Among the sea of ennui, the annals of apathy, the general malaise at least something a little good happened this morning. I fell asleep on the couch last night which made for an early awakening. After dawdling for a good while, I finally talked myself into going for a short walk. And you know what? I'm glad I did. It felt good. Physically, I'm in wretched shape. Ground zero. But the fresh cold air and a nice easy pace got my blood moving a little bit and it just felt ... good.
Of course that didn't carry on to me seizing the day or anything - I ended up dozing off afterward and killing any positive metabolism impact. But I don't care. I went for a walk and I liked it.
Breakfast: 2 McDonalds breakfast burritos, coffee
I am so ready to be done with the house selling process. Not that I would be creating a lot of dishes with my usual breakfast or anything, it's more the mental block that pushes me into driving through for something as simple as coffee.
Lunch:
Dinner:
Exercise: Yes! A walk. I downloaded a pedometer app for my phone the other day and it said that I covered 1.0 mile, ~ 2200 steps, in 21 minutes of activity. I'll take it. And maybe I'll check at the end of the day for overall activity though my expectations are low.

Saturday, January 17, 2015
Yeah, things could be going better. I really need to get focused and DO THIS.

Sugg
Wednesday January 14, 2015
Sigh. Still not much traction.
Breakfast: Nope. Had to be somewhere early and knew that I'd be tied up at lunch, so ...
Brunch: Sausage/egg skillet, pancakes, coffee
Ate about 10:00 or so. Worked out decently, though quite hungry by dinnertime.
Dinner: 2 taco bell chicken burritos, beefy fritos burrito, slider, empanada
Too much food and LOTS of calories. And yet ... empty.
Also: 16 oz two hearted ale
Exercise: Nope.
Try again tomorrow.

Crack Encore
Tuesday, January 13, 2015
So yesterday ended with a crack. And I was so close to making it. I made it home without picking anything up and -- this is very rare for me -- ended up going back out to get a pizza. FAIL. At least I then stayed up for another five or six hours watching the football game but good grief.
A collateral consequence of staying up way too late two nights in a row is that my schedule is even more screwed up than usual. I don't feel too horrible which is nice but it will be a pain trying to fix it!
Breakfast: Salami, coffee
Same as yesterday, a little less salami since it's a late breakfast.
Lunch:
Dinner:

Let's Do This Seattle?
Monday, January 12, 2015
Well, all things considered I am in a pretty good frame of mind this morning. We will see just how solid my determination is but right at the moment I want to do this. Get it going, get it fixed.
I didn't jump right in with exercise. Up far too late last night. I'm actually surprised that I feel mostly decent given that I had maybe six hours of sleep. At least it was good sleep.
Breakfast: Salami, coffee
One of the things I need to do is be more consistent about taking pictures again. I feel like I am much more accountable for the things I eat when I document them that way. Of course I didn't take any this morning, but at least I can say 6 slices of salami and a large black Tim Hortons Coffee.
Lunch: Qdoba burrito bowl, water
Forgot to take a picture, oops. It didn't occur to me but I bet they'd be happy to sub lettuce for rice and I should do that next time. I had rice, pinto beans, steak, fajita veggies, queso diablo, light sour cream, light cheese, pico, hot salsa and a healthy dash of guac. Probably 1,000 calories or more but since it's "the meal" I'm okay with that!
Dinner: Deluxe pizza
Fail.
Exercise: Nope.

A Day Zero
Thursday, January 1, 2015
I forgot to mention yesterday ... I don't believe in starting anything on January 1. Not on a holiday. So today is the day before. I kinda woke up at the right time but didn't manage to stay up. I do think I'll be tired enough to get to bed early and get things underway. I don't know if the weather will cooperate, it was certainly horrible this morning - gale force winds and cold. We'll see.
Breakfast: Cornbread scramble, diced potatoes, coffee
Lunch: 5 guys cheeseburger, little cajun fries
Snack: Chips and onion dip
Dinner: Ham and scalloped potatoes
