Grapefruit Addition

Wednesday, January 9, 2013

First day with the new contacts went well.  They're a lot different than the ones I had years ago, but I'll figure them out.

Great morning for a walk.  Temperature up in the low 40s, only negative was a bit of wind and a couple of slick spots on the road.  Not bad at all.

Breakfast:  ~ 2 oz salami, 1 slice cheddar cheese, 1/2 grapefruit, coffee

I for one welcome the return of grapefruit seaon

Again running just a few minutes late today, I dawdled just a bit getting ready.  I need to try to leave five to ten minutes earlier.

Lunch:  2 CF large eggs fried in a bit of real lard, 4 strips CF hickory smoked garlic pepper bacon, 2 Bubbies dill pickles.

Pictured:  Eggs.  Bacon.  Not pictured:  Pickles

I'm mystified as to how one of the yolks broke - I'd swear it was fine when I cracked it in the pan.  Not that it matters a great deal but still.  Also, that bacon is really, really, really good.

I was going to have soup but the jar I took out of the freezer (last night?) was still frozen solid.  So plan B kicked in and I had eggs.

Dinner:  Leftovers - pork chop, spicy beans and a fresh jalapeno pepper.  Reheated, cut and mixed up.

Those jalapeno slices sure look impressive, don't they?

Not bad.

Also:  I'm sure I'll have a glass of pinot gris when I do the dishes later.

Exercise:  C25k week 2, day 1.  90 seconds of jogging, 2 minutes walking, repeat x 6.  As usual I walked a mile before starting and did my favorite loop.  Pedometer read it as 3.25 miles today, 57 minutes.  To be honest, the increase in intensity hurt a bit.  The last couple jogging segments were up a modest incline and into the wind and they burned.  I made it through, though, and am pleased.  I definitely should think about repeating some days and taking this very slow.  I still have nearly 4 months to be fully ready.
