lol
okay
fenders,
FIRST, we open up a couple of three bottles of wine, two reds and one white--let them breathe a little bit--fill the glasses with fruit then add the wine
we place out a big bowl of cabonata, some chunks of parmesan, fresh cured sardines, spicy and sweet soppressata, olive oil and some good toasted bread...
eating and drinking the wine...
SECOND, we have a plate of pasta with marinara sauce, more bread and wine...
we open another bottle of wine, cause the two reds are gone--let's go for a bottle of rose, it'll mix well with the white
THIRD, we break out the meat, sausage, chicken and a little beef, it was cooking in the marinara so it's nice and saucy--more bread and wine
FORTH, more wine and we have a plate of green beans, fava beans and broccoli rabe, drizzle some olive oil and red wine vinegar on top
finish up the wine and eat the fruit...
FIFTH, we have a piece of whacky cake with a espresso and a little sambuca
let's have another espresso with sambuca...
now let's break out the limoncello and grappa, about 3 shots a piece, maybe 4
okay...we not done....let's break out the creamy limoncello....another 2 maybe 3 shots a piece...
that's about it--we're all done and down for the count

Getting me so hungry reading that! If we ever have a DGI forum gathering, that's what we're eating & drinking.

In January I started an aggressive New Year's resolution for exercise, and I did not budge a pound off my weight. I'd work out, get hungry, and eat. A couple weeks ago I stopped working out as much. Now I'm finally starting to see some weight loss. Go figure.
I am 61 years old, have been weight training for 48 years. The more I train with weights, my bodyweight stays up. The only way I can lose on the scale is running and bodyweight calisthenics. Some light weight training can also be included. It is weird but I finally figured out what works for me.
The weather is beautiful here in Boston now. I really need to start running 2-3 times a week.
I'm down from a high of 159 to 156.4. If I put as much effort into weight loss as I do my portfolio, I should make it to my goal weight of 137 right?
Progress update: it's coming off slowly, but I'm down to 153.6. Still a *long* way to go. Portion control is the biggest thing; I am trying to stop eating as soon as I feel content. I would really like to be back in the 140s by year's end.
