Stomach Over Brain

Thursday, February 1, 2018

It's a new month.  Sort of getting on track in late January has boosted spirits and a few pounds have been shed.  I can't say that it's been a huge breakthrough, I'm still fat, tired and weak.  But at least there is a little reason to be optimistic.

Coming home after work my stomach was lobbying for a pizza or burger.  Of course I wasn't actually hungry, it just wanted the feeling of being full.  Mouth joined in and the chorus was loud and obnoxious.  But I prevailed.  Barely.  Stupid traitorous organs.

Breakfast:  2 slices sourdough with generous butter, 1 package buddig beef, coffee

Standard.

Lunch:  Qdoba brisket bowl

I like pics so much better in landscape.  Doh.

Also standard.  Today's burrito artist was a little more generous.  It was a good bowl.

Dinner:  CF spicy beef bacon, 1 slice sourdough with generous butter, V-8

Okay, that's NOT a pretty picture.

I probably could have skipped dinner.  Without much consequence even.  But I am wondering if one of the reasons that workouts have been hard lately is that I'm just not eating enough.  We'll see.  I did enjoy it though -- even though I overcooked the beef "bacon" it had nice heat to it.  Will eat again (and not just because I still have 2/3 of the package left!).

Exercise:  35 minutes variety.  Lots of core.  Today was a MAJOR struggle from the start.   Just very weak and kind of tight.  Heart rate got up quick.
