Great Starts of the Unusual Variety

Monday, October 15, 2012

After eating everything I could get my hands on yesterday it was nice that I felt okay this morning.  I didn't get up right away when the alarm went off (at 4:45, ugh) but did manage to get up earlier than usual.  No obvious bloating either, though I did not jump on the scale.

Because it was early and I knew that lunch was an iffy proposition, I knew that I needed a bit heartier breakfast than usual.  I also had not soaked any oats, so what to do...

Breakfast:  Bowl of leftover beef stew, 1/2 mini loaf pumpkin bread with a pat of butter, coffee

Regular breakfasts feature eggs.  This one?  Not so much.

That really worked out great.  Tasted fantastic and I wasn't close to hungry all morning long.  I think I might have the remaining serving tomorrow!  If I'd known this was going to be so good I would have purchased additional quantities of stew meat.  I did grab a rump roast so I may try the recipe with that instead ... once I go through the stuff I have thawed in my fridge that is!  So much good food on hand right now, it's great.

Lunch:  2 jumbo eggs scrambled with a splash of whole milk and cooked in a bit of butter, 4 CF bacon patties, 1 very small organic avocado; coffee.

Regular lunches do not feature eggs.
My lunches feature eggs regularly!

Pretty standard lunch, everything was done right.  I think I'd been overcooking the bacon patties just a bit, this time they were perfect.

On a completely unrelated note, I just noticed that I've consistently been spelling avocado incorrectly.  Must be the local accent - the first syllables are definitely pronounced 'av-ah' around here!

Dinner Part 1:  ~ 2 oz CF cajun beef jerky.  I took a picture but it's a lump of beef jerky.  Really.

Dinner Part 2:  Chips and onion dip.  Weak.  Polished them off so hopefully I'm done.

Exercise:  I spent a couple hours shopping.  Hit Meijer, Wal Mart, Menards and the mall looking for winter gear.  I had my pedometer but forgot to reset it.  Definitely got in a couple miles at least, so this does count.
