onions, finely sliced
2-3 tblsp chopped flat leaf parsley
squeeze of lemon juice (optional)

OK, at least it should be interesting. Way different than the usual suspects around here in Texas. At least what I have been exposed too.

So here is the challenge to ME. By the time we get to the party at 1 pm, I would have had my Bulletproof Coffee already. So I will not have to eat at all until we get home. Unless that is we stay late. I dont see that happening but you never know. So there will be Dave surrounded by all kinds of yummy food. Have I ever mentioned that I just love deep fried foods? Well now you know. Deep Fried Fish, Shrimp, Hush Puppies, Fries and whatever. Of course there will be tons of other sides and sweets.

So what is this all about anyway. OK, my point is that we are going to be exposed form time to time to food being thrown at your face, but you have to stand your ground. You have to be strong. On the 5 Bite Diet you could easily mess up and go right back on the Diet the next day. Right? Well for me that would be WRONG! Why? Because I know myself all too well. That one day may turn into two or three or maybe even the "Deal Breaker". The lesson for today. If you know your limits why push it? Just my little two cents. I will do whats right for ME.


Results thus far:

(Please let me know if I mess up on my math below, I might add or subtract incorrectly)

Stellar results so far? No complaints here. I will keep trucking along and see. OK I will fess up and say that I had more than 5 Bites of the Grilled T-bone yesterday. To make things worse I must have gnawed on the bone for at least 10 minuets (bow wow). Was I hungry? No. Could I have stopped at 5 Bites......... Yes! Please dont ask why. There is no excuse. I dont believe in them. Only explanations. No worries here.

Have a Healthy Day my Friends and Family. Get Straight, Go Forward, Move Ahead.

Todays Menu: Black coffee, H20, Seltzer Water, Bulletproof Coffee and Fried Fish, Shrimp and (?) maybe.


Now Whip It

Cheers,

Dave
