It felt like a miracle. Six hours of uninterrupted sleep! And I could have gone longer, since I woke up to my alarm. Glorious.
Otherwise, I'm just kinda waiting for the calendar to flip. Awful eating today.
Breakfast: McD sausage biscuit, hash browns, medium Coke, coffee
Lunch: McD 2x cheeseburgers, mcchicken, large Coke
Dinner: Jet's super special deep dish pizza
Exercise: Nope

Salinity Increased And Rinsed
Sunday, December 29, 2019
Thinking positive. I managed a couple three hours stretches of sleep last night, so that's encouraging. Consumed too much liquid to make it straight through, but I'm sure some of that is just a function of aging. Can't say that feel super rested, but at least I'm also not notably fatigued. I do think I could definitely use more rest since I'm a little sluggish after a lot of exertion yesterday.
On a thoroughly unrelated note, I got a super deal on a Navage, so I tried that this morning. I've used a neti pot in the past a few times, but never stuck with it. This went ... so so. Cleaned a little stuff out, dumped some water down my throat, it was a mixed bag. But I'll give it a while and see if it helps.
Breakfast: 2 eggs over medium, hash browns, 4 strips thick cut applewood bacon, coffee
Another smash hit. Love this meal. Finished off the hash browns, will have to buy another package. Also: Note the super duper artistic presentation!
Lunch: 2 grilled cheese sandwiches, chips and onion dip
More cleanup. Done with the store bread, finished the sliced cheese. Almost finished the chips and dip.

Dinner: Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, carrots, rolls with butter, 12 oz Miller Lite, christmas cookies
Yikes.

Expenditure Overload
Saturday, December 28, 2019
Very glad that it's a weekend.
Sleep continues to be an issue. Didn't go to bed until well after midnight and then woke up hourly due to physical discomfort. I just cannot find a position that works. At least I didn't have sinus issues for once, that was pleasant.
On the plus side, I don't feel too tired this morning and am continuing efforts to improve my sleeping setup. It'll take a while to get it fully set, but I can see progress. And yes, of course it costs money, just dropped a wad this morning buying a new area rug. Sheesh.
Breakfast: 2 jumbo CF eggs in butter, 4 strips thick cut applewood bacon, Alexia hash browns in butter, coffee
10/10, no idea how this could be better. Got a couple new pans for Christmas and they both worked flawlessly.
Lunch: McD 2x cheeseburger, McChicken, large Coke
On the go, decided I was hungry.
Dinner: Homemade pepperoni and extra cheese pizza
Very tasty. A bigger dough ball so the crust was thicker than usual. Still, all good.
Also: a little choc drizzle caramel corn
Cleaned that up. All gone.
Exercise: Nothing that counts, though I was super active today. Moved a lot of stuff including furniture. Cleaning. Etc.

Another sluggish morning. No surprise. Sleep issues are bad.
Breakfast: Almond banket pastry, coffee
Lunch: 2x McD cheeseburger, McChicken, large Coke
Dinner: 2x McD cheeseburger, McChicken, large Coke
Also: Choc drizzled caramel corn
Exercise: Not really. Moved more stuff, quite active in the evening, but it doesn't count.

Back to work. It was another super warm for December day. Lots of people with the day off found their way out to the golf course. Oh well.
Breakfast: None
Didn't even have coffee. Ran super, super late due to horrible sleep and resulting fatigue.
Lunch: 3 McD cheeseburgers, McChicken, large Coke
Grabbed this after a blood test and before some meetings. It was better than average. Stuff to not eat in 2020 though.
Dinner: Leftover turkey feast, same as yesterday minus the Miller Lite.
Exercise: Not really, though I did get a little burst of energy around 10:30 pm and I moved some stuff around for half an hour or so. Felt good to get that done.

Pre-Christmas
Tuesday, December 24, 2019
Glad to have the day off. I don't have a ton of preparation to do -- just make some snacks for a family party this afternoon. All presents are wrapped and ready to be loaded. Should be a pretty relaxing day.
Breakfast: Orange rolls, glass of whole milk, coffee
Last of the sweet rolls. Honestly pleased with how well they turned out. Even though I shouldn't and hopefully won't eat baked goods too often it would be nice to add a few new things to my repetoire as one of my biggest goals in 2020 is to cook at home instead of eating out/fast food/pizza all the time.
Lunch: Rye sausage/beef/cheese toasts (and on my bread too), bacon parmesan crackers, assorted crackers and bar cheez, celery w ranch, various sweets, lemonade
Holiday spread.
Also: 3 McD cheeseburgers, Coke
No idea why I thought this was a good idea, though ...
Dinner: Beef tenderloin, bread cubes with cheese fondue, bacony green beans, red wine, 12 oz Labatt Blue Light, a couple bites of chex mix
... turns out it wasn't horrible since dinner was about 10:00. Didn't overeat.
Exercise: Nope, though I was completely wiped out by the time I got home.

