It does not seem to take many days of being better about things for a difference to take place.  The pants were noticeably saggier this morning.  I'm just about to the point where I am going to need to find a smaller size.  I hope I have some in the closet because I'm not keen about buying for what will hopefully be short term use.

I stayed up way too late last night following the baseball game and I'm dragging a bit as a result.  It's not too bad but I'm not exactly bursting with energy.  Priorities, how do they work.

I finished yesterday's log before going to bed and overall I was pretty pleased.  I would definitely like to bump up the vegetation a bit.  I'm not sure when or how much I'll be able to add but it should be a point of emphasis.  Less grain and dairy and more vegetables.

Breakfast:  Leftover oatmeal reheated with whole milk; a pat of butter; coffee.  Probably the least interesting breakfast possible but I have a picture nonetheless:

I could not help but think of Monty Python whilst eating this

Also, before you ask no, I did not consume the stick of butter.

I picked up some rye flakes to try with the oatmeal when I restocked yesterday evening at the health food store, will be interested to see what the flavor is like.  I love rye bread and rye crackers but have never actually made anything with rye myself.  The idea is to use a bit as a booster when soaking to get the phytic acid out of the oats somewhat.  I have no idea if it works but soaking the oats seems to be working okay so far.

Lunch:  Corned beef reuben (corned beef, sauerkraut, swiss and butter on dark rye); cottage cheese; coffee

I won't even tell you about the eggs..

I didn't eat the thousand island, the sandwich didn't need it.  End result:  Full.  Quite full.

Dinner:  Salad (mostly iceberg lettuce with a bit of carrot, cabbage, cucumber, tomato, pickle, pepperocini) with zesty italian dressing, 1/2 medium deluxe pizza, ~ 20 oz Miller Lite

Invited out, could easily have not paid, did chip in.  No picture, I killed the battery on my phone by 6:00.

Snack:  1 bag Meijer naturals double butter popcorn.  Totally unnecessary.  I do think I'm about through my popcorn obsession phase.  I have about four bags left and think that'll hold me for a while.

Exercise:  9 holes with cart.  About 1.75 miles walking per pedometer.
