Corned

Monday, October 8, 2012

I think I forgot to mention that I got a new drivers license a while back.  Looking at the picture reminds me that while I look a little better than I did four (?) years ago I still have a long, long, long way to go and that I really need to knock off the slacking if I hope to get there.

It wasn't a good weekend on the eating front, though I did get in vast quantities (for me anyway) of exercise.

Breakfast:  Oatmeal with butter and whole milk; coffee

Slightly different version this time.  I soaked the oats in water and 2T buttermilk but added a T of wheat flour, that's supposed to help neutralize the phytic acid.  I also soaked them for ~ 24 hours instead of overnight.  I really didn't notice much difference taste-wise, they might have been a bit sour but it wasn't unpleasant.  I really do think that I'm going to dial back the oats once I finish them off though, in general I need to get back to cutting out the starches.

I forgot to take a picture.  Also of note, I was definitely not hungry this morning at any point.

Lunch:  Corned beef and sauerkraut on dark rye, cottage cheese, coffee

Invited out to lunch, got a nice pile of corned beef.  Skipped the thousand island, there must have been a little butter/spread on the bread, didn't need the dressing since the meat was so good.

I tried to take a picture but I killed my phone battery.

Dinner:  Little Caesars pepperoni pizza.  Oops.

Exercise:  4+ holes walking, 1.5 miles per the pedometer.