Overcome By The Wiped
Sunday, December 22, 2019
A bumpy start to the day. I stayed up too late last night, past midnight, as a live concert by one of my favorite bands was being streamed online. No regrets staying up to watch it, but I knew it was going to be a little rough. And sure enough. Woke up after a few hours. Forced out of bed at 6:00 by a combination of bladder, headache and knee pain (also sinus congestion but that's a given when laying down anymore). Went to the recliner, where I usually can't sleep, and boom, out. Only woke at 10:00 due to sun shining directly in my eyes through a crack in the blinds. The good news is that I feel somewhat better, especially after shower and breakfast.
Of all the motiviations to get things back on track and finally fix some of my issues, the prospect of someday getting a real, restful, full night's sleep is right up there at the top. Okay, fine, it's below extending my life expectancy from months back into years, but still, it's way up there.
Breakfast: 5 strips thick cut bacon, buttermilk wheat bread with butter, decaf coffee
I think this is my best loaf of the bread yet, used the slightly larger enameled cast iron and the loaf really turned out pretty. It's not very tall because there is way too much horizontal space, but that's fine, I'm not using it for sandwiches or anything.
Lunch: Homemade orange rolls, whole milk.
I guess I can call it lunch. It was only a couple hours after breakfast, if that. First try making cinnamon, or in this case orange, rolls. Turned out very nice. Would make again if a very special occasion called for them.
Snack: Chips and Salsa
Dinner: Chicken chop suey casserole, green beans w cheese, roll with butter, 12 oz Miller Lite
Sunday dinner. Turned out good.
Also: 3x McD cheeseburger, medium coke
Ugh unnecessary
Exercise: Nope

Here Comes The Pounds
Saturday, December 21, 2019
I thought of about six good post titles during breakfast ... and have promptly forgotten all of them. Standard.
Weird morning. Woke up slightly before 5, didn't have enough pep to get going for a while but the brain started spinning about work stuff. It didn't help that I was in the middle of a work-related nightmare when I woke. Ugh. Really going to need to not spend the weekend thinking about that.
Lots on the to do list for the day, we'll see how much gets accomplished.
Breakfast: 1 jumbo egg over medium, hash browns in butter, 4 strips thick cut bacon, coffee
Glorious. Exquisite even. A little heavy on the potatoes since they came out of the bag in a giant chunk.
Lunch: 1/2 package Kiolbasa breakfast sausage, chips and salsa, assorted holiday treats
Grazing. Lots and lots of the junk. Which is conveniently not pictured. Trust me, it was plentiful.
Dinner: Thin crust pepperoni ham pizza
Local not chain. Forgot to take a photo. Destroyed it.
Exercise: Nope.

Not Exactly As Pictured
Wednesday, December 18, 2019
I suppose that I had a bit more pep today, which is a good thing. Now if I can just go to bed at a reasonable hour, that would be swell. That remains to be seen, however.
Breakfast: Pumpkin bread with butter, coffee
Once again forgot to take a photo. Looks like I'll have enough left for both tomorrow and Friday, too. Now I just need to remember to take out more butter.
Lunch: A little leftover chicken soup-style, bread with butter, 2 slices sharp cheddar, Fage TruBlend yogurt
I didn't eat much at all of the soup, it just wasn't as good. Last time I ate it over mashed potatoes with way less broth and it was delicious. Weird. So instead I ate more bread and butter -- it was quite stale, Saturday bake to Wednesday is asking a lot -- and tried the yogurt, which was good.
Dinner: Ham, salami and cheese sub, garlic bread w cheese and pizza sauce, rice krispie treat
Was hungry, now am stuffed. Not an ideal choice.
Exercise: Nope.

