Brain Spin

Tuesday, May 5, 2026

A reasonably restful night.  I didn't do much, didn't overeat greatly, went to bed at a reasonable hour if a shade late.  Got at least six hours before I woke up.  Of course the brain promptly started spinning worrying about work and that was the end of the actual sleep, but as usual I did not actually get up.  That's the pattern.

Scale was down some.  Still in the same range I've been in lately.  Noticed yesterday that it's about ten pounds higher than I was when I left for vacation in March, which does not seem like much, but I feel remarkably worse physically.  Hopefully the commencement of regular golf season will boost my activity level enough to make a positive difference.

Breakfast:  Breakfast sandwich, coffee

 


The usual, except I only had one slice of american left so I added a slice of swiss.

Lunch:  Taco rice, guacamole, OF spicy nacho chips

 


Cleaned up the chips.  Need to not buy.

Dinner:  French dip, 12 oz Miller Lite

 


Standard post-golf dinner.  Very good sandwich tonight.

Also, a completely unnecessary sack of taco bell w pepsi. 

Exercise:  9 holes with cart

The Expected Bloat

Monday, May 4, 2026

Not at all surprised to see the scale up today after a tremendous consumption of carbs yesterday.  A lot of carbs, a lot of food, a lot of junk.  Lots of tightening up to do.  Felt like I slept decently, woke up about five minutes before my alarm.  

While I was quite pleased by how well I kept my grocery spending in check (< $50) I do need to try and pare it down further in the form of not grabbing junk food from the aisle of super discounts.  No poptarts this week but I did buy more of the OF spicy nacho tortilla chips and some butterscotch chips to (someday) make cookies.  Just need to pass 'em up. 

Another week has arrived.  Lots to do, I had better get to it.

Breakfast:  Breakfast sandwich, coffee

 


Slightly different, no french bread in stock so I bought a loaf of jalapeno cheddar.  

Lunch:  Taco rice, guacamole, OF spicy nacho chips

 


Again.

Dinner:   Enchilada eggs, V-8 juice, 12 oz Miller Lite

 



Sounded good, was good.

 


And the capper, some NSA chocolate pudding.  Had a stray box in the pantry and I wasn't ambitious enough to make cookies. 

Exercise:  Nope.  Had some ideas earlier about an after dinner walk but since I cooked it would have been late and in the rain.

Fun With Wakeups

Sunday, May 3, 2026

An amusing, if slightly painful, wakeup.  I'm in the middle of an elaborate dream.  I'm sure I don't remember every last detail but I remembered most.  At the relevant point I'm walking/sliding down a slippery road with a companion and I tell them I need to stop and fix my left foot, which is cramping.  And at that exact moment (4:15 am thank you very little) I bolt awake with a nasty toe curling cramp in ... my left foot.  Dream meets reality, full crash.  Ugh.

Fortunately it only took about ten minutes to deal with it but I still, as usual, did not get great sleep afterward.  But I tried and I did sleep in a half hour or so.  Hopefully I don't pay for it tonight.

Anyway, I'll chalk the cramp up to yesterday's overexertion.  Today will be much less ambitious.  A standard Sunday, no golf.

Breakfast:  Toast w butter, leftover LC pizza, coffee

 



Random stuff.

Lunch:  Buttermilk pancakes w maple syrup, 3 strips bacon

 


More random stuff.  Most of the pancakes went in the freezer.  Bacon not pictured. 

Also had some OF spicy nacho chips (still on sale) and pepsi later.

Dinner:   Deluxe pizza, 12 oz Two Hearted, cake and ice cream

 


Sunday dinner was out this week. 

Exercise:  Nope.  Active day but no specific exercise.

Effects

Saturday, May 2, 2026

Ugh.  Suffering the effects of extra pounds and extra activity.  I am capital T tired.  Fortunately it doesn't take too much to type up today's post.

I did manage to pick up my groceries for the week.  Under $50.  That's not so bad. 

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

The standard pre-golf breakfast out.  It wasn't their finest effort.  Also not my finest, since I forgot the photo until I had eaten everything but the second slice of toast.  Oops.

