A Store BBQ Score

Saturday, June 6, 2026

Ahh, yes.  Saturday.  Time for some of that fresh air and exercise I don't get during the week.

Another weird night of sleep.  Same story, was not tired, could not get to sleep, it was about 1:00 before I did.  And I knew the alarm was going off at 6:00.  Thankfully it's been an okay day and other than running out of gas on the last hole a bit I have felt fine.  Scale, to my disappointment, was minimum up.  It's not anything close to a big deal, but when you are this fat and you've been on plan, seeing an increase, even one that's a tiny fraction of a pound, is deflating.  We'll see what two days with carby meals does - breakfast today, dinner tomorrow.

Breakfast:  2 eggs over medium, 3 strips bacon, hash browns, raisin toast w jam, coffee

 

The standard.  A very fine effort.

Lunch:  12 oz Miller Lite

Post-golf.  I was not hungry.

Dinner:  Brisket w G Hughes SF bbq sauce

 

Just grocery store brisket but my guy hooked me up, four fat slices for $9.  Easily two meals worth, could be three if I stretched it at all.

 

Had a few celery sticks with some Daisy ranch dip - clean and surprisingly low carb. 

 

And the capper, some SF butterscotch pudding for dessert. 

Exercise:  18 holes with cart.  Not a huge amount of walking but enough.  Pleased to not be more tired.

Mostly Noteless

Friday, June 5, 2026

Looking forward to the weekend but need to get through the day first.  Off to a slow start after another screwed up sleep schedule.  Again didn't get to sleep until around 1:00.  Woke up slightly before my alarm at 7:00 but it took a while to get going.

Nothing of note otherwise.  Scale down, system seems to be functioning more or less normally.  Not as much water loss as I might expect but it's still been fairly substantial.  You always wish it could go faster.

Breakfast:  Sausage wrap, coffee

 

Again.  Thought about making a steak wrap instead but did not have time.  I was not hungry when I woke up and if I had full control over my day I probably would not have eaten for a couple hours.

Lunch:  McD 2x McDoubles minus bun, ketchup and mustard.  Coke Zero

I really need a better on the go option but this did do the trick,  No bun consumed, just patties, pickle and onion. 

Dinner:  Leftover steak in butter, ranchero beans, guacamole, a few jalapenos, 12 oz Yuengling

 

I was psychologically hungry but not actually hungry when I got home so it was a good thing that I did not have anything snackable.  I would have eaten way too many nuts or pork rinds.  Leftovers were okay.  Cleaned up a jar of jalas.

Exercise:  Nope.  Mostly level energy today, just one small dip as I was getting home.  Improving, I think, and should be close to ready to walk.

What This Again

Thursday, June 4, 2026

The sleeping, it's getting even worse.

Didn't get to sleep until after 1:00.  Wasn't remotely sleepy even then, though I finally conked out.  It appears to be a nice side benefit of an improved diet that I'm not sleepy, but it's wrecking my schedule.  And then I woke up at 2:00 for a truck that visits most nights about that time with an overly loud backup beeper, at 3:45 for a minor foot cramp.  Solved that by throwing on a blanket to warm the legs and managed to sleep until almost 6:00.  The good news is that so far, anyway, I am not overly tired.  Felt okay when I got up, nothing like yesterday.  I'll probably crash later, but we'll see.

Scale down but not as much.  Otherwise today is off to a solid start.

Breakfast:  Sausage wrap, coffee

 

In a hurry.

Lunch:  Double cheeseburger no bun, mustard & jalapenos.  Meijer hot dill spears

 

Out of swiss so I went with pepper jack.

Dinner:  Sirloin steak, Siete refried ranchero beans, 12 oz Yunegling, peanuts

 

 

LOL, I had the peanuts and beer when I got home, then dozed off.  Didn't start making the steak until almost 7:30.  Oops.  Anyway, the steak did the job even if it wasn't great as far as steak goes.  We'll see how the leftovers do.  Liked the beans, ate about 1/3 of the can.