Sigh. It's not good to run out of gas on Tuesday. I didn't sleep well last night apparently and this afternoon I had no pep. Sure would be nice if Christmas lined up so I'd get a long weekend out of it instead of a week with a Monday, two days off, then two days on, then a weekend.
Breakfast: Pumpkin bread with butter, coffee
Same. Again forgot to take a photo.
Lunch: 2 jumbo eggs over medium, 4 strips thick cut bacon, medium avocado, 2 slices sharp cheddar, slice of bread with butter
A delicious lunch full of satisfying fat.
Dinner: Domino's pepperoni, ham and green olive pan pizza
Doggone convenient cheap quick pizza.

Leg Day
Monday, December 16, 2019
Whew. Long day. A dinner and a few projects await at home.
Pretty pleased with how much I accomplished around the house this weekend. I sure have a lot more to do, but at least there was some progress. And even though it wasn't a super productive day I did feel pretty accomplished -- during my lunch hour I threw a chicken leg quarter and some vegetables and stuff into the slow cooker so that dinner will be mostly done. I'm usually not that motivated, thus the pizza problem.
Breakfast: 2 slices pumpkin bread with butter, coffee
Stock photo (i.e. from yesterday) since I somehow forgot to take a picture. Like this but with more butter. Anyway ... a few days left of this. It was better cold. I will say that I didn't *need* breakfast, but it was still enjoyable to have it with my coffee.
Lunch: Tacos with sharp cheddar and fire sauce
I like tacos. I may even continue to buy the shells until eating at home is firmly established as a habit.
Dinner: Slow cooker chicken with vegetables, mashed potatoes, bread with butter
I had the bread and butter when I got home, before I started working on the potatoes. It was nice to eat a little something to satisfy the insane portion of my brain that thinks I should always eat immediately when I get home from work. Chicken with vegetables cooked soup style was very tasty. I shredded the chicken and added it back in. For tonight's meal I just added a couple scoops of broth, but I'll definitely save the leftovers as soup, since I dunno if I'll feel like doing potatoes tomorrow.
Exercise: Nope.

Pizza Dunnit
Sunday, December 15, 2019
Sure would be nice if pizza weren't the enemy. And no, cauli crust pizza is not pizza.
Getting an early start on the post. I have high hopes for a productive day. Yesterday lost a chunk to holiday shopping and then a bunch more to watching the Presidents Cup.
Breakfast: Pumpkin bread with lots of butter, coffee
I was going to use my new stand mixer (which I haven't taken out of the box just yet) but this recipe doesn't really call for it, it's too delicate. Maybe next weekend, or this week for pizza dough or something. I had a bunch of expiring gift certificates to use up so I didn't spend much cash on it. One of the few kitchen gadgets I don't have. As for the pumpkin bread, it was OK.
Lunch: Tacos (with shells), guacamole, cheddar jack cheese and fire sauce
Bought shells when I went to the store on Friday, as a way to make sure I ate the pound of ground beef I had sitting in the fridge instead of eating out or something all weekend. Also used up the container of guac that I bought last week. Next time, I should look for the single serving packs, that was a LOT of guac. Changed the flavor profile of the tacos -- not in a bad way. Suitably stuffed.
Dinner: 1.5 hot dogs and 1 brat with bun, mashed potatoes, salad, 12 oz beer, vanilla cake with vanilla ice cream, 3 McD cheeseburgers
Sigh. Still me.
Exercise: Nope. Very active around the house today and very tired by evening, but nothing resembling concerted exercise.

Shop Til Your Recliner Drops
Saturday, December 14, 2019
Grateful as always -- pretty much anyway -- for the weekend. Off to a lazy start, hanging out in the recliner taking care of most of my Christmas shopping. Thank you Al Gore for inventing the internet, it's a life saver. I'll probably venture out shortly for a couple stops, but those shouldn't be too rough.
Breakfast: 5 links Kiolbassa breakfast sausage, coffee
Felt like eating. In hindsight I would have been happy with 2 or 3 links, but my stomach and brain just aren't ever on the same page. These are good, they're just different. Don't have so much of that standard breakfast sausage taste and they're denser in texture than most sausage. Will get again.
Lunch: CFA chicken sandwich, spicy chicken sandwich
No photo taken.
Decided to try and finish as much of my shopping as possible, which meant that I was out come lunchtime. Used points for a free meal. Good idea considering that I spent ample quantities. Not as much as the guy ahead of me at Walgreens who put $500.00 on a Cabela's gift card though.
Dinner: Homemade pizza, pepperoni, bacon and mushrooms
Turned out quite good. The misshapen pizza was a consequence of stretch fail. Once I failed the glutens got angry and wanted no part of being stretched or rolled. Since I have no patience, I lived with it.
I'll probably have another small bowl of the Rebel ice cream later.
Exercise: Nope. Some walking while shopping but not enough to count.

