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.