Exercise:  Nope.  I do think I might be improving enough to start with some walking.  If I can go the rest of today and tomorrow without any interludes of feeling like death, it will be time.

Another Lack Of Conversion

Wednesday, June 3, 2026

No, I don't really want to turn this into a sleep blog, but that's been what's on my mind lately.

Got to sleep about 11:30.  Slept straight through until a few minutes before 6:00.  Great.  Felt decent, disposed of some water, sat back down.  About fifteen minutes later I was ready for more sleep.  Very ready.  So I tried.  And, once again, failed miserably.  I really was sleepy but just could not convert it into actual sleep.  Finally started dozing once we got into it's-past-time-to-get-up snooze time, so I was predictably late getting going.  Feeling okay since, but good grief. 

Scale was down smartly, although it didn't feel like there was extreme water removal there must have been a decent amount. So that's good news.

Breakfast:  Sausage wrap, coffee

 

Again.  Only difference was using Pace sauce instead of fire sauce.

Lunch:  Double cheeseburger no bun, avo oil mayo, olives

 

Again.

Dinner:  Rotisserie chicken, Meijer hot dill spears, 12 oz Yuengling, peanuts

Hit Meijer after work so I wanted something fast.  Which is what I got.   Ate too many peanuts, need to not keep them within reach.

Exercise:  Nope.  I was pleased that I felt better this afternoon - I felt lousy when I left to go back to work after lunch but that passed quickly.

You Only Get Six

Tuesday, June 2, 2026

Well, day one was successful.  It was also frustrating.

The eating was better.  I was not hungry.  No notable cravings.  No soda.  By evening I was already feeling better physically, it's amazing what a single day can do when you are in this kind of bad shape.  All good things.  I knocked several things off my to do list, quite a bit more than I usually get done in the evening.

The frustration, once again, was around sleep.  I had plans to go to bed early.  I thought I would need to go to bed early given the fatigue earlier in the day and bad sleep the night before.  Instead, I did not get any kind of after dinner crash and as the hours wound on I just was not sleepy.  Oh I fought it at the very end, but once it got past midnight I was able to shut down.  And when I woke up at six I was predictably not completely rested.  It's been okay once I got going but sheesh.  I can't get enough sleep and even when I take the time to try I can't sleep.  I get six hours and I guess it has to be enough.

 So, anyway, the scale was down nicely, seems like a little water release is underway though nothing too extreme.  On with day two.

Breakfast:  Sausage wrap, coffee

 

Same as yesterday, except with ultra thin cheddar instead of pepper jack.

Lunch:  Bunless double cheeseburger w avo oil mayo and olives

 

Again.  Even better than yesterday.  A bit less mayo, new package of patties, otherwise the same.

Dinner:  Chef salad w ranch, 12 oz Miller Lite, Planters dry roasted lightly salted peanuts.

 

Not sure there is a good Tuesday night solution.   This was one of the better salads I've had, but still, seed oil dressing and my stomach wasn't terribly thrilled.  Stopped and picked up some peanuts to settle things down.

Exercise:  9 holes with cart, some extra walking.  It was a very nice evening.  I would say I felt pretty good about 2/3 or 3/4 of the time and absolutely awful - weak, tired, just bad - the rest.

Futility Full Stop

Monday, June 1, 2026

Well that's not how you want to start your week.  Went to sleep around 10:30.  Woke up at 4:45.  Too awake, this is not good.  After a half hour or so I was ready to go back to sleep ... or so I thought.  Instead, what followed was two hours of NOT sleeping.  It was not restful.  At all.  It was just complete futility.

So on that cheerful note, let's have a day.  Hey at least the scale was down.

Going to attempt some dietary changes.  Looks like I need to try some low carbing, while acknowledging that life exists.  If I can follow the 80/20 rule, that means no more than 4 off plan meals - three will be Tuesday dinner, Saturday breakfast and Sunday dinner.  But it remains to be seen how it goes.  One way or another I need to lose some significant weight and it's not going to be exercise driven, at least not right now.  One thing that needs 100% compliance is no regular soda, that's been a problem.