Lunch: 2 eggs over medium, medium avocado, 5 kiolbassa breakfast links, Alexia hash browns in butter
A fine lunch. Not even terrible cleanup.
Dinner: Taco salad, pork with extra avocado and hot sauce
Pretty good. Probably won't make this a weekly thing, but it was solid.
Edit: Also had a little Rebel ice cream, butter pecan flavor
This was pretty good. I don't know that I'd want to eat a large quantity as a time, since it has erythyritol which will do fun things to your digestive system when you go crazy, but it was a nice treat.
Exercise: Nope.

Legends of the FAIL
Thursday, December 12, 2019
Sigh. It's been a tough week. Lots of work stress. Not great sleep. And then there's bad eating.
Ugly.
Lunch: Corned beef hash, eggs over medium, wheat toast
I asked for raisin toast, I got wheat. Oh well. I hadn't been to this place in a long time.
Dinner: Pepperoni bacon pizza
Quite tasty of course. But too much.
Exercise: Nope.

File Under Blip
Tuesday, December 10, 2019
And on the week goes. Glad to see that a small increase in weight was just a blip.
As mentioned yesterday I'm going to skip writing breakfast: coffee. Noting black coffee seems fairly pointless. I already skip mentioning carbonated water.
Lunch: Ham bacon beans, 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese, bread with butter
Good stuff. I was surprised that the bread was in fine shape considering I made it on Saturday. Just stored it cut side down on the cutting board with a towel over it.
Dinner: Domino's pan pizza with pepperoni, ham, green olives
Oops. Weekday dinners continue to be a problem.
Exercise: Nope.

Sometimes Unexpected Bloat
Monday, December 9, 2019
Really a shame that it had to be Monday. It was a long day.
Got a sideways look at myself this evening and good lord. Awful. Amazing how that weight hangs on the midsection and the bloat, it is real. Not terribly pleased to be up a bit this morning, but I did eat way too many carbs yesterday.
Onward. It's going to be a miserably busy week.
Breakfast: Coffee
I may just eliminate the breakfast section if I stick with two meals a day.
Lunch: Qdoba bowl - double brisket, scoop white rice, pico, verdo, cheese, guac.
I absentmindedly got pico instead of roja but it was fine. A good meal, though I needed to be more specific on the rice, I think I got a full scoop instead of a small scoop. I was going to get sausages from the BBQ place but they're closed on Mondays.
Dinner: 4 ground beef tacos, mexican style with hot sauce and avocado
Standard Monday fare. Decided to grab this instead of eating at home since I turned right around and went back to work.
Exercise: Nope.

Cleaning Up The Kondo
Sunday, December 8, 2019
Super thankful that it's a weekend day. I accomplished a surprising amount yesterday (by my very modest standards anyway) and I'm looking to keep the ball rolling today. The to-do list is far longer than I can hope to accomplish, but just seeing the number of things that were crossed off yesterday is a little inspiring. Schedule is still off but basically two hours shifted back toward good. A similar shift tomorrow and I'm right there on weekday schedule.
Since I didn't need or want to eat right away when I got up I decided to tackle a project. I cleaned out my closet. Tossed a couple pairs of torn up jeans, grabbed a few things to donate -- not much, just a couple -- sorted and reorganized. Took an hour or thereabouts and I feel so good having it done. Didn't go full Marie Kondo, but just having it in better shape is bringing joy.
Breakfast: Coffee
I guess technically since I started the coffee about 10:30. Still more of a brunch thing today since I got up very late and will be eating closer to wake up than usual.
Lunch: 3 CF jumbo eggs, scrambled with shredded extra sharp cheddar, 5 strips Kiolbassa thick cut pepper bacon, homemade buttermilk wheat bread with lots of butter
Too much. Next time, 2 eggs, 4 strips bacon is plenty. Plus 4 strips should allow for a neat 3 servings per package.
Dinner: Chuck roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, carrots, 12 oz Miller Lite, roll with butter
Ate too much, especially too many carbs.
Exercise: Nope.

