Day 96
Back in the saddle. I have been running around like crazy today and am really looking forward to a good night of sleep. I desperately want to get a new mattress but just don't have the cash to do so at the moment. I will have to make do with my 15 year old Serta for a bit longer.
As expected, when I weighed in this morning I was up as a result of last week's repeated splurging. Up six pounds. There is a decent chance that it's just water weight and will flush itself out just as soon as I stop eating so much starch again. I'm not worried about it and I'm determined not to get caught up in day-to-day fluctuations. Month over month progress is all I need to worry about.

I went out to the farm yesterday and got a couple of sacks full of good stuff (I spent $90). Lots of different meats and a dozen eggs. My freezer is stocked for a couple weeks -- or longer if I keep eating out so much. Will be trying to stop that, it's expensive. A couple times a week, sure, just not most every day and twice on Fridays.
Breakfast: 3 egg omelet with bacon, avacado and cream cheese, 2 sausage patties, coffee
Lunch: Taco salad, spicy pork
Dinner: Grilled 1/2 lb (pre cook weight) hamburger patty, ~ 1.5 oz swiss cheese
Dessert: NSA rice pudding cup
That's more like it. The burger was some of that local grass fed beef with a splash of worcester sauce, some dried chopped onion, garlic powder, salt and pepper and it was very tasty. No condiments required. And I have a second burger to eat for lunch tomorrow, so convenient.
On the exercise front, like I said I ran around all day ... and then I walked nine holes before dinner at the golf course. So yeah, today qualifies easy. I can tell I've been walking a lot and have strayed a bit from the diet - my knees were grumbling some today. I'm still very fat so no surprise there. One thing I meant to do but did not accomplish was to mow the back yard. I may have to squeeze that in tomorrow somehow, although I probably will not since it is Easter Sunday and that might be a little tacky.
April days with meaningful exercise: 6
I got some work stuff set up at home so I can do it while doing other stuff like laundry. We'll see if I use it. I am keeping my expectations modest.