Breakfast:  Sausage wrap, coffee

 

Did not cook up any bacon, so I had one Meijer sausage patty, 2 slices of pepper jack and a packet of fire sauce in an Ole zero net carb wrap.  As usual it did the job.

Lunch:  Bunless double cheeseburger w swiss, avo oil mayo, olives

 

Again, just with no bread or butter.  I was informed that today was national olive day so I decided to make my burger an olive burger.  Also, I need better lighting for my photos, it was better than it looks.

Dinner:  Leftover steak, 2 eggs over medium both cooked in butter, guacamole, 12 oz Yuengling 

 

Not a lot of food.  That's a dinnertime goal. 

 Exercise:  Nope.  On a positive note, while I was exhausted for much of the day, I am feeling better this evening and will even get a couple household chores done.  Hoping to crash early.

And The Last

Sunday, May 31, 2026

Hard to believe May is going to be over already.  Went by quickly.  And, uh, not successfully.

Feeling much more rested so far today.  In addition to a fairly lengthy nap yesterday I was able to sleep from 11:30 until 5:30, then dozed until 8:00 or so.  It would take more days to get truly caught up, but the difference is still notable.

Plenty to do today so I probably should get moving.

Breakfast:  Leftover LC pep pizza

Happy to have something low effort on hand, even if it wasn't anything 'good'.

Lunch:  Taco salad, mexican coke

 

Filling. 

Dinner:  Steak, asparagus, chips, 12 oz Miller Lite

 

Sunday dinners. 

Also McDouble, fries, coke. 

Exercise:  9 holes with cart, felt really good to get outside.

Upsized Fatness

Saturday, May 30, 2026

I was pretty sure the scale would be up when I woke this morning.  It was.  Felt dense.  Tired, since I got about five and a half hours of sleep.  And yet, once I got going I felt decent.  And it was sure nice to get some fresh air and exercise.  Need to do more of that.  Somehow.

Anyway, it's been a pretty good day.  Got in a nap even.

Breakfast:  2 eggs over medium, 3 strips bacon, hash browns, raisin toast w jam, coffee

 

Standard.  Different location today.  It was fine.

Lunch:  12 oz Miller Lite, chili cheese dogs, fries, coke

Mid-afternoon, I was hungry.

Dinner:  Mexican cornbread w chorizo chili, chorizo taco, mexican coke

 

And I had some donuts somewhere in there too.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart.

No Answers, As Usual

Friday, May 29, 2026

Good thing it is Friday.  I don't have much in the tank.

I've mapped out menu plans for this week and next three or four times.  I keep changing them, both because I end up eating off plan and also because I'm just wandering aimlessly in the world of diet.  I have plans (which change constantly) but don't stick to them.  Nothing seems to feel right.  Maybe if I picked something and stuck to it I would break out of this rut.

Not much else of note.  Scale up due to bad eating, sleep OK but never enough.

Breakfast:  Sausage sandwich, coffee

 

I think if I go back to eating this or bacon on a zero/super low carb wrap it's fine.  I'm not usually super hungry but a few hundred calories seems to be beneficial.

Lunch:  McD big mac, fries, mcdouble, coke

If I choose the low carb route I've been pretty happy with the burgers, so maybe I just ditch the bread and pick up a fork.  I should not need to continue eating out on Fridays for lunch, that's a temporary work issue.

Dinner:  Qdoba brisket bowl, chips and queso, coke/pepsi

Slop bowl.

Exercise:  Nope.

Ongoing Failures Of Will

Thursday, May 28, 2026

Not only is the flesh weak, the spirit is not willing.

It's a struggle right now.  I had a very hard time getting going this morning and took a little personal time to start the day.  That isn't going to help the work crunch.  It would also be nice if I could solve this ADD/switching exhaustion issue.

