Okay Then

Saturday, January 11, 2014

Time to do this on a more regular basis.  Trying to remember what you ate for the last week is kind of hit or miss.  I think I got it all but can't be 100% sure.  It does help that I eat a lot of the same stuff and rarely snack.

Now then, it's about time to get serious about the New Year resolutions.  One of them is to eat at home.  I ate out more than I wanted last week, some of that was due to car issues.  I was also invited out to dinner on Friday and had a nice time.  Second part is to follow a budget - I am going to allow myself $75 a week-ish, $300 per month.  That should be ample to feed a single person, particularly since I have all kinds of spices on hand, a bunch of good meat in the freezer and a decent stock of other supplies.  I don't have processed stuff or a huge stock of canned goods, but I don't want to eat too much of that stuff any way.  I spent $23 at the grocery store today.

Breakfast:  Oatmeal pancakes, 4 slices of CF chipotle bacon, coffee

All sorts of YUM

Oh look, it's a picture!  Okay, this was only halfish of the oatcakes (I ate the whole batch, doh).  A nice tasty way to kick off Saturday.

Lunch:  12" Firehouse subs New York Steamer sub, pickle spear

Yup, that is a lot of food.

First time I have eaten there, wasn't sure what size to get so of course I defaulted to the giganto size.  Wow.  This was very good.  I think I'm glad it's not closer.  It was also $8 and change.  1160 calories!

Snack:  Chips and onion dip, 12 oz Bell's Two Hearted Ale

Dinner:  Homemade vegetable beef soup, 2 homemade garlic cheddar biscuits

Bowl of deliciousness.  

Late dinner, but I was pretty full so no big deal.   I actually had the chips earlier in the day, before lunch.  I want to try to calculate the nutritional information for the soup - it shouldn't be hard at all, I don't think - my intuition is that it isn't super caloric.

Exercise:  None.  It was raining hard when I got up.  I did walk around Wal Mart while my prescription was being filled and I went grocery shopping but those don't count.