Lunch:  12 oz Miller Lite

I was rather stuffed after breakfast, but somehow I was hungry again six hours later.  But I had to wait until after going home to eat.

Dinner:  CFA spicy w pepper jack, fries, strips w ranch, coke

As mentioned, I was hungry.

Also:  Ginger snaps and a glass of milk.  Might have some toast w butter.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart.  Plenty of walking, though nothing crazy.  Quite a bit of up and down.  As mentioned, it was a lot in my current condition.

May Day

Friday, May 1, 2026

TGIF.  While busy, today might be a bit less extreme than usual.  Which I am, frankly, hoping for.  I got a fair amount of work done last night but as is typically the case it also made me realize just how much I have to do.  Which is, to an extent, a good problem.  Just not to this extent.

April was a fail.  Scale ended up a few pounds.  Body composition is worse.  I'm fatter and in worse shape.  And the drive to fix it is definitely not as strong as I need it to be.  I very much need to fix what I eat, spend a lot less money mostly by not eating out/driving thru, and start walking.  Need to do it.

Anyway.  Hoping for a productive day and to get a jump on the weekend chores for once this evening.  We will see if that happens. 

Breakfast:  Breakfast sandwich, coffee

 


Same sandwich as yesterday, local bakery french bread, butter, 2.5 strips of bacon, 2 slices of american cheese.  The only thing different was I turned the toaster one shade darker.  And for some reason it turned out incredibly good.

Lunch:  McD big mac mcdouble fries coke

On the road.

Dinner:  Taco rice, 12 oz Yuengling, OF strawberry poptarts, milk

 

Also, toast w butter.  Quite a bit.

Exercise:  Nope.

Too Much Excessiveness As Per Usual

Thursday, April 30, 2026

Nothing new.  Too much work, too much eating, too much bad eating.  Not enough sleep.  Not enough rest.  Not enough down time.

Scale down a couple little ticks for no good reason but I'll take it.

Breakfast:  Breakfast sandwich, coffee

Same except different - out of english muffins so I bought a loaf of french bread and used a couple slices.  I need to make sure they haven't changed the ingredients but this was always the cleanest loaf, flour, water, yeast, salt.

Lunch:  Taco rice, some Our Family spicy nacho chips, OF frosted strawberry pop tarts

 


Standard kibble.  I think I forgot to note the chips yesterday, had more today.  They were inexpensive and surprisingly good (while also being terrible).  I bought a toaster and the store brand pop tarts were 99 cents.  Also terrible for me.

Dinner:  LC Pep, crazy bread and sauce, Pepsi

Another meal eaten at desk.  Yuck.

Exercise:  Nope.

Go For Six

Wednesday, April 29, 2026

At least I got a lot of work done last evening.  It was one of the more productive stretches I have had lately, I did more in that three hours span than some full days.  No distractions is so nice.

Managed six hours of sleep before I woke up, which was also a plus.  If I ever get the diet fully on track maybe I can hit seven or eight some night after I dump this water weight.

Not much else of note.  More work beckons.

Breakfast:  Breakfast sandwich, coffee

 


Again.

Lunch:  Taco rice plus jalapenos

 


Again.  New shorthand. 

Snack:  McDouble, Dr Pepper.  Had a low blood sugar moment.  Another reason to fix the damn diet. 

Dinner:  Leftover LC pep pizza with added green olives and parmesan, 12 oz Yuengling

 


Reheated.  Improved.

Capper of ginger snaps and milk. 

Exercise:  Nope.

Way Of Working Out

Tuesday, April 28, 2026

I know I complain a lot, I should really do a better job of being grateful when things work out.  They have a way of doing that and this morning was a prime case.  I had something calendared incorrectly, moving it to the correct time made all the difference.

Now I could have not been awake at 2:50 am, but that initial four hours was destined to be the only solid sleep I got.  The next four was fitful at most and mostly spent not sleeping.  Doh.  Weight fractionally up but not bad considering the meltdown.

