    No goals yesterday, need to do a few things today. Bike ride is on the schedule, but the weather is not cooperating. Luckily, I have a Peleton, so I should be able to get my jam on regardless of the weather. Nothing much planned other than that.

    Glad to see the @Bex953172 is back and has had a great summer! Missed you girlie!

    Hour commitment - took meds with food, now I won’t eat again until 11:30. Going to see surgeon today for first post-op look at foot

    Eating healthy food, staying low cal. Accepting (trying to accept) that I may gain a little since I can’t exercise. But it shouldn’t be too bad. Hopefully this surgery will give me a foot that can continue to walk for years to come. Anyone who has fought to lose a significant amount of weight knows any weight gain can be frightening.

    It's often easy to become complacent when you work in a high hazard area. I mean we all know the dangers and safety is pretty tight around here, but every now and then something leaks and you aren't expecting it. Usually that just means you shelter in place until the hazmat team seals the leak. Sometimes however there is a human factor. Yesterday 3 employees had to be flown to UPMC (the is only hospital in the eastern US with the proper equipment) for monitoring and if needed treatment for a possible exposure to a deadly gas. Luckily, from what I hear none of the employees are experiencing symptoms which at this point is extremely good. If the exposure was going to cause damage to the lungs you usually know within 6 hours. It's been 18. Now it's time to figure out how it happened to prevent future issues. Wish us luck and pray for those in the hospital. It's very somber on plant today...

    Needless to say, I didn't get my ride in yesterday because I was at work until about 7:30 and after that I just chilled and waited for hubby to get home. He is directly involved in the mitigation of yesterdays incident, and didn't get home until 11:00pm.

    Today I am scheduled to run, aka walk fast, and I really need to get that in. I've missed a fair number of workouts lately.

    JFT Friday
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley:
    - Training :smiley:
    - Safety Pause with Operations
    - Go get Nomex
    - Home to walk doggo at lunch
    - Home by 2:00 or 3:00
    - Run/Walk
    - Shower
    - Dinner with hubby if he gets home at a reasonable hour
    - Maybe go shoot pool

    Just popping in to share the easiest possible recipe! You can hardly call it a recipe, really. I was craving some cauliflower rice mushroom risotto - well more like the idea of one. I had a recipe before that tasted fine - but to create the creaminess it required taking some of the cauliflower /mushroom mixture and making it a puree that you added to the dish. It didn't fool me, ha ha. Other recipes use heavy cream and butter - not for me - or want you to stir and reduce and take a lot of time like real risotto - not for me either, I am too lazy for that! I love Hungry Girl and she had a version that was super easy, but everything was basically boiled in one pot...nah, you gotta at least caramelize the onions right? So here's what I did:

    I had picked up some whole portobello mushrooms this morning while food shopping, so I lined a cookie sheet with foil, sprayed with olive oil spray and preheated the oven to 400 degrees. I removed the stems & fins and used a damp paper towel to wipe them down. I put them fin side up on the cookie sheet, gave the tops another spray of olive oil and seasoned with salt & pepper. I baked them for 15 minutes, removed from the oven to turn them over & empty out the liquid, and baked for 5 minutes more. (in retrospect I could have reserved that liquid to add to the "rice" - next time!)

    Meanwhile, I took frozen cauliflower rice & frozen chopped broccoli and cooked up 2 cups of each in the microwave. I diced a large onion & cooked it in a big pot with a little olive oil spray until it browned, added 1 tbs of chopped garlic and cooked one minute more. I added the cauliflower & broccoli to the onion along with 1 tsp Italian seasoning, turned off the heat and gave it a good mix along with a little salt & pepper. I divided into 3 portions, put two in the fridge then added a wedge of Laughing Cow cheddar cheese to the third and popped it in the microwave for 2 more mins (it was warm so it didn't take much, but probably making this cold it would need to nuke for maybe 2 minutes first before you add the cheese, then nuke 2 mins more). Gave the mixture a good mix, added 2 tbs of grated peccorino romano cheese, and topped with chopped roasted portobello. Because the LC cheese I had on hand was cheddar, it gave it a kind of mac & cheesy vibe...but I bet the Italian herb & garlic or plain swiss would be great too. But it was SUPER YUM, and very filling. OMG the roasted mushrooms made it! Why do I not roast mushrooms as food prep every week? So darn easy!!

    Anyway that is my long-winded tale of creating my own yummy little dish that'll give me 2 more meals during the week, without spending hours doing it! I can easily make this alongside any other more complicated food prep I'm doing. Yay!

    Hi all,
    I'm on day 3 of FAST800 and I feel weak. Is that normal? Yesterday I might have consumed about 1000 cal, not 800cal because I was so hungry and tired.

    I don't think I'm in ketosis yet because I haven't been super strict with carb. So not keto flu.

    I have to persevere through this phase to adapt.

    What do you guys do in this phase usually?

    Hi - this isn't a support board strictly for one diet plan or the other, it's just to set daily goals...but I actually am doing the Fast800 too - the first couple of days are hard, but by day 3 I was feeling good. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water! I'm not doing it as written necessarily, meaning I'm not trying to get into ketosis - I'm avoiding bread/grains but other than that I'm focusing on eating a ton of vegetables and drinking a TON of water. I'm doing the intermittent fasting so don't eat until 2pm, and that has helped a lot - so once I do start eating, my meals are satisfying. It's been working well for me even without trying to get into keto - so it's motivating without being something I can't sustain or am miserable with. I think if you were feeling especially weak you should absolutely add in the extra 200 calories, and it it persists maybe consider doing the other options from the plan - the 5:2 or 2:5 some other option where it's not 800 calories every day. Good luck!