But trudge onward we shall.  Not enough sleep, minimum gain on the scale.

Breakfast:  Sausage breakfast sandwich, coffee

 

I did not cook up bacon as planned last night, so it'll be more sausage.

Lunch:  Cheeseburger, Meijer hot dill pickle chips

 

Again.  Happy national hamburger day.  Went single patty again due to late breakfast.

Maybe next week I'll start doing some more meal downsizing.  Might try fewer, smaller meals within my eating window. 

Dinner:  LC Pep, crazy bread w sauce, pepsi, Culver conc mixer

 Work.

Exercise:  Nope.

Estimated Fatigue

Wednesday, May 27, 2026

I was pondering this morning what percentage of time I am fatigued lately.  Not just a little tired, I'm talking a can-barely-move life sucking kind of fatigue.  Initial estimate was 90% but I think that's high.  I am definitely fatigued way more often than usual or that I should be, but it's not quite that much.  Some of it is that it is more random.  Today I felt okay when I got up, was super fatigued getting out the door, recovered, was super fatigued, had a snack and have felt fine since.  

Something isn't right, I can tell.  I just cannot tell you what.  I also feel strange at times when I'm talking to people in meetings.  It's like having low blood sugar and maybe it is, but it happens at times where I wouldn't really expect a problem with that.

It's a mystery.  Anyway.  Mediocre sleep, scale flattish - I've been in a very narrow range this month.

Breakfast:  Sausage sandwich, coffee

 

Again.

Snack:  McDouble, Coke.  Didn't make it to lunch for whatever reason.

Lunch:  Home cheeseburger

 

Removed a patty due to the snack and not being too hungry.

Dinner:  Dominos philly steak, bread bites, coke

Ate WAY too much.  Argh.

Exercise:  Nope.

A Very Long Hour

Tuesday, May 26, 2026

Here we go, back to reality.

Today kicked off with one of the weirder starts in recent memory.  I woke up some time before 6:00, resisted the urge to look at the clock for a bit.  When I did, it was just after 6:00.  My alarm was set for 7:00, so I knew I had an hour.  Usually that time passes in a blink, whether I'm able to go back to sleep or not.  The only way it goes faster is if I'm scrolling.  Regardless, it is NEVER slow.  Except today it was.  I did not have a lot of success going back to sleep but did doze some.  And the clock just barely moved.  Ended up giving up ten minutes early.

One of the various little things I should do is make a better effort at being accurate.  I write down weights in the morning when I take them, but end up pulling from memory when I post.  Which is not so accurate.  I could do better.  At least I remembered this morning's number correctly.

Breakfast:  Sausage sandwich, coffee

 

Did not get around to cooking up the bacon over the weekend, so sausage it is.  I also bought the most enormous loaf of rosemary italian bread - seriously this thing must be 3 pounds.  Cut a slice in half for the sandwich and I'll be able to do the same with most of the loaf for burgers.

Lunch:  Cheeseburger, Meijer hot dill pickle chips

 

Again.  This time with pepperjack.

Dinner:  French dip, popcorn, pepsi

Usual sandwich.  No beer this week though, didn't earn it.

Exercise:  9 holes with cart

Memorialized

Monday, May 25, 2026

Nice to have the extra day.  Did not get much sleep last night, it was after 1:30 before I dozed off and the alarm went off at 6:00.  Need to crash early tonight.

Otherwise nothing of note.

Breakfast:  Standard pregolf breakfast

 

Again.

Lunch:  12 oz Miller Lite, cashews, Whopper, fries, coke

Hungry post golf.

Dinner:  Hot dog/brat w MR, some kind of sausage pasta dish, chips, salad, blueberry pie and ice cream

Birthday party.  Ugh ate too much.  Drinking a Topo Chico to try and settle it. 

Exercise:  18 holes with cart.  Ample walking.  Pedometer says 6200 steps, seems lowish.

