This Is What A Total Meltdown Looks Like

Day 138

It hardly seems right to increase the date count after this.  It started out with a little cheat and then snowballed completely out of control.

As I write this on Sunday morning, I can say that I paid for it.  I woke up twice last night (at 1:00 and again at 2:30) with bad leg/foot cramps that really didn't want to go away.  It had been several weeks at least since I'd had an episode and I really don't know what could have triggered them other than the dietary change.  At least when I stepped on the scale this morning the damage wasn't too brutal (less than half a pound) -- it's still been a disappointing month and it's all on me to fight back and stop the starch.

On the real life front the A/C in my car died as I was out getting the pizza, so I wouldn't rule out karmic payback for this episode of epic fail.

Breakfast:  Western omelet, 2 slices raisin toast with butter, coffee  ($1 toward tip)

Lunch:  Corned beef reuben with onion rings, 2 x 12 oz Miller Lite  ( ~ $15)

Snack:  Popcorn

Dinner:  Jet's Pizza small Super Special, deep dish Detroit Style pizza ($10.59)

It was a warm day and I didn't sleep well Friday night so I didn't get in a ton of extra walking.  18 holes with cart.  I puttered around the house mostly working on grills, no yard work.  I did go to Meijer in the evening and spent about 45 minutes walking around the store and getting groceries and stuff (~ $35 on food).  Totally wiped out when I finished about 10:00.

May days with meaningful exercise count:  13