Porky, Poky and Peckish
Saturday, December 7, 2019
I enjoy nonsensical post titles.
Stayed up way, way too late last night. Got into a book. Didn't sleep until after 3:00, which of course has me completely out of whack today. Finally got up at 10:30, feeling meh but revived after a shower and some coffee. I have things to do.
First order of business will be some cooking projects. I have some bread dough to bake, going to make some ham and beans, and I'll need to get some carnitas in the slow cooker shortly. If the pork dishes turn out I should have eight or ten freezer meals. ... hope I have room.
Brunch: 2 jumbo CF eggs over medium, Alexia hash browns in butter, 5 strips Kiolbassa thick cut pepper bacon, coffee
Ate about 1:00, maybe a bit after, so it wasn't really breakfast, though it was closer in time to get up than I am usually eating this week. I also managed to set off the smoke detectors for the first time in the two or three years I've been living here. Oops. Had the hash browns on a different burner which was apparently more powerful than the one I usually use. Second time getting the bacon, this time it was cooked perfectly and I really liked it. When I went to the store I got a couple other Kiolbassa products to try as well. Nice to see no funny stuff in the ingredient list.
Dinner: Ham 'n Bacon 'n Beans, homemade buttermilk wheat bread with lots of butter
I mostly winged it on the beans, other than using the trusty spicy beans time guideline for how long to keep them on the stove. Turned out delicious. And the bread, really really good for almost zero effort.
Exercise: Nope. I will say that I have been at least a hair more mobile the last couple days. If I'm rested especially. I would still be put in a world of hurt by more than one flight of stairs, but any progress is good progress. Definitely want to do more regular walking hopefully soon.
Now if I could just get consistent rest. It's odd and unpleasant being unable to sleep well. Finding a comfortable position is hard. I get random knee pain from the one that is wrecked. More than ever before I have to get up after a few hours to hit the restroom. Bah.

Glad the week is over. It was a positive one, though I still have a mountain of work to do. That ... is a problem for another day.
Breakfast: Coffee
Lunch: Bowl of beef stew, glass of whole milk, 2 slices sharp cheddar
I like the stew, but I don't think I can eat it every single day. So I'm going to come up with some things to make and freeze this weekend.
Dinner: Taco salad with al pastor pork, extra avocado, hot sauce, glass of whole milk
Went grocery shopping after dinner, stocked way up. As a consequence, I didn't get home until after 7:30 and by the time I put the stuff away I was hungry. Didn't want to wait a half hour to prep the planned breakfast for dinner, so I walked over and got a taco salad. Asked for half the usual rice ... I think I got more beans and more everything else because it was still enormous. Couldn't quite finish it but I came close ... like I said, I was hungry. Milk has been finished.
Note to self: Next time maybe go get the groceries *after* dinner.
Exercise: Nope

Extra WAPpy
Thursday, December 5, 2019
I'm not inclined to believe that one good clean day makes *that* much of a difference, but I will say that I'm having a pretty good day today, at least through lunch where we are so far. Even though I was tired when I woke up, I haven't been foggy or fatigued ... which is very nice. Even accomplished some volume stuff at the office.
Breakfast: Coffee
Not notably hungry. I really do think that you get used to a pattern when it comes to breakfast -- if I don't eat it on a regular basis my body adjusts and it's no big deal.
Lunch: Bowl of beef stew, 2 strips thick cut bacon, glass of whole milk
Decided to go extra Weston A Price today. The Fishman book says the schoolkids fed his nutritious stew also got a couple glasses of milk and some rolls with butter. I have a glass half gallon of the best whole milk that hasn't been completely used up, so why not drink a glass? No rolls tho, and I had to settle for two strips of bacon leftover from the weekend in place of the butter. All good.
Dinner: Leftover taco meat, extra sharp cheddar, fire sauce
Not bad at all. Would have been better if I'd heated it more and had another avocado but still good.
Exercise: Nope.

Beef Cheese Beef Cheese
Wednesday, December 4, 2019
How about that, a successful day. It was a near thing, I came perilously close to pizza for dinner, but fortunately I ate the easiest access kind yesterday and had enough time to talk myself out of it while going home from work.
Breakfast: Coffee
Another early start to the workday. No hunger.
Lunch: 2x Wendy's singles with cheese, no buns
The two singles were a dollar cheaper than the double. Ordered them plain, tossed the buns.
Dinner: 1/2 lb ground beef with taco seasoning, extra sharp cheddar, fire sauce, large avocado
Look ma, no shells! I also considered buying some on the way home but laziness won out. Yay.
Tried a new seasoning mix this time, just organic spices, no cornstarch. It was very good. I'm sure it would be cheaper to just make my own, but being lazy and all I'm glad I had this in the cupboard. Leftovers for tomorrow too.
Exercise: Nope. If I'd gone to sleep when I went to bed last night, maybe. Instead I started reading a book and 4 hours later.... Finished it tonight, but too late to have much hope for tomorrow.

