A Most Unusual Sensation Satiation

Friday, June 5, 2015

Settling into the routine.  It is not proving to be too difficult, really.  I'm eating less breakfast and making better, if not perfect, choices at lunch and dinner.  An occasional treat is nice too - a beer, a glass of wine, some fruit, that sort of thing.

Anyway, today's title is based on something that is super weird to me.  I went to the grocery store after work and took way too long.  I spent quite a while debating what I wanted to get for dinner and could not decide.  A rotisserie chicken?  Mini meatloaf?  Something else?  I finally gave up and just decided to have a chef salad using some of the stuff I was buying.  Anyway, long story short, I'm famished.  I get home, throw stuff in the fridge, quick make dinner.  I sit down, eat half of the english muffin with cream cheese and ... I'm satiated.  SAY WHAT?  I'm never full, at least not anytime close to when I start eating.  Never.  Well, except yesterday when the same thing happened before I really dug into the eggs.

This is so strange to me, but I sure hope it continues.  If I am not hungry and know right away that it will make me uncomfortable to eat a bunch more ... I won't.  This would be a revolutionary change.  I could eat one slice of pizza instead of five!  That sort of thing.  If only I knew why!

Breakfast:  2 slices sharp cheddar (on hand), large McDonald's coffee ($1.79)

Standard.  I'll hook up the coffee maker this weekend.

Lunch:  Omelet with andouille sausage, green pepper, onion, maybe cheese and cajun sauce, coffee ($9.95 incl tip)

Not the greatest ever but still solid

Also pretty standard.  And good.  And hot.  Yum

Dinner:  Chef salad (salad mix, mushrooms, ham, salami, ranch dressing), 1/2 dill pickle, Aunt Millie's sourdough english muffin toasted with Kraft veggie whipped cream cheese (on hand after spending $41.08 at Meijer)

Don't know why I couldn't eat more SALAD

Oh my goodness, that english muffin was tasty.  And I have like five more for the week!  Not as many calories as a bagel, I suspect.  But very good.  As mentioned I couldn't eat the whole salad, I ate maybe half of it.  I did eat the dill pickle.

Also:  Will have a couple more glasses of wine.  2012 Chateau Ste Michelle reisling, so a little sweet.

Exercise:  Nope.  Beautiful evening but I didn't get home until after 7:30, made dinner and soon I'll be ready to crash.  Not a great week for sleep.

Total spent:  $11.64 plus $41.08 at the store, so $52.72.  I did buy a dish brush.
