Going on 3 weeks with no Egg cooks and the immediate future does not look good either.
Too many events happening with kids sports/parties.
And I hate the winter! Too cold to stand by the grill and cook.
Tried the eat healthier starting 3 weeks ago and did some spatchcock chickens and sealed them in some food saver bags but no urge to open them up - not a leftovers person - tried but can't get over the hump due to reheating the foods always never taste that good. Did no carb for a week and let me say it was not good. Got very tired, irritated and to be honest - a PITA to find foods that do not have carbs readily available. Good thing I did not enter the weight loss competition as I have gained weight.
Looked at getting a small/mini but no one caries them locally to try weeknight smaller cooks. Mediums are the smallest they carry.
Come on warm weather so I can cook something good on the Egg again.

If I did not like Italian food so much this would be easy. Can not turn down pasta.
Tried Woking (indoors) and after two nights of Asian style stir fry I am done with that for a long time. Just not into it that much between the ginger, soy, Housin, etc.
Trying to add more veggies too and I thought I like peppers but my tastes have changed and I am sick of them now too for a while.
May try a low fat diet instead with portion control. Again that will last a week so who am I kidding. The main goal is(was) to drop allot of weight and especially get my blood numbers in check.

In all seriousness, if you do need to make a lifestyle change due to medical reasons getting as much exercise as possible is best. Even if it is walking 20 minutes a day to start and then upping the time each week.

When I made the food plans and shopping a few weeks ago we ate better. I have not had time so we are eating whatever and eating out or takeout. - Worst thing in the world if you are trying to loose weight. Restaurants are evil. I do not get full support at home so it makes it easier to go back to eating junk then preparing/cooking healthy meals. While I love the flavor of foods off of the EGG the amount of time to prepare/cook a meal on it is just too long for weeknight and weekend cooks. I need to set aside at least a few hours to use it and just have not had the time.
We did reheat some frozen spatchcock chicken last night as we have not gone food shopping. I had it sealed in a food saver bag. We reheated the chicken in the food saver bad in boiling water. The chicken still tasted like reheated frozen food and dried out. No benefit of using the foodsaver over a zip lock bag, It needed some sauce and that would have defeated the point of eating chicken (healthy).

"Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity, and are able to turn both to their advantage."
Turn your left overs into a new meal. Take the spatchcock and make some chicken burritos
I hate the cold and need to move south soon.
Just not setup for cooking outdoors in the winter. Its allot of work to use the Egg and add the cold - its not happening.

You will find plenty of stuff you can cook on the Egg. One time I was on the Atkins Diet for about three years and lost 50 lbs. Well, I lost most of it in the first six months, then I kept it off as long as I stayed on the diet.
Hmmmm. I guess I need to go back on it, myself.

I am surrounded by a lot of obstacles and any plan we have tried lasts only a week at most as we get busy and en up eating out at a restaurant/takeout. At work they buy lunch for us and who knows what is really in the meals they are making? Preparing meals in advance has not worked out as I can not stand leftovers. Most healthy foods I do not like. Limited in vegetables and I hate chicken.
I do not want to walk around all day hungy as that will just get me more aggregated to not eat right. Exercise is another disaster. Only time is I the middle if the night which is when I should be sleeping. Plus I have a foot issue that is killing me that I am trying to be figured out.
Enough ranting for now.
