It Appears I Need A New Arena

Monday, February 6, 2012
Day 35

I was not ready for a new work week. I had a hard time - surprise, surprise - falling asleep last night. Could not shut off the brain. I think I finally zoned out about 3:00, only to wake up at 8:00. Late for work but thankfully I didn't have anything too hot this morning. It would really be nice to get on a regular schedule.

Breakfast: 1.5 oz Creswick Farms beef jerky

Glad I had this, I forgot to buy ham this weekend so I didn't have my usual grab and go ready.

Lunch: 3 egg omelet with bacon, avacado and cream cheese, 2 sausage patties, coffee

Went out to lunch. This is such a good meal. Too bad it runs $13 with tip, otherwise I'd probably get it three times a week.

Dinner: 8 oz. grass fed Sirloin from Earthscape Farm, asparagus with a small pat of butter

Not the greatest picture. I blame the lighting.

Sirloin isn't the most outstanding cut, but this was quite good. Searing it on a cast iron pan on the grill worked quite well -- even though it was about 35 degrees out there. My "new" grill put out 500 degrees without a problem. It was cooked exactly the way I like it.

After dinner I went and walked around Meijer for about 40 minutes. Not the most strenuous exercise, but it was decent. Apparently I should stop walking around stores -- I buy stuff. Tonight's impulse buy was a pedometer. I kind of want to be sure that my evening jaunts are at least a mile and hopefully increase to three miles by the time spring break rolls around in April. I know I walked a few holes on Saturday but I want to be ready to walk a few nines come spring. Maybe even some 18s by fall, weight loss and physical condition willing! Oh, and I did also buy some ham, the deli does 1/2 off on the stuff they pre-cut at closing and so I bought a small package of Sara Lee honey ham. I'm hoping it's not too sweet -- finding nutrition information online for it was surprisingly difficult. I'm not going to sweat it, I only bought a half pound.

Time to crash, I think. I have lots of stuff to do -- I didn't make any meatballs tonight so I just put the ground beef in the freezer. I'll get by for a day or two on the stuff I have. Still want to keep working on the transition to real food.

February days with meaningful exercise count: 3.
