A General Failure of Motivation

Day 4

Hooray for inertia!  Seriously.  In just four days I have developed some pretty good apathy toward eating bad stuff.  It fits right in with everything else -- today I have been VERY unmotivated.  It has been appalling.

I did make it to the grocery store this afternoon so that I could pick up some additional veggies and stuff.  I am prepared to make another batch of soup and I have a few salad fixings as well.  Now I just have to decide what to have for dinner tonight!

Breakfast:  1 big slice Kraft sharp cheddar, coffee.

No photo.

Lunch:  Omelet with bacon, green pepper, onion, cheddar cheese.   1 slice sourdough toast with butter.

Still very hard to go wrong with breakfast

I decided to go out (dubious, but it's that kind of day) and went with a western omelet except I asked for bacon in place of the ham.  It was quite good.

Dinner:  1/2 of a package of Tyson pot roast with gravy, 1 boiled russet potato, green salad (Dole Mediterranian however that is spelled mix, pickle, salsa verde)

Roughage.  Yup.

Why do I like potatoes so darned much?

I think this was the first time I tried one of the pre-cooked entrees of this type.  It was pretty decent.  Not the same quality as local meat prepared with all real ingredients, but still pretty good.  And it was very easy, which is obvious, since that's the selling point.

Interestingly (to me anyway), the package calorie count for the pot roast and gravy was only 630.  Officially 3.5 servings, but to me it's two modestly sized portions.  Still, a little over 300 calories isn't bad at all -- add another 100some for the potato and not much for the salad and it's a light meal.

Exercise:  On a day of zero motivation?  I don't think so.
