Maybe Not Quite As Sluggish

Wednesday, October 8, 2014
Day 3

I woke up and got up on (the late) schedule this morning, which was good.  I did not, however, rush around and charge into the day.  Instead I was a slug again, just not as much.  Fortunately I did have something that I needed to do at work so I couldn't dawdle too much.  It is going to be a busy day.

Breakfast:  ~ 1 slice Kraft sharp cheddar (Big Slice), coffee

I say ~ 1 slice because this package is very crumbly.  Sometimes that happens.  Oh well.  It's still good.  I do think I should get away from eating just cheese for breakfast -- someday I should try no dairy but I don't see that happening soon.  It is just too convenient.  Convenience is the key.  And that reminds me, in one of the low carb cookbooks there was a meatball recipe where the author mentioned how good they were cold with thousand island dressing.  I might have to make a batch of those sometime, I remember the recipe as being pretty good!

Lunch:  Cheddar cheese omelet with sausage gravy, 3 pancakes with butter/margarine, coffee

 I need to learn to ask ... is it butter or margarine?

I almost had enough time to stop home for lunch but as it turned out I did not.  So out I went when I got a break - not until 2:00! - and got breakfast.  Next time I think I'll try just getting sausage instead of the gravy.  Of course I should skip the pancakes but I think I'm not too worried about having starch with one meal.  I will just need to be good come dinner time, and judging from how full I am I don't think that will be a problem!

Dinner:  Homemade vegetable beef soup, 1 slice sourdough toast with lots of butter

Mmmm soup

I can (and will) eat this all the time.  It's such a simple soup, but it's good.  I'm sure I could find ways to punch up the flavor even more, but I like it just fine.  And the one slice of toast is a pleasant complement.  In the future I may find that I need to axe the toast, for now let's see how it goes.

Dinner also notable for being later than usual - I actually didn't need to eat right away when I got home!  It would be awesome if that continued.

Randomly, I find myself quite curious about how many calories I took in today.  Obviously breakfast was just over 100.  Dinner seems like 600-700 at most.  Lunch, who knows.  1500?  Regardless, with even a little activity I will lose weight if I eat less than 2500.

Exercise:  Nope.  As mentioned, sluggish.  And late afternoon the sinus allergy issue really kicked my butt.  I don't like to do *anything* when it's there.  I'm a wimp.