132.6 

Soggy Stop

Sunday, May 24, 2026

Very glad to have the extra day this weekend.  Did, quite literally, nothing this morning.  Woke up about 5:00, tried without a great deal of success to get more sleep, got up again about 8:30, dawdled the entire rest of the morning only fixing toast and coffee.  Absolute minimum effort.

Plan was to golf this afternoon but rain had other ideas which, frankly, is probably for the best.  Going to go pick up my office instead.

Breakfast:  Toast w butter, leftover Utz hoops mix, lemon snaps, coffee

All carbs all morning and I predictably feel like shit.

Lunch:  2x McDouble, Coke

 Very late lunch, needed protein.

Dinner:  Sack of Taco Bell, pepsi

 Meh.

Exercise:  Nope.

A Small Turn For The Better

Saturday, May 23, 2026

I thought it might be a washout this morning, but instead it turned out to be a pretty nice day.  That's a win.  It wasn't full midsummer or anything, but the rain stopped and it warmed up some when the sun came out.  I'll take it.

Not much else of note.  Slept okay.  Scale up some after a bad day of eating.

Breakfast:  2 eggs over medium, hash browns, 3 strips bacon, raisin toast w jam, coffee

 

The standard.

Lunch:  12 oz Yuengling, McDouble, Spicy snack wrap, coke, Utz Hoops Mix

Hungrier than expected.

Dinner:  Taco salad w chorizo, mexican coke

 

Salad was very heavy on the rice, not so much on the vegetables.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart.  Not crazy walking but enough.

Measured Fail

Friday, May 22, 2026

Very glad it is Friday and even better a Friday leading into a holiday weekend.  It should be relatively quiet and maybe I'll get something done.

Disappointed to fail yesterday.  Left work and cracked.  Dinner remains the toughest nut.  At least on the bright side the scale was up only the minimum this morning.  Now I just have to figure out today's lunch.  Work has a way of making things inconvenient.

Didn't go to sleep as early as I had hoped, but managed around 10:30.  Woke at 3:30, back to sleep at 4:30, woke at 6:45, snoozed.  More rested than yesterday but not rested. 

Breakfast:  Bacon wrap, coffee

 

Same as yesterday.  Eaten later than usual.

Lunch:  McD 2x mcdouble

On the road at lunch time.

Dinner:  Italian beef, fries, pepsi, bar chips

Tasty but very bad for me.

Exercise:  Nope.  I am notably dragging.  This is concerning.  At least I felt better after noon.

Home Shrinkflation

Thursday, May 21, 2026

Not a blazing start to the day.  For whatever reason I was not sleepy last night and it was well after midnight before I dozed off.  Too much scrolling.  Definitely should compel myself to shut things down, if I lie there thinking so be it but I don't need the electronic assist.  Predictably tired when I got up and it's a good thing I don't have anything too ambitious planned.

Scale was down, which was nice.  The CICO/carb tracking I did yesterday suggested a small drop was likely, I got more than that.  Not that I needed more proof, but it's additional evidence that the system isn't that simple.  I do think I need to reduce the carbs which would likely also knock down the calories.  The solution I have in mind is to cut the giant sized mid-loaf slices of bread in half, meaning I still eat a burger just with about half as much bread.  We'll see if that flies.

I don't think I needed to eat that much last night, though I was never uncomfortable.  The chicken did a better job of filling me up than I expected, I could have skipped the rest. 

Breakfast:  Bacon wrap, coffee

 

Shaved a few calories here, had 5 strips of bacon and 3 slices of cheese left for two days, so I end up with half a strip and half a slice less each day.  Seriously, who puts 9 slices of cheese in a package?

Lunch:  Cheeseburger, Meijer hot dill pickle chips

 

Same lunch.  And given that I picked up a bunch of frozen beef patties, it will continue to be.

Dinner:  Dominos parm crust pan pep jala

FAIL.

And a few mini choc and butterscotch chips. 

Exercise:  Nope.  Looking forward to the weekend.

