Putting The Wonder In Wonderland

Tuesday, December 13, 2016

December continues to zip on by.  It's remarkable how fast it is going, and it's only going to get quicker given the looming onslaught of holiday parties, gift buying and other end of the year stuff.  Yikes.

Borderline didn't eat enough today.  I was a bit hungry before lunch and again come dinner time.  I may need to stock a few low calorie snacks to cover those situations.

Breakfast:  Egg McMuffin, large coffee

This picture was never going to be a beauty, eh?
Still, one of the better ones I've had lately.  Solid.

Of all the fast food items that I don't feel that bad about, the humble Egg McMuffin might be at the top of the list.  No, it's not idea.  But it's a real egg, real canadian bacon, processed cheese on a buttered english muffin.  And it's not super caloric.  It'll do on workout days.  290 calories.

Lunch:  Chef salad with ranch, coffee

Lettuce, ham, turkey, roast beef, an egg, half a tomato
and some sliced cheese.

Hard to say what to put for calories here.  A Cracker Barrel chef salad has about 400 calories according to MFP, plus dressing, no way to know what kind they use at this restaurant.  So I'm guessing here:  Let's call it 700 calories.  Good but overly expensive.

Dinner:  8 oz grass fed ground beef, pan fried, 2 medium potatoes boiled and mashed with measured butter

If that looks like a lot of potatoes, it is a lot of potatoes.
I didn't think 2 medium potatoes would make that much.

Turned out quite tasty.  Didn't have any milk for the potatoes but I didn't really miss it.  Just used butter and a bit of water for the mash.  Sprinkled with some Tony Chacheres creole seasoning and it hit the spot.  825 calories.

I might have to have a PBR here in a minute.  144 calories.  Still have eight or nine of these left.  They're ... mediocre.

Exercise:  Yes!  45 minutes of arms and cardio type stuff.  Good workout today.