Breakfast:  Home breakfast sandwich, coffee

Forgot to take a photo, it's the same sandwich.

Lunch:  Taco meat, bone broth basmati rice, guacamole

 


Best kibble bowl in a while.  Very tasty.

Snack:  CFA strips with ranch.  On the go. 

Dinner:  LC pep pizza, crazy bread and sauce, pepsi

At least I ate less than usual.  Ugh.  Stupid endless work days. 

 


And a capper, two chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk. 

Exercise:  Nope.

The Scaries

Monday, April 27, 2026

Not going to lie, I dreaded this week all day yesterday.  Just not enough to get up and get going when I woke up at 4:00 this morning.

Scale up after a rough day yesterday.  No surprise.  We'll see how this week goes, today will not be good.

Breakfast:  Breakfast sandwich, coffee

 


Same sandwich different week - clean english muffin, bacon, Sargento natural american cheese.

Lunch:  Deluxe sub

 


No time for the usual lunch, on the road.

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

Ugh.

Exercise:  Nope.  Please fix.

Seconday Benefits And Such

Sunday, April 26, 2026

Not sure if it directly relates to the fresh air and exercise, but hey I got a decent night of sleep.  Even woke up at 5:00 and went back to sleep.  How about that.

Scale down, mood stable, all good.  Now I just need to give myself a kick in the butt and get to work.

Breakfast:  Chips and salsa

Ridiculous.  Eventually had a cup of coffee.

Lunch:  Home cheeseburger on english muffin w jala mustard and pickles

 


First time I've ever bought a box of frozen beef patties.  This was fine, though the muffin was more robust than necessary.  I thought about buying a loaf of real bread but passed, that would have been better.  I don't think the local bakery does real buns, just bread and english muffins. 

Dinner:  BLT, chips, berries, 12 oz Miller Lite, homemade chocolate chip cookies

Sunday dinners.

Also, sack of Taco Bell, lemonade. 

Exercise:  Nope.

Fresh Air And Exercise Huh

Saturday, April 25, 2026

After a very stressful and not very successful week, TGIS.  It was really, really nice to get outside today.  A very pleasant morning.  

Nothing else of note.  Did not get enough sleep.  As usual I could not get back to sleep once I woke up, though again as usual I did try.  Scale was down a bit.  All good.

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

 


Standard pregolf breakfast.  This location got new plates.

Lunch:  TB cheesy beef burrito, nachos and supreme dip.  12 oz Miller Lite

Was hungry and didn't think I'd make it all the way to dinner.

Dinner:  Wendy's double.  Fudge graham cookies

Audibled.  Burger was OK, cookies excessive.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart.  Not much in the way of extra walking, but it was still more than I've been getting lately.  Not wiped out, but I can tell I did something.

128.8 

Fixing Needed

Friday, April 24, 2026

Not a great deal of pep today.  Slept okay, made it all the way to 5:30 before I woke up.  As usual didn't get much if any additional sleep after that.  Scale down an inconsequential amount, not surprising that nothing has kicked in yet.  Still need to be better.

Otherwise, lots to do, though thankfully not much is scheduled.  I should be able to get a few things done.  Weekend is looking okay weather-wise which will cut into how much work I can accomplish.  Is problem.

I scrolled down my page just now and it hit me - when was the last time I had a meal with no starch?  It's been a long time, hasn't it?  There's always a bread, or mash, or rice, or something starchy.  I can go days without sugar, but starch not so much.   I guess there are those days where I just have a bit of cheese or something for breakfast, but that's about it.  Hmm.

Breakfast:  Home breakfast sandwich, coffee

 


Used my last english muffin yesterday, so I had to resort to a couple spare slices of store bread.  Bleah.  I don't even like the smell of the stuff.  But it did the job even if I did leave it on the stove a bit too long.  Overly toasted.

Lunch:  McD 2x Mcdouble, fries

Had an unexpected work problem to take care of, so I was on the go.

Dinner:  Taco meat, mashed potatoes, guacamole, 12 oz Miller Lite

Mush bowl.

