Inconsistency in Enthusiasm

Tuesday, March 25, 2014

I'm fairly frustrated by the wild swings in my level of enthusiasm.  Last week I was driven to succeed at work.  This week (so far) I am tired, bored and apathetic.  It would be nice if I would grow up already.

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

Lunch:  Subway 6" ham and provolone on jalapeno cheddar, all veggies no spinach, southwest sauce (470 calories)

Same meal, different picture.

One of the better Subways I've had.  Then again, no reason I couldn't just get this as a salad.  I should look into whether it's still $3.00 plus tax if I do it that way.  I really should have some nuts or something in my office to snack on at the end of the day - this just isn't quite enough calories to get me comfortably to dinner.

Dinner:  Breakfast bowl again, this time 2 eggs fried in a bit of butter, the rest of the 'sausage', and 252g of the Alexia hash browns (2 C) in 2 T evoo (1,100 calories)

If this bowl is full of anything other than lettuce...
 you know I ate too much.

Again a lot of calories but a lot of food.  I cut the eggs from 3 to 2, skipped the sour cream and scrambling and didn't open another can of salsa.  Super delicious as is, even though the eggs were a bit overdone.  I was amused to determine that I had 209g of hash browns left in the package for today after I had already used 2 cups 3 times, so either I way undershot or else the package information is messed up.  The sausage was better the second day, which wasn't much of a surprise.  More time for the flavors to meld.  And I overestimated the calories slightly both days, since I have counted way more green pepper and onion than I actually put in.

Dessert:  3/4 oz (1/4th of a) Theo 85% cacao chocolate bar, 1 T meijer natural crunchy peanut butter (205 calories)

Lousy picture of a dessert

This was pretty good - I mean, it's chocolate and peanut butter.  Not as perfectly paired as a less intense chocolate and creamy peanut butter, but it's what I had on hand and still a lovely treat.

Day Totals:  1,960 calories.  Yep.  And I even had dessert.

Exercise:   Nope.  Being a little active this evening but again nothing that counts.  Soon I hope.  Going to be an early to bed kind of night.
