Weighted Down And Low

Saturday, January 26, 2013

This morning has been a struggle.  I dragged myself through my walk, physically tired (for obvious reasons - lots of walking yesterday and precious little sleep) and emotionally down.  I can't say that my mood has improved a great deal, either.  It's going to be a tough day, a tough weekend.  I'm hoping that pushing myself to do a few things I'll get some momentum and it'll get my mind off things.  I have cooking, cleaning and a little shopping to do and then I should really do some time at the office.  I might put that off until tomorrow - hell, I don't want to do it at all but I really do need to - but some combination of these things needs to happen.

Breakfast:  Oatcakes, 5 slices CF hickory smoked cajun bacon, coffee

Does it count as an egg pic if the contains an egg?
Absolutely fantastic.  The only part of this breakfast I'm not crazy about (you see what I did there?) is the cleanup.

Lunch:  Qdoba naked burrito, extra steak.  My request for light rice went pretty much in one ear and out the other, oh well.  Otherwise, standard and very tasty.

Not just alright, it's good.
It's going to be a carby day.  At least there probably won't be pizza involved.

Snack:  Too many peanuts in the shell.

Dead soldiers.
Dinner:  Bowl of soup.  The usual, last week's batch.  Forgot to take a picture.  I have a fresh batch on the stove as I type this too.

Also:  A couple of glasses of pinot noir.  Starting early tonight, we'll see how deep I get.

Exercise:  Usual morning walk.  As mentioned above, I really, really dragged this morning.  My heart wasn't in it and there wasn't enough recovery time.  But for the power of routine (and OCD) I probably would not have gone.  The pedometer said 4.0 miles (I did have to dodge a lot of snowplows), 1 hour and 13 minutes. Poky, poky, poky.  I skipped the push ups etc again.

There is no goddamned reason for this.

Edit:  Bonus exercise.  Shoveled several inches of snow, including plow debris.  Then I did a lap around the mall before lunch.  Doesn't amount to a great deal but every little bit of activity helps.  I ran into a neighbor I haven't seen in a couple of months and he added to the list of people that know me that have said nice things about how good I look.  Which I do appreciate, but still, long ways to go.

37.0
