The Good Kind of Loose

Saturday, June 6, 2015

A very pleasant feeling this morning.  No aches or pains - though I did sleep the last hour through a mild cramp in my foot - and my clothes were a bit looser!  Yes!  Even small amounts of positive change are super reinforcing.

Speaking of cramps, I've now had them the last two nights.  I wonder if there could be any connection to drinking wine?  I don't usually see any obvious correlations, so who knows.  Might need some more potassium also.

Managed to avoid drinking any beer after golf, which helped with dietary stuff and not spending money!

Breakfast:  English muffin with veggie cream cheese (on hand), large McDonalds coffee ($1.79)

I should not eat this every day, but it was quite tasty.  I ate it too quickly, I think, because my mind was still in full CONSUME mode after I finished it.  But no problem.  Ate a little earlier than usual as I needed to be out the door by 7:30, but it held pretty well.  I didn't need to eat again until lunch was ready at 2:00.

Lunch:  2 medium eggs fried in a bit of butter, 3 strips Meijer thick sliced bacon, a modest quantity of Alexa hash browns cooked in butter, a slug of V-8 juice and a packet of Taco Bell fire sauce (all on hand).

Standard.  Needed salt and pepper.

The new stove is not as powerful as the stove in the old place as the hash browns did not get crispy.  I probably could have used less butter as well for the small quantity I made - it wasn't more than a cup.  That reminds me, I should find my kitchen scale.  Another item missing, also need to find the salt and pepper.  This was all just fine though.

Dinner:  Grass fed NY Strip Steak, asparagus grilled with a little olive oil (all on hand)

STEAK.

First time I have grilled in a while and the first time ever for asparagus.  I was pretty pleased with the results, I think I ate about 6 oz of steak (it was just under 8oz on the package) and almost all of the asparagus.

Also:  Planning on drinking the rest of the riesling, so presumably another 2 glasses.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart.  I really should locate and start using the regular pedometer, because I don't keep my phone in my pocket when golfing!

Total Spent:  $1.79.  Win and it could have been zero if I had hooked up the coffee maker.
