If I were smart, I would have left the office at lunch and taken a nap for a couple hours. I did not, so the afternoon was not at all productive. I ate dinner and crashed almost immediately. Could not even tell you when. But I'm pretty sure it was before 8:00. Woke up at 1:15, finished getting ready for bed and went back to sleep relatively soon. I do not know what the total was but it was probably double digits in hours or at least very close. I physically feel somewhat better today as a result - yesterday was pretty rough - but I'm still struggling. And lacking focus.
Breakfast: Pretzel bagel, coffee, later a donut
Lunch: Wendys double stacks, jr fries, dr pepper
Dinner: ham salami cheese sub, garlic cheese bread, pepsi, rice krispie treat
Exercise: Nope.

I certainly could have done better on my vacation. Ate plenty and did not really watch anything. Drank way too much sugar soda and lemonade. And yet there was a (very minor) dip in the scale. Okay. Now we need to get going on some changes.
Just not today. Regrettably I am exhausted today. Did not get nearly enough sleep. For no good reason.
Breakfast: McD BEC biscuit, egg mcmuffin, hash brown, coffee. Also had a muffin of some sort.
After blood draw.
Lunch: CFA original w ranch, lemonade, coke
Free sandwich. Needed more caffeine.
Dinner: Sack of taco bell, pepsi
Fast.
Exercise: Nope. Pretty beat up.

I was hoping to crash about 9:00 last night. It did not happen. Probably closer to 10:30 before I got to sleep. Slept straight through to 5:20 then snoozed for an hour after that. Getting that much sleep made a big difference in how I feel, today is normal.
Not much else of note. Still trying to cram in as much as I can get done before vacation.
Breakfast: Bagel w cream cheese, coffee
Again. Mid-morning I ate the rest of the leftover pizza.
Lunch: CFA spicy w pep jack, fries, lemonade
Was more than I needed, honestly.
Dinner: Cheeseburger and fries, pepsi
local 5 Guys clpne.
And some mini milky ways.
Exercise: Nope.

I was amused last evening when I restarted my car and a message popped up: "Oil change soon". Yes, as a matter of fact I do have an appointment in the morning. Nice to be in synch with your stuff.
Nothing else of note other than it being Friday. Thankfully, though I still have to get through it. Sleep was OK, weight has been pretty stable (awful, of course, but stable) this week.
Breakfast: Cheese sandwich, coffee
Again. Half swiss half cheddar today as I finished off the cheddar.
Midmorning I had a brownie that was thrown in with my lunch order yesterday.
Lunch: Deluxe sub, pepsi
A very late lunch, after 3:00.
Dinner: Wendy's single, bacon double stack. Doritos. Pepsi.
And will probably be some mini milky ways in there too.

It's been a challenge to make the needed changes going into a vacation, but this is getting old.
Do better.

So busy.
Dozed off early last night, got up at 1:00 to take out the contacts (oops) and went from there. Usually time passes fast, this time it was slow. I made myself stay in bed until the alarm went off and in hindsight I'm glad I did, today would have been much worse if I were completely exhausted.

Simple.
Lunch: McD mcdouble plain, fries, coke
Fast.
Dinner: Pizza Hut thin pep pork beef, breadsticks, pepsi
Ugh.
Also a bit of popcorn.

I sure appreciate holiday weekends. I'm still not close to ready to go back to work tomorrow and I did not do any of the work stuff I really should have tackled, but the rest is so nice.

A rainy morning.
Woke up at 2:45. UGH. Maybe got an hour after that. Not good.
Breakfast: 2 eggs over medium, 3 strips bacon, hash browns, raisin toast w jam, coffee
Standard.
Lunch: Sack of Taco Bell, Pepsi
Unfortunately also pretty standard.

Exercise: ~ 9 holes w cart
Rained out partway through. Boo.

Friday, September 4, 2026
A very wet, stormy morning. Woke up before 5:00 and it was already raining. Tried without any notable success to get back to sleep, which is too bad because sleeping on a rainy morning is usually a pleasure. Thankfully the power did not go out, though it did elsewhere in town.
Scale down an inconsequential amount, probably due to getting rid of lots of liquid.
Glad it is Friday, lets get through this and on to the holiday weekend.
Breakfast: Coffee
Yeah.
Lunch: BK texas whopper, fries, mozz fries, dr pepper
Sigh.
Dinner: Meat lovers pizza, coke
Local place, not the hut. Was wildly excessive.
Exercise: Nope

Thursday, September 3, 2026
Ugh. Woke up at 3:15. Did get back to sleep, sort of, but not the restful kind. I did have a truly bonkers extended dream that mashed up all kinds of things that have been on my mind lately, it was hilarious.
Made it through the day, though.
Breakfast: McD sausage burritos, hash browns. Coffee
Meh, it wasn't good.
Lunch: TB beefy crunch burrito, pepsi.
Small. Later, had combos and pepsi

Another week. Ugh. Another Monday. At least it's the last day of the month.

Probably for the best that I did not have outdoor plans today as it's been a very soggy morning. A good day to go out to breakfast, where I saw people I knew, and get some groceries where I saw more. Connections. And then I came home to crappy internet. Bad connections.
Scale stayed in range. Got extra sleep, which was good. Still pretty tired this morning and holy cow am I weak.
Breakfast: Biscuits and gravy, 2 eggs over medium, hash browns, coffee
Again. Going to have to pause on doing this though. Also, Meijer donut holes
Lunch: Cheese popcorn, 7 Up
Didn't need much.
