Day 6
It was a little harder than it should have been to recall exactly what I ate on Friday when I got around to updating yesterday. I did get it figured out but good grief. I'm not ready for memory loss.
The fridge is beautifully loaded with lots of good stuff to eat this week, especially more vegetables. I should take a picture. I'm still going to be a overly dependent on prepared meats -- very much so in fact --- but that's something I can work on next week. While I know that sausages and deli meats aren't close to the best, I've been buying good quality stuff and other than some unnecessary additives in the brats they're relatively clean. Not to justify the shortcut but one reason for not doing as much serious cooking is that I've been reorganizing the kitchen. I'm just about done and by next week should be a position to cook more. Looking forward to that!
Menu:
Breakfast: 3 eggs over easy, 4 strips bacon, ~ 4 oz V-8
Got a late start after inexplicably staying up past 3:00 a.m. I was working on stuff until past midnight but the last couple hours were just not being able to shut the brain off.
Lunch: 1 Jack Links beef stick (1.5 oz)
Hunger is fully under control and I just plain forgot to eat lunch. Grabbed a snack stick at the grocery store as a total impulse purchase. Not a big deal as Sunday dinner is a little early and is a big meal.
Dinner: Several slices of beef roast with gravy, 1 spoonful 4 cheese box mashed potatoes, cooked carrots, sugar free Jell-o, 1 serving sugar free Jell-o pudding
There is definitely a little fail here. The gravy was flour-thickened but only a little. I did have the one spoonful of potatoes. Ate lots of carrots. Had a couple servings of Jell-o and dessert. Ate more than I really needed. Still, it wasn't all that bad. I skipped the bread, and didn't eat that much of the truly bad stuff. Sunday dinner will always be a problem, since I don't have full control over it, but if I can do at least this well I'll still make progress.
