Breakfast Burritos

I was going to take some pics to share with someone, mostly so they could get an idea of proportions, etc. and save me a lot of descriptive typing. I decided, I could share the pictures here, then others could see also. This is going to be a picture heavy post, if you have a slow connection, you might want to skip this one.

Edit: I should add, that when I am not feeling too lazy, I add some chopped onion and cilantro to this, if I am not adding fresh salsa  that already has those in it. Also, sometimes I use french fries, or tater tots, or scalloped potatoes instead hf hash browns.

Looks very tasty!

I think I would eat the filling and skip the tortilla or skip the hash brown and have the tortilla. That is just me though I have to start watching my starch in take.

I watch my starch intake some, and my sweets and fats. I have lost over 100 pounds, still a few to go though. For me, part of what makes losing weight a bit easier, is to not deny myself every thing I like, instead, I use these things as a bit of a reward for doing well on my diet efforts. Otherwise it is the self denial, that is tempting me to fail!

Sort of like what Paul said in 1 Cor 7 about abstinence in marriage!

Well, to go from 330 to 220 took about 19 years, but there were some ups and downs during that time. Most of that time, I hovered in the 265 to 280 range. In March of 2017, I weighed 265 pounds, and decided to lose weight by watching my diet. It took me 10 days then to drop 14 pounds. Then I stayed in the 250 to 255 pound range for the next 2 weeks. I had leveled off and my diet was no longer effective at losing weight, and I stopped trying really, but stayed on my diet and maintained that weight for a long time. About a year ago, maybe more, I decided to lose weight again. My next goal wast to hit 225 as I recall. I tried to average about 1200 calories a day, 6 days a week, and ate pretty much what I wanted on Sundays - my reward for being "good" the rest of the week. I did hit that goal (but I do not recall how long it took). I set a new goal of 206 pounds. I seem to have gotten stuck again at about 220 pounds.

I don't want to cut the calories any further, for the sake of nutrition. 1200 is not a lot of daily calories for a 6'4" man. The two basic elements in weight loss and gain, are calories that you eat, and calories that you burn. Of course, you can gain or lose weight in the form of water retention or water loss, I am not talking about that, but actual fat gain and loss.

My plan now, is to increase the exercise, but burning calories away with exercise, takes a lot of exercise. I cannot realistically do that with my current medical issues and sedentary life style. So, if and when I get my respiratory and cardio systems back to better functioning, bicycling, walking and other methods are in my plans, we'll see!

My not carved in stone goal date (too many unknown factors right now) is January 2020.

Addendum, just a thought . . . 

While I have always used hash browned  potatoes, I would bet that using "Tater-Tots" would give the same result. and a lot easier! 

Also. sometimes I scramble the eggs, but but doesn't see to alter the taste and just adds a small about of work.
