How I Know

Sunday, March 23, 2014

How I know that I need to cut the starch?  Still have a bunch of water weight.  How I know that I need to exercise?  Unrealistic expectations are not being met when it comes to the pace of loss.  Oh there is a bunch of other stuff I know, but who cares?

Breakfast:  2 slices sharp cheddar, coffee (185 calories)

Experiment time.  Having the usual weekday breakfast with plans to have an early-ish lunch.  Maybe not as early as it might be come summer, but still.  We'll see how it goes.

Lunch:  2 CF eggs fried in a bit of butter, 4 strips meijer bacon, 2 C Alexa seasoned hash browns fried in 2 T evoo (760 calories)

Hey look, it's a bowl

Same as yesterday's breakfast just with one less egg, one more strip of bacon and served in a bowl.  The bowl actually worked quite nice.  Anyway, I was kind of inspired by the presentation - there are a ton of variations on this that would be good.  I'm going to try one with seasoned ground pork tomorrow for dinner, I think.  I could do a western bowl with ham and green peppers, maybe scramble the eggs.  Add cheese.  I could skip the eggs, do it with beef and maybe some tomato.  Of course I could just use a regular potato, too.  I will say that the frozen hash browns are easy, though.  This is one of those times where paying for convenience isn't terrible.  Oh, and I found they were $0.28 less at meijer!

Dinner:  Chop suey casserole, green beans with cheddar cheese, roll with butter, a little applesauce (1,200 calories)

Calories are definitely a guess on this one.  I didn't go nuts but I did eat quite a bit.  Seems to be my destiny on Sunday nights.  At least I refrained from eating any cake.

Day Total:  2,145 calories.  More or less.  Satisfied with this - I think the small breakfast on Sundays in particular is the way to go given my dinner issues.

Exercise:  Nope.  Much less active today.  Tired, even took a nap.