Exercise:  Nope.  Not yet.  Fixing needed first.

Do Better Dummy

Thursday, April 23, 2026

Back in the saddle after a very disappointing day yesterday.  Do better.

The lesson I really need to drill is eating less in the evening.  Paid the price for what I ate last night, not only the quantity but I also had too much acid due to the tomatoes.  Ugh.  And chain pizza always makes me insanely thirsty.

This morning was pretty good, just need to keep it rolling.

Breakfast:  Home breakfast sandwich, coffee

 


Again.  Last of the english muffins.  May go another week with these.

Lunch:  Taco meat, bone broth basmati rice, guacamole

 


Solid.  Kibble delivered as usual.

Dinner:  Lime Maiz chips w salsa, 12 oz Miller Lite, soup

 


Cleaned up the salsa, too bad it involved buying and eating too many Maiz chips. 

Exercise:  Nope.  I will say that I felt a little better after lunch than I have at any time in the last couple weeks.  So that's encouraging.

Bumble

Wednesday, April 22, 2026

A moderate misstep this morning.  The psychological desire to eat overcame my defenses.  I managed to keep it to one item, but it was calories I did not truly need and money I absolutely did not need to spend.  I think I'm going to have to start doing daily and frequent affirmations that I want to break free of these bad habits.  And then I had Jimmy Johns for a rushed lunch. And pizza.

Otherwise, okay.  A little more water gone.  I woke up at 4:00, then really did not have much luck getting back to sleep.  Dozed a little, but not enough.

Breakfast:  Home breakfast sandwich, coffee

 


Again.  Decided this one could have used an egg and maybe just a bit of sauce to bring it together.

Second Breakfast:  Taco Bell sausage burrito

At least it was one item.  Idiot.

Lunch:  Jimmy Johns ham and three cheese melt, diet lemonade

 


Managed to not get chips. 

Dinner:  Dominos extrava, bites

Idiot.

Exercise:  Sort of.  I had to park several blocks away from an appointment this morning and the hike involved a little hill.  So I got some steps in.  It's somewhat concerning the shape I am in, will be monitoring to make sure it doesn't get any worse.

Moderate Departures

Tuesday, April 21, 2026

Okay that wasn't the worst first day ever.  It wasn't the cleanest but I accomplished my primary goals for the day, which were to have no soda and no bad drivethru/takeout food.  I do not consider tacos bad in reasonable quantities given the historical data.

Dumped some water but there is more to come.  Scale down some.  I got 8 hours of sleep with one mid-night wakeup but am not rested.  Really no particular negatives other than I had a minor headache and sore neck overnight.   I will say that my evening was notably more pleasant with the smaller dinner.  I ate enough so that I was not hungry, but still managed to get it fully processed before bedtime.  That needs to be an ongoing goal:  LESS DINNER.

Don't know if I mentioned it but I've found myself a little short of breath on even modest exertion recently, and not a good reaction when I bend down to pick something off the floor.  We'll see if dumping twenty pounds of water helps with that.  It's unusual and concerning but probably not an emergency. 

Breakfast:  Home breakfast sandwich, coffee

 


Same idea as yesterday, english muffin, butter, bacon, 2 slices sargento natural american cheese.  Solid.

Lunch:  Taco meat, mashed potatoes, guacamole

 


I don't think it counts as kibble unless you have rice.

Dinner:  3 eggs over medium, hash browns in EVOO, some leftover chips w salsa, 12 oz Miller Lite

 


Was going to have soup but decided to save it for tomorrow night.  Cleaned up a small portion of chips with lots of salsa.  Probably should have had more protein and less carbs.

Exercise:  Nope

Working Through

Monday, April 20, 2026

Okay then here we go.

Sluggish morning.  I'm not terribly surprised, I'm sure that my body spent way too much energy overnight working through the excess calories I consumed.  I was still quite full this morning which is very rare.  I'd really like a mid-day nap but of course I don't get one.  Sometimes wonder if I would nap if I did not wear contact lenses.

