Re: Tastebud Thursday: A Variety of Whiskey

Scottervinkete — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 08:34:52 -0000

I'm primarily a Scotch drinker, but have been trying various Bourbons lately. I've only had Angels Envy of those above.* Love it. I'll have to try, at least, GJ.

Ever have Blantons Single Barrel? I'd had it a few years ago before I started to actively hone my whiskey appreciation. I rediscovered it last week and have a new appreciation for it. I highly recommend it.

Cheers!

*-Is that s "special" version of Jack? I've had "regular" Jack, of course.

This is the first time in years that I have not given up anything for Lent. For me, it was always about making personal sacrifice(s) to remind myself of the ultimate sacrifice the Lord made for me. I would give up food items, Coke, once I gave up text messaging, Facebook, etc. Maybe I didn't do it this year simply because I am struggling with my walk with Him. Who knows.

You put into words better than I could even begin to define what Lent can be as a growth experience.I've considered it thoroughly this year, and though I was raised Presbyterian/Catholic, I have never done any deprivations or introspection for the season until this year.
I expect your success, but I hope also that if you backslide you can forgive yourself as readily as you set goals.
For Lent this year, I'm starting a low-carb diet (in order to lose 15+lbs), going to class EVERY DAY, and I'm going to use more time for friends. I hope I don't fail myself.

These all sound very feasible for a man of your age and stature in life. I enjoy your writings so much, I can hardly wait for the next chapter. I really, really believe you NEED to pursue your writings and see what you 're led to publish. I !will be looking for the next saga in the life of Keith!

Low carb is the only thing that's ever worked for me. Lost 180 pounds and have kept it off but the minute I eat white flour/refined sugars I gain weight. Keep it up and good luck with the VDick (those are over-rated anyways my husband has one) cardio and low carb is the key.

They wouldn't be coming from most of the white creamy stuff anyway. I know how hard it is for you to say "no" to ranch.

I haven't had mayo or miracle whip in my fridge in months, and I have given up on ranch for my wings and stick to bleu cheese now.

That silverback violation feeling feels fantastic, nothing says, "I WORKED" than the silverback. :)

Keith — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:22:49 -0000

No, I will not. Even if I come out of the gym covered in sweat and walking with a traumatized look on my face and a wobble to my legs like I was just violated by a Silverback - no way do I carry around my protein shakes or a one gallon water container.

Thankfully, I know basic math and know how many ounces are in a gallon and how much liquid my water bottle and glassware hold.

We're in a similar range of carbs - I'm looking at about 20/30 a day based on my workout load - though I don't want any of them coming from white foods (sugar, flour, mayo, ranch, etc..)

Are you gonna be one of those dudes toting around a gallon jug of water? :)

I have been trying to cut carbs down to things that have 20-25g of carbs. I started last week and it showed up on the scale pretty well this week.

You'll get it as long as you don't see the next 8 weeks as torture. You will feel good after. :)

I do have a great deal of vegetation planned into my diet and won't be overdoing it on the protein. Ketosis is the goal but for a short amount of time (8 weeks).

I'm not being so anal about it (as maybe the post implies) that if my spinach salad has 4 carbs in it I won't eat it - this is as much to me about diet change (removing the refined sugars, cutting back on the white flour) as it is the weight loss.

I'm also shooting for about a gallon of water a day based on my activity levels that are planned since I refuse to drink diet soda or the diet sports drinks. I've read that will help with the excess protein and ease the strain on the kidneys.

Re: 8 Weeks and Dick V’s

Lindseyraed — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 12:36:52 -0000

Be careful. Your body needs some sort of carbohydrates... from things like vegetable sources and whole grains. Putting your body into ketosis (what eating no/low carb does) can be dangerous especially on your kidneys. I know you like to do things to the extreme, but excessive amounts of protein can be harmful. Please listen to your body and make sre you treat it right. I mean isn't the whole point of this is to become healthy?

I feel just like that looking at my father. He's 63 and declining. He did everything he could for me to persevere and I will. You will too, for your Gramma. Stop thinking. Enjoy your stay. :)
