Today Is (The) Day

Saturday, December 10, 2016

I know, it's crazy to start an effort to be good during the holidays, but today is the day.  It was a rough week.  By Thursday I was completely out of gas and Friday was dismal.  Lousy sleep, lots of stress, terrible eating.  Sick and tired of being fat and tired.  I slept a little better last night and managed an extra half hour or so and so I feel relatively good.  Let's do this.  Perfection may not be possible but I've got so much weight to lose that even being better I should have no trouble dropping a bunch.

And go.

Breakfast:  2 eggs over medium, 4 strips Meijer regular bacon, 2 servings Alexa hash browns cooked in butter (total 2T), coffee.

Perfect.  As always.

The only thing I didn't measure was the potatoes, I'm pretty confident though.  MyFitnessPal rings this up as 630 calories, a very reasonable total to start the day.

Lunch:  Qdoba chicken bowl.  Half white rice, half pinto beans, TL chicken, queso, fajita veg, pico, hot, light cheese, guac.

Qdoba keeps removing things I like from the menu....
and their new rewards program is much less favorable.

Estimate from Qdoba site is 680 calories.  Should be in the ballpark anyway.  Not the greatest effort ever by the Qdoba team, but in fairness it was like 3:30 pm.

Dinner:  6 oz spiral ham and 1/2 C green beans, 12 oz Pabst Blue Ribbon (not pictured)

This is what you call picture FAIL.  This is the part
of dinner that I *didn't* eat.  Same stuff though.

Meijer had a big sale on spiral ham, but the smallest one I could find was ~ 9 lb (for a half ham).  I forsee a LOT of ham in my future this week!  Meal, with the post-food beer, clocks in at under 500 calories.

So total calories for the day is just over 1,800.  If I eat that much consistently, I'll lose steadily for quite a while!

Exercise:  None, unless you count walking around the grocery store, which I don't.
