40 Day Fast

[joopster]

I don't know if it's strong or dumb.  But if you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough.

Why not? Joopster has posted at least 5X more food pics in this thread than the rest of us combined.

Day 8 - still on track.

 

[joopster]

I have been browsing pictures of smokes all morning long - this is getting hard!

 

[joopster]

OK then, I make a "steak tartare" (with all grass fed New Zealand strip steak - the fat trimmed off and then seared and chopped later as "cracklings" that are then added into black rice with smoked mango) and yet if someone takes their meat WELL DONE then they will fast another 40 days and just by glance! Smiles.

(It's in our beef section some ways back - since the mango is SMOKED - should anyone wish for the recipe).

Despite those who wish for their meat to be cooked through, if any "raw fans" are out there, this is FANTASTIC!!!!

OK then, carry on!

Cheers!!! - Leah

Keep'm coming - day 10.

I ordered everything I need to build my mini WSM - I should have it all done by the time I can fire it up!

Day 11 - getting hungry 

Walked in door and my wife had made some low calorie pasta with sausage and tomato's.  It smelled delicious.

Got on scale 186 - so losing weight.  Yes some of it is water but getting game plan together for lifestyle change when complete.

I am looking forward to having some of the smoked cheese I made last week!

No more q-view?  Ya'll letting me down!

Two weeks. Really would like to eat but willpower is killing the desire.

Not quite halfway. Not sure if I can make it much more than 25... This is tough.

Since your actual goal was to lose 15 or 20 pounds, going 40 days should really not be important. IMHO

I agree somewhat.

15 days down. Iowa state was a let down....