Anyway, so far so good at the halfway point of the day, just need to make sure dinner is light and go to bed at a reasonable hour.  Oh, and make soup.

Breakfast:  Home breakfast sandwich - english muffin, butter, 3 strips bacon, 1 slices Sargento natural american cheese

 


Bought the upscale english muffins from the local bakehouse, much much cleaner ingredient list than the national brands.  This was decent - I wrapped it in foil and ate it a little later than usual at my desk.

Lunch:  Leftover turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes

 


Reheated w a little extra butter.  Not bad, if a little light on the turkey (it's what I had) and heavy on the starch.

Dinner:  2 ground beef tacos, 1 chorizo taco, 12 oz Miller Lite

 


Been a while.  Also ate the leftover jello from yesterday.

Exercise:  Nope.  Physical condition is abysmal right now.  Going to drop some water and then up the steps.

Vague Excitement

Sunday, April 19, 2026

Okay.  Let's do some prep in order to STOP THE FAIL.

I'm vaguely but only vaguely excited.  I'd be more excited if I didn't know that the next few days will suck.

But that's the price.  Let's pay it.

Breakfast:  Tortilla chips, salsa.  Coffee later.

Need to get the place cleaned up so I can cook.  

Lunch:  BK texas whopper, Dr. Pepper

OK.  Fries were inedible as is often the case with this BK.

Dinner:  Turkey w gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, peas, roll w butter, jello, 12 oz Coors Light

 


Sunday dinners.

Also fourthmeal, sack of Taco Bell plus pepsi. 

Exercise:  Nope.  Active at least.

Catching up a day late.  Had an okay Saturday, got a few things done.

Breakfast:  Pretzel bagels w veggie cream cheese, coffee

OK.

Lunch:  Cheeseburgers, fries, coke

OK.  Had to audible to other local burger joint.

Dinner:  Chorizo burrio, mexican coke, garlic rye chips, coconut cookies

OK.  Ate too much.

Exercise:  Nope.

Just About

Friday, April 17, 2026

Okay then.

I am very glad it is Friday.  I plan to work tomorrow - the weather forecast isn't great, so no golf.  And then I plan to take Sunday off.  To cook, clean and do laundry.  Of course.  I have plans.  One of which will be get rolling on the diet fix.

Just about there.

Breakfast:  McD sausage mcmuffins, hash browns, coffee

Yuh.

Lunch:  Sack of McD, coke

Different location, same junk.  At some point in there I cleaned up my supply of mini pepsis.

Dinner:  Deluxe pizza plus jala, coke

Very tasty, very excessive.

Exercise:  Nope

Scrambled Bits And Bits

Thursday, April 16, 2026

That's more like it.  Extra sleep.  Did not wake up super early.  Had a lengthy, entertaining dream that was the usual scramble of bits of factual stuff mixed up with a whole lot of the impossible.  I especially enjoyed the portion that was about figuring out how to convince an elderly neighbor to sell her third floor condo with an indoor swimming pool.  All pure fiction but quite entertaining to "live" through in first person.

Anyway, nothing else of note.  Weight up (not as much as it looks, my reported numbers have been off the last couple days since I haven't checked my notes), stress level down a shade.  Lots to do today, so let's get to it.  Hopefully I can start chipping away at the deferred cleaning, laundry and dietary fixing.

Breakfast:  Bacon egg and cheese on jalapeno bagel, coffee

OK.

Lunch:  CFA spicy w pep jack, strips w ranch, fries, coke

Dunno why I've been on a CFA bender.

Dinner:  Cheeseburger w works, fries w ketchup, mexican coke

Always tasty. 

Exercise:  Nope.

Wednesday, April 15, 2026

Whew.  Tired.

I didn't get up super early today.  I woke up, but elected not to get up.  It was raining and would have been great for sleeping, but it wasn't.  Stupid stress.

At least the deadline has passed.  Now to catch up on other things.  There are many of them.

Breakfast:  McD BEC biscuit, sausage mcmuffin, hash brown, coffee

Solid.