Fifty Percent Or So
Tuesday, December 3, 2019
Sigh. A strange day.
Woke up OK. I was a few minutes late getting out the door for my early work start but not bad. I dozed (very lightly) for a while during a wait in a medical office. Took an early and long lunch, dozed some more. And it's not even 7:30 and I'm starting to yawn. Add in that I was not the least bit interested in anything work-related today and it really was not great Bob.
On the positive side, I was doing really well until about 4:45 on the food front. At that point, I decided I was hungry. After another hour of work that, plus being tired, led to a crack. Doggone it. At least I went another day without soda and didn't have any sugar today, just starchy carbs. So it wasn't all bad. Just bad.
Breakfast: None
Didn't even have coffee today, just a little water.
Lunch: Pint of beef stew
This is a batch I made a few weeks ago that's been in the freezer. It's based on the Weston A Price nutritious stew in Stanley Fishman's book, just no bone marrow. I also throw in some potatoes, not sure if those are in the recipe or not. I've eaten a lot of this over the years. This batch is beefier than usual since I used a 3 or 4 pound chuck roast.
Dinner: Domino's pan pizza with pepperoni, ham, green olives
Like I said .. doggone it.
Exercise: Nope.

Back To Something
Monday, December 2, 2019
Was not excited to go back to work. It didn't help that I had an early start. Oh well, those are the breaks. It was kinda nice, I will admit, to be back in a routine, even if I wish there were not so many hours in the work day.
Breakfast: Coffee
Lunch: 2 Culvers double deluxes, no onion
This was a bit much for whatever reason. It would have been nice if I could have skipped the buns. Baby steps today, though -- no soda.
Dinner: 4 mexican style tacos, plus cheese, hot sauce. A few Lays chips. A small glass of chocolate milk
Tacos were big tonight. Almost forgot to take a picture. Not many chips, just the dregs of a bag, maybe an ounce or so. And a modest sized glass to finish off a pint of chocolate milk. That stuff is so good -- it's from a semi-local dairy, in a glass bottle, and it's just fablous. It's also expensive, but it would be worth it if I could drink it on a regular basis.
Exercise: Nope.

Water By The Pound
Sunday, December 1, 2019
Sad that it's the last day of a long weekend. I didn't get a whole lot accomplished (and will not), but so it goes. At least I'm a little more upbeat today.
Went to bed a little earlier last night, all it meant was that I woke up earlier. 4:00 to be exact, which is stupid. Lost a few pounds of water. At least I was able to go back to sleep for once. Ended up sleeping in, sort of, dozing in the recliner after a second water withdrawal. No idea where all this liquid is coming from.
Breakfast: 4 slices white bread with butter and mozz cheese, 3 strips thick cut bacon
Have now tossed the rest of the bread. Pretty sure Thanksgiving is about the only time of year I'd ever buy white bread, it's just not good.
Lunch: Leftover tacos with sharp cheddar and fire sauce
Used up a bag of shredded cheese, so there was a lot.
Dinner: American goulash, roll with butter, a little salad, apple pie and vanilla ice cream. 12 oz Miller Lite
Also: 2 McD cheeseburgers, Dr. Pepper
Exercise: Nope.

Saturday, November 30, 2019
Didn't find a whole lot of energy.
Breakfast: Hostess giant donette, whole milk, 2 slices sourdough, 4 strips bacon, butter
The donuts had a horrible chemical scent to them and were not very good, so I quickly chucked what I had left. Never again.
Lunch: Tacos with sharp cheddar and TB fire sauce
I got smaller shells this time. When I cut out the grains I wonder how much I'll enjoy bowl tacos. 80% as much? Maybe.
Snack: Chips and jalapeno cheddar dip, lemonade
Dip label mentions genetic engineering. Probably a good idea to be done.
Dinner: Turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes.
Hit the leftovers hard. Deli turkey, packet gravy since I didn't have any of those left. Was kinda uncomfortable afterward so I'm going to toss the stuff I have left. Tasted good tho.
Exercise: No chance
