Not All That Scrooged

Saturday, December 15, 2012

Today's goal was to do the holiday shopping.  From scratch (i.e. no lists, no idea) to wrapped.  I didn't quite get there but at least I made a lot of progress.

That level of crazy also meant bad eating, though it was counteracted somewhat by lots and lots of walking.  I mean I went to a half dozen big box stores and I went to Meijer twice.  I should have worn the pedometer but didn't because it was raining.  Miserable day after about 11:00 am.

Breakfast:  Blueberry oatcakes, 3 slices Meijer bacon, coffee

Hey does this look familiar?

Yep.  Standard weekend stuff.  So good.  Once again scaled the recipe down to 2/3 C of oats and buttermilk so I can just eat it Saturday/Sunday.  I might even think about scaling it down to half a cup but that might be going too far.  Also of note, this recipe is super forgiving - I haven't measured anything in weeks.

Lunch:  Qdoba burrito bowl, light rice, double steak, pinto beans, pico, hot salsa, cheese and sour cream.

Stock order.  It should sound familiar...  I have a phone photo but haven't bothered uploading it so far.

Snack:  Chips and onion dip.  Lots.  Bleh.  See walking, lots of.

Dinner:  See lunch.  Same exact thing.  Yeah, seriously, I ate twice at Qdoba in one day.  WTF.  It was getting late, I was a ways from home and needed dinner.  None of the other options were appealing.  I actually think that the fact that a drive thru McBurger didn't sound very good is progress of a sort.

Exercise:  Stretched out the morning walk nicely.  Ended up with 2.33 miles, about 45 minutes.  And then, as mentioned above, I shopped until I couldn't stand it any more.  Lots of exercise.
