What's Cookin? Da Bears edition

I’m working (again). Gonna go in with a coworker or two and DoorDash something, so still undecided.

 

Bunch of canned vegetables (corn, peas, carrots) that were approaching expiration date,with turkey sausage, cooking up in vegetable broth in the crock pot. Seville Orange decaf from Allegheny Coffee in the Strip.
Got surgical staples out today, feeling much better, still eating healthy. With that and exercise, I’ve lost half my body weight.

 

Left over pizza and a few of these!

Go Steelers!!!

 

Sounds nasty, the surgery and recovery that is. Wish you well my friend. Was that much weight loss anticipated/intentional? I lost about 1/5 my body weight last year in about 6 months simply by ridding my pantry and freezer of everything that was bad for me and never restocking it. OK - maybe a little but not like I used to do. Sure helped all my blood chemistry and glucose readings. Finally. what does your screen name mean? Never mind. I just re-read it carefully. A double tribute to the late Yinzer himself.

 

Nice menu.

 

Good For You.

 

It was my third neck surgery, on Oct 18 they fused C3 to C7 in my neck with a plate and screws. It was not that bad compared to the pain I was in before.
Yes, the weight loss was intentional. I weighed 307 at my peak and now weigh 156. I had a young son and feared that I might not see him grow up. He graduates with his masters next month!
I am now lean and mean, and plan to compete in a geezer bodybuilding contest. I have gone from size 46 pants to size 32 (and still shrinking).
The joke is that if I get to 152 pounds it could lead to my sudden death, because if I weigh one pound less than my significant other, she will hit me in the head with an iron skillet.
Sorry to hijack the thread, but maybe it will be of value to someone on this board.

Happy eating and football watching!

 

Hell Do it, but We still got like 2 hours till the game.

 

Braum's, chicken strip dinner

 

Ray - I gotta admit - I'm not sure which avatar gives me more thrills - yours or Lambert's.

And by all means - go home, now! Tell them some very powerful, knowledgeable and influential people advised you to do so. You can make it up later this week.

 

Steaks on the grill pre-game. Chips and homemade salsa game time.
