Last Meals...

I've been on the Macro for a little over a week. I'm not sticking hardcore to it, I'm following the basic tenets and am avoiding all meat and most dairy. I've had a bit of flour and cheese once since I switched. But the switch is pretty much in place.

Now before the switch I made sure to have one last meal including all the foods I was going to have to give up. It lead me and Mems to Denny's one Sunday afternoon, so she could eat breakfast and I could have a greasy club sandwich with some fries. I've mentioned my love of club sandwiches before... so it was a perfect last meal.

So as I sat digesting all the meat and bread and cheese I won't be able to eat for some time I started thinking of last meals... which led me to this website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_meal

Some of my fave meals are the convicted killers who just ate tubs of ice cream pre-execution... like a pre-menstrual girl would while watching chick flicks (see Timothy McVeigh).

And I wonder if the ones that skipped the meal altogether meant it as a "Fuck You" to the system... like anyone cared.

I'm also fairly certain KFC would go out of business if prisons stopped offering final meals.. fried chicken (which I hate) is well represented.

So my last meal theoretically would be a Denny's Club... what would you want to eat one more time before you leave this mortal coil?

No diet rules apply... balls to the wall. I mean did you see the guy who ate 3 pizzas and some ice cream?

Be creative!

An expert...

I like to think myself an expert on certain foods. My comfort meal that I've ordered at restaurants all over town.

Specifically, I am a club sandwich guru. I've had them from at least 20 restaurants in green country. For the record Blue Dome still has my fave... but surprisingly Denny's is a close second.

I say that because today as I left the gym after 45 minutes of hell on the elliptical, knowing I was coming home to tuna salad, carrots and hummus all I could think about was the club sandwich I had at Campus Grill on Saturday. It was really yummy.

I avoided temptation and drove straight home to my healthy meal. I'm on day 3 of my clean diet. Avoided almost all processed foods and cut back on soda intake drastically. It's actually not as hard as I thought it would be. (Knock on wood)

I'm sticking to local fruits and veggies, raided the Reasor's produce department and stocked up on smart chicken. Aside from that long afternoon with no sugary snack I'm holding up.

I'm also using this as a chance to try more foods I've never had. Like the mango I have ripening on the bar... and the recipes I've been pulling out of Martha Stewart Living.

So.. toss out some suggestions peeps... help me broaden my healthy eating horizons.