And Then Not So Much

Wednesday, May 20, 2026

Yeah, not nearly as much aliveness this morning.  Back to the usual.  Woke up about 6:30, needed more sleep, did not get more sleep despite trying hard.  Current theory is that eating too late last night had something to do with it - I finished my sandwich between 8:30 and 9:00 and had the popcorn after that.  Fell asleep probably about 10:30, but since it was spontaneous not sure exactly.

Anyway, going to try and make sure it's not a problem tonight.  Scale ticked down slightly and other than the tiredness feeling OK.

ETA:  I calculated the calories and carbs of what I ate today, about 2600 calories and 130 carbs.  Breakfast was about 400, lunch and dinner 1100 each.  Carbs about evenly divided between lunch and dinner.  Based on my lack of exercise, that's only very slightly less than a rough estimate of my BMR.  If I exercised a few times a week it could easily be a 1,000+ calories per day deficit.  Not that I'm a big calorie counter.

Breakfast:  Bacon wrap, coffee 

Same.

Lunch:  Home cheeseburger, Meijer hot dill pickle chips

 

Same.  Using the frozen patties is a game changer, this is < 10 minutes to prepare which is less time than it takes to drive to a fast food place and pick up a burger.  Great taste-to-effort ratio.

Dinner:  Real Good Foods chicken nuggets w CFA ranch cup, toast w butter, 12 oz Yuengling

 

Impulse buy since I had to go to Meijer.  They were edible.  Which is good because I have half a bag left.  Decided yesterday to do some home taco salads next week.  Ate some toasted bread scraps as I packaged up the rest of my loaf for the freezer.

 

And the capper, the leftover lemon NSA pudding.

Exercise:  Nope.  Creeping closer, maybe if I start small I can make it routine even when I'm not up to big workouts.  Not a lot of pep today.

128.8 

More Aliveness

Tuesday, May 19, 2026

A positive start to the day.  I was a little later than I had hoped getting to bed last night, finally sleeping about 10:30.  Some of that was I actually got a couple things done, but much of it was the usual scrolling.  A habit I really should break.  But anyway.  Slept okay and woke up about 5:00 feeling reasonably rested.  I did half-doze until alarm time, but it wasn't the usual unsuccessful striving to get desperately needed additional sleep.  I won't say I feel all caps great or anything, but I definitely am more alive for lack of a better word.

Still fairly pleased about yesterday's eating.  No binge, no suffering.  Scale was kind, a bit more of a drop than I would have expected given that there was no massive outflow of water.  But when you're superfat you tend to lose in chunks just by being not insane or even just less insane.

Let's have another day.

Breakfast:   Bacon wrap, coffee

 

Same wrap - Ole zero net carb tortilla, 2 slices OF smoked cheddar, 3 strips bacon, Pace cilantro lime sauce.  Tastes good and it's enough.

Lunch:  Home cheeseburger, Meijer hot dill pickle chips

 

Same burger.  Once again very good.

Pregolf snack:  McDouble 

Dinner:  French dip, 12 oz Miller Lite, popcorn

 

Usual.  Plus a bag of popcorn for salt.

Exercise:  9 holes with cart

New Crawlers

Monday, May 18, 2026

Here we go again.  Another week.  Off to a slow start due to poor sleep.  At least I am less fatigued so far.  That's encouraging.

Hoping to start some changes.  We'll see how that goes.  Slowly would be my guess.  Scale up today after way too many carbs and calories yesterday.

Was amused this morning to see view counts bump up on posts, welcome new web crawlers.

Breakfast:  Breakfast wrap, coffee

 

Trying something different.  This is an Ole 'zero net carb' tortilla, 3 strips of bacon, 2 slices of OF smoked cheddar and a little Pace cliantro lime sauce which I impulse bought because it had no seed oils.  Pretty tasty.  I will try with an Egglife wrap instead at some point but the grocery store I have been frequenting lately does not seem to carry them.

Satiety was very good.  Let's hope that repeats. 

