Almost Back, Maybe?

Sunday, November 15, 2015

It has been a bumpy year.  Two moves later I am finally settled in to my new home and am in a position to start thinking about getting serious about self-improvement again.  Six months of eating nearly every single meal out (or via drive thru) produced predictable results.  And it was expensive.

This past week I finally came close to my target budget for a week's worth of food, $100.  That's a very generous budget for one person, and since I rarely go out for dinner or drinks it should be easily managed.  I'm not there yet but last week I finally started passing up easier options to come home and eat something on hand.  So progress.  It's still way too carb-heavy, but that should improve over time -- excluding Thanksgiving of course.

My scale is still packed away in storage somewhere, not sure when I'll be able to fish it out.

For practice, here is today's LOL diet:

Breakfast:  2 eggs fried in a little butter, 2 Bob Evans pre-cooked sausage patties, some Alexia hash browns cooked in butter, coffee

Breakfast, it's what's for breakfast

Snack:  Chocolate frosted donut, glass of whole milk


Lunch:  Leftover homemade macaroni and cheese

Mmmmac and way too much cheese

Snack:  Snickers bar

Dinner:  Chuck roast with gravy, 4 cheese mashed potatoes, carrots, roll with butter, canned peaches

Also:  Cheez Kurls  (yeah, no idea), glass of lemonade

Exercise:  18 holes with cart

Holy cow that was a lot of food.  I don't even want to think how many calories.