Lunch:  Chili cheese dogs, fries, coke

OK.

Dinner:  Qdoba brisket bowl chips and queso, coke

Also OK.

Had a stray donut for dessert.

Exercise:  Nope.  Oh man am I in rough shape.  Going to need to drop a bunch of weight before getting too serious.

Flat Lines

Monday, April 13, 2026

The primacy of sleep continues unchallenged.  I got up early this morning, at 5:15.  It has not proven helpful.  In fact I have probably gotten less accomplished this morning than I would have if I had slept later.  With off the charts levels of stress I sure hope I can go to bed early tonight.

Nothing else of note.  Scale was down a bit, which is just a reflection of extreme fatness.

Breakfast:  McD sausage mcmuffin/burrito/mcgriddle, hash browns, coffee

OK.

Lunch:  Jimmy Johns #9, salt and vinegar chips, coke

OK.

Dinner:  Subway meatball, pepsi

OK.  Fattening.

Cutting Corners

Sunday, April 12, 2026

It's early but I'm already finding myself wishing I had gone harder yesterday.  Lots left to do.  Corners are going to be cut, big time, on the weekly chores so that I can max out office time.

Not much else of note.  Slept in a bit, hope that helps.  Worst weight yet, need to fix that shortly.

Breakfast:  Cheese popcorn, coffee

Needed a little something quick, don't have much that would work handy.  

Lunch:  Sack of McDonalds, coke

Did not sit well.

Dinner:  Home tacos, chips and salsa, applesauce, 12 oz Coors Light, vanilla ice cream w choc sauce

Partial Recovery

Saturday, April 11, 2026

A slightly better day than anticipated.  I thought I would lose most of it, but ended up being able to work much more than planned.  Not as productively as I could have, but it was not bad.  I have everything input, now I just have the hard part left -- review, correction and assembly.  I'd do more this evening but I think I'm going to try and knock out as much of the weekly chores as I can so that I have tomorrow mostly freed up for work.

Next weekend, I'm taking a day off.

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

Pre-golf breakfast out, but golf was canceled.

Lunch:  Chili cheese dogs, fries, coke

OK.

Dinner:  Sack of Taco Bell, pepsi

OK but very much not okay.

Wednesday, April 8, 2026

I'm annoyed and frankly kinda disturbed by how little zip I've had this week.  I know I have a million things to do.  And I'm just ... not doing them.

Is problem.

Breakfast:  Panera asiago bagels w cream cheese.  Coffee

On the go after a blood draw.

Lunch:  CFA spicy w pepper jack, strips fries coke, brownie

Also had a couple donuts in there.  What a day.

Easy As

Tuesday, April 7, 2026

I didn't get the sleep I was hoping for but it was still a somewhat better day.

Starting to think, though, that sleep (somehow) is the first piece of the puzzle for long term success.  Somehow I need to find a schedule that works.  Then pair it with better (less) eating and exercise.  I actually had some thoughts today of something I'd like to do in the future that would require being less fat.

Anyway, another day closer to the 15th.  Gulp.

Breakfast:  Bacon egg cheese bagel, coffee

Changeup.

Lunch:  CFA spicy w pepperjack, strips fries Coke, brownie

Solid.

Dinner:  Bacon cheeseburger pizza, pepsi, Hudsonville mint chip

Excessive.

Exercise:  Nope.

First Principles

Monday, April 6, 2026

A very disappointing day.  I accomplished very little.  Really wasted a bunch of time.  And it all ties back to sleep - I did not get enough.  Not close.  And so I fought exhaustion all day and frankly it won.  Hoping to crash early tonight and fix it for the rest of the week.

Otherwise, nothing of note.

Breakfast:  2 slices extra sharp cheddar, orange juice, coffee

OK.

Lunch: Sack of McDonalds, Coke

Not sure why it sounded ok but it was ok.

Dinner:  Jersey Mikes hot italian/56, salt and vinegar chips, pepsi

Not their best effort.

Exercise:  Nope.