Lunch:  Home double cheeseburger, Meijer hot dill pickle chips

 

Frozen burger patties work pretty well other than being a lil messy.  This was two 1/4 lb patties, 2 slices of Sargento natural American, a little jalapeno mustard, buttered toasted bread.  Very tasty.  Plan is to really push to make lunch the main meal, ample protein.

I was very full after lunch and satiety again was excellent. 

Dinner:  2 eggs over medium, 1 Meijer sausage patty, ~ 1 C hash browns in EVOO, 12 oz Miller Lite

 

A bowl 'o breakfast.  Tried to keep the portions in check, less of everything.  Can even scale down the hash browns further I think.  Also:  I'm going to need to come up with another plan, given that I won't want to heat my kitchen so much this summer.  Might have to do charcuterie lol.

 

And the capper, NSA lemon pudding. 

Overall a decent day.  Too many carbs - bread plus hash browns plus milk - but a start is a start.   

Exercise:  Nope.  Felt better today, thankfully, but no exercise.

Outage Again

Sunday, May 17, 2026

A little disappointment today.  Didn't get enough sleep.  Not enough protein.  Had a power outage on the golf course.  Frustrating.

Still it was nice to be outside.

Breakfast:  Ramen, toast, coffee

Yeah, all carbs and weird.

Lunch:  Chorizo egg casserole

Small portion, it was meh.

Dinner:  Sack of taco bell, pepsi.

It was mostly terrible.

Will have some ginger snaps and a glass of milk since I did not end up having any last night.

Exercise: 12 holes w cart.  Ugh.

Outside Is Good

Saturday, May 16, 2026

Almost certainly the nicest weekend day we've had so far this season.  And you could tell people have spring fever, everywhere I went was super busy with people just being outside.

Not a day for great accomplishments.  Golf, errands and groceries have accounted for nearly 11 hours of the day so far.   No expectation that I'm going to get much more done either.  Scale was up.

On the plus side I have been fighting with my coffee maker for weeks, today for some reason it cooperated and gave me a full cup of perfect coffee without issue.  Huh. 

Breakfast:  2 eggs over medium, 3 strips bacon, hash browns, raisin toast w jam, coffee

 

The standard.  Solid. 

Lunch:  A few cashews, 12 oz Miller Lite

Post golf.

Dinner:  Cheeseburger, fries w ketchup, mexican coke

Way way way too many fries.  From the local 5G knockoff.  Good stuff.

Will probably have a Pepsi, some ginger snaps and a glass of milk later, but we'll see.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart.  Got in a solid amount of walking.  Felt fairly terrible early, but after a while notably better.  Exercise is good.

Half Already

Friday, May 15, 2026

And just like that another week is done and we are (gulp) halfway through May.

One of those frustrating mornings where I woke up at 5:00 and just could not get back to sleep.  Tried hard, failed.  Sigh.  I should just resign myself to getting up and getting going.

Had another idea for the plan today.  Will see if I can put in play. Need to do something.

Breakfast:  Breakfast sandwich, coffee

 

Again.  Almost forgot the photo.  Bread was from the freezer, worked fine.

Lunch:  Big mac, mcdouble fries Coke

On the road.

Dinner:  Qdoba brisket bowl, chips and queso, coke

Excessive.

Exercise:  Nope

Revisions Soonish

Thursday, May 14, 2026

Okay going to try a new plan.  Not today, since I had stuff thawed, but next week.  Hopefully.  It's so hard to plan more than a few hours ahead right now.

Would have liked more sleep.  Felt like I could have gone back to sleep after waking and disposing, but it would have only been for a half hour or less so I didn't.  We'll see if I pay tonight.  Or sooner.

Breakfast:  Breakfast sandwich, coffee

 

A bit less cheese, a bit more bacon.

Lunch:  Taco rice, jalapenos, simply doritos nacho flavor

 

Way too many Doritos.

Dinner:  Pizza Hut thin pep ham beef pork onion, breadsticks, pepsi

Need a work solution.

Exercise:  Nope
