Much From Little

An unexpected (and if you think about it, utterly pathetic) bit of triumph this morning.  Woke up at 4:45.  Didn't need to go back to sleep, felt fine.  Actually managed to get myself motivated and out the door for a short walk!  Okay, it took a while to get there and it was a very short walk, but I got outside.  I'll take it.

Yesterday evening was also unusually productive.  I had a list of things to do and actually accomplished a number of them.  It helped that I didn't turn on the TV or sit in the recliner.  Time didn't zip by as fast.  Happy.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Lunch:  Bowl of spicy beans with a little shredded cheddar, Wendy's single, 4 pc chicken nuggets

I probably should have had a little breakfast, it was a long time until lunch and I wasn't confident that I would be sated with the bowl of beans.  Went with a cheap (coupon) fast food top up - a terrible choice nutritionally but I'm not going to fret.

Dinner:  Dominos brooklyn pizza with pepperoni ham and jalapeno.  Five Guys cheeseburger all the way and chocolate malt shake

EPIC FAIL.  Tired and hungry, then seduced by free stuff.

Exercise:  Yes!  A very short walk, only a little over 10 minutes.  A few blocks.  I am counting it though since it was purposeful.

My feet did not feel good this morning although they seemed to hurt less once I got going.  I am definitely concerned about them but we'll see if I can fight through and they improve over time.  Also of note, I don't live in as nice of a neighborhood as when I used to walk consistently a few years ago now.  It's not unsafe, just not as pleasant to walk.  I'll have to think about routes to take.

Crashed Then Re-Crashed Then Added Gasoline

Yikes.  That's about all I can say about a month of just abysmal eating.  Binged beyond all reason.  And my waistline shows it -- big time.  Too many pizzas.  Burgers.  Sweets.  Dr. Pepper.  Pure garbage.  I could re-create a decent portion of it since I save receipts until they're noted for budget purposes, but I'm already not feeling good about this.

So.  Today is a transition day as I try to get back to doing better.  Not perfect, certainly.  Perfection is extra difficult this time of year.  But better.  Most of the time.  I made up a batch of soup and a batch of spicy beans about a week ago so I have some of those tucked away in the freezer.  I've been making homemade pizzas some and have dough in the freezer.  One of my objectives this week is to think of other things I can make on the weekend, portion and freeze.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Lunch:  3 egg omelet with bacon, ham, sausage, cheddar cheese, sour cream.  2 slices homemade wheat toast with butter

Out to lunch today, haven't been to this place in a while.  Pretty good meal.

Dinner:  CF ground sirloin in hamburger gravy with peas, 16" ham, salami and cheese grinder, mashed potatoes, Dr. Pepper

Edit:  Left work late so I opted for the grinder.  I did prepare mashed potatoes for the next couple days later in the evening and had a bit left over so I ate that.

Exercise:  Nope.  My feet have been feeling a little better of late, so that's a plus.  I'm still not moving much though.
