On The First

Monday, October 1, 2012

Tired this morning.  I thought I went to bed reasonably early, but when the alarm went off I switched it off and was deep in REM when it went off again an hour later.  Someday I hope to have made enough improvements that I can start sleeping better -- I still remember with great fondness a particular day years ago (when I'd lost a bunch of weight) where I woke up early with all kinds of energy.  It was a great feeling, and one most rare.  I am not a morning person.

Breakfast:  Soaked oatmeal with whole milk and a little butter; coffee

I noticed after I put the oats together last night that my buttermilk was past the expiration date.  It did not appear to affect anything, but I will need to get some more if I keep eating oatmeal.

Lunch:  2 egg omelet (eggs with a splash of whole milk, cooked in a pat of butter) with a sprinkle of triple cheddar cheese; leftover sausage gravy; 1 small organic avacado; coffee

How about a picture?

Featuring ... eggs.  I could have covered them entirely with gravy but ...
Very tasty and I have enough left to (probably) do this again tomorrow.  Unless I eat it up before then.

Snack: ~ 2 oz CF cajun beef jerky

Dinner:  1 bag Meijer Naturals double butter popcorn.  I wasn't real hungry when I got home but I did feel like eating something.  I think once I eat the rest of what I have I'm going to lay off the microwave popcorn.

Exercise:  9 holes walking.  A lovely evening.

An additional random thought -- it may be that I should pay more attention to the fine details of what I'm eating -- calories, carb count, portion sizes, all that.  I need to remember that the USDA has a lovely database that I can access to calculate things ... if I just remember to weigh, measure and record.
