In The General Direction Of On Track

Saturday, January 9, 2016

Slept in big time after a long week and a late night.  Needed it.  Had a headache when I woke up, I certainly suspect that I'm not breathing well when asleep for multiple reasons.  If I get on track and start losing the weight it will get better.  Today, however, will probably only represent modest progress toward getting on track -- I have a birthday party to go to tonight.

Breakfast:  2 eggs in a bit of butter, 4 slices Meijer bacon, Alexia hash browns in butter, coffee.  625 calories.

Hide those hash browns!

The standard.  I have this absolutely nailed, so I don't feel much urgency to change it up.  Sure it might be nice to get some veggies in here (and subtract hash browns) but it is so good.  Plus the calorie count is reasonable and I actually feel somewhat sated after eating it.  Maybe I should start doing this for weekday lunches idk.

Lunch:  Qdoba burrito bowl with chicken, chips.  1,200 calories (est)

Not pictured, have posted it before.  Didn't get a ton of guac this time.

It has certainly occurred to me that I really should just eat two meals a day.  It would be a lot easier to stay in the calorie range.  If I had a more flexible schedule I really think I'd be fine eating an early lunch and an early dinner.  Oh, maybe I'd eat a bite or two of something for breakfast with my coffee, but it wouldn't need to be more than a couple hundred calories at most.

Dinner:  Beef tips in mushroom gravy, cashew chicken with mustard sauce, roasted potatoes, green beans, salad with ranch, a dinner roll with butter, small slice of birthday cake with a scoop of ice cream.  Dunno, 1,500 calories?

Birthday party buffet.  I didn't eat out of control but I did try everything.  So good.

Also:  Meijer jalapeno chips.  500 calories (est).

Exercise:  Nope.

Total Calories: 3,825 (est).  Not good.
