Reboot Day 1

Although it doesn't really impact me, the first day of school for the local kids.  The end of summer.  And a convenient time to really kick it into gear.  I feel pretty decent this morning - got in six hours of sleep (the drama kept me up a bit late but it was a very minor dose), a short walk and I'm about ready to get out the door to tackle the workday.  I'm hoping for a good one since I took the weekend off.

I had a hard time getting a reading on the scale this morning.  Hopeful that I will shed some water weight and get off to a strong start as a result.  I have goals.

Let's do this.

Breakfast:  Leftover egg casserole, coffee

Lunch:

Dinner:

Exercise:  Short morning walk, about a mile, 20 minutes.

Reboot Day Zero

Happy Labor Day.  After one of the worst weeks of my life, it really is time to get back on track.  When I say worst that's for non-food reasons, though the eating was fairly excessive too.  The good news, such as it is, is that the real life drama is slowly working itself out.  Not the way that I would like, mind you, but as the cliche goes, you can't always get what you want.

But I can get what I want when it comes to physical health, because that's all up to me.  I choose what I put in my mouth.  I choose what kind of exercise I get.  Oh, sure I can't control whether I get some incurable disease, but the basics are within my grasp.  It's again time to take steps to seize the initiative and fix things once and for all.

Today is involving cleaning up.  Getting rid of some stuff.  Due to that and because it's a holiday, there will be more food and less exercisin'.  I should start right this moment.  That would be the way to do it.  Instead, I am going to just try to be prepared to kill it starting in the morning.

Breakfast:  Corn bread scramble with eggs, bacon, cheese, tomato, avocado and pico de gallo, diced potatoes, coffee, 2 chocolate frosted donuts

Lunch:  Spicy beans with a hunk of cornbread.  I'm definitely on a cornbread kick today!

This might be the best batch of spicy beans I've ever made

Snacks:  A few chips and a little dip, some chips n salsa

Dinner:  Egg casserole (CF eggs, milk, Meijer sausage - didn't have any CF - seasoning, shredded sharp cheddar).  Another piece of cornbread with a generous whack of butter (not pictured).  Two oatcakes.

I'll be eating the egg dish for a few days...

Yeah, more cornbread.  I was going to have half a grapefruit too but decided to save it for tomorrow.

Dessert:  Haagen Dazs chocolate peanut butter ice cream.  Okay, done with that.

Exercise:  Nothing formal, just cleaning the house.  So:  None.  At least I moved around a bunch.
