Almost On

Sunday, May 4, 2014

There was something of a failure of will yesterday.  But it could have been much worse.  At least there was no ice cream involved, nor any sugar at all, so it's a small positive.  Of course I ate about 4,000 calories, which is a big negative, but I'm thinking positive today.

Anyway, back at it.  Slept in big time.  Thinking seriously about whether I might need to abandon all hope of my desired routine, which would be going to bed early, getting up by 5:00 and getting out for a walk.  That's what I was doing, but for various reasons it has been a long time since I could do it consistently.  Too many nighttime demands.  So what I'm thinking is with the return of golf season, I get up later, like at 7:00.  Work, get home about 6:30, have a minimalist dinner and get in my walk about 7:30.  When the weather is decent I can get it in by hitting the golf course.  That gets me home in the 9:00 range, with time to clean up, do a project maybe, meet my social obligations and still get to bed around 11:00.  Maybe this will work.  Refinements will undoubtedly be necessary and it is heavily dependent on my getting done during the day what I need to get done.

Oh, and I really need to remember to step on the scale tomorrow.  I wonder how much damage the last month has done.

Breakfast:  2 eggs over hard in a bit of butter, 4 strips spartan bacon, Alexia hash browns cooked in 3 T butter.  Coffee.

The eggs, a bit over done.  Pity.

For variety I did these in butter instead of in evoo this morning and I think the flavor is actually a bit closer to regular diner hash browns when done that way.  I wondered if the heat would be too much for the butter so I kept it down just a shade, no problems noted.

Lunch:

With the late breakfast I didn't need anything major for lunch.

Dinner:
