Stiff Like Board Extra Stiff

Friday, January 24, 2020

As usual, very happy that it is Friday.  Much to do today but there is a weekend - and time to do personal projects - in sight.  Maybe someday the project list will diminish to the point where I can focus more on relaxing but for now it feels good to knock things off.  Plus with multiple reorg projects going things are kind of a mess at the moment.

Not a good night last night.  I wasn't sleepy and I can't force it.  I rarely have had trouble dropping off when lying down but since I'm not a back sleeper it's a struggle in the recliner.  I did manage a few hours, but when I woke up an hour before my alarm I was so uncomfortable I hit the bed and managed to find a position I could live with.

Feels like a significant setback with the leg.  It was very stiff this morning and it was hard to lift it enough to get into the shower.  Very unstable as well.  Initially I couldn't get enough bend to get into my car, but it did loosen up enough after a couple minutes.  Now that I'm at my desk at work it's feeling a little better, but we'll see how it goes when I get up.  I did order a couple things from Amazon in hopes of improving my foot issues and I should really make a focus on wearing slippers or shoes on my hard concrete base floors.  May have to go back to compression sleeves for the feet too.  If I start having issues with my right leg or foot it's going to get ugly.

On a more positive note the scale continues to tick down, even after yesterday where I ate bread twice and had a little popcorn.  Happy about that and I really haven't been hungry at all.  Meal sizes are coming down but I'm staying sated.  Butter is a miracle food (and I'm only half-joking about that).

Lunch:  4 strips thick cut bacon, 2 slices extra sharp cheddar, buttermilk wheat bread with butter


Was going to have eggs but decided to skip it.  Baked up extra bacon so I'll be having that this weekend, nice to use up the package.

Dinner:  Salami, 2 slices extra sharp cheddar, buttermilk wheat bread w butter, Fage cherry TruBlend greek yogurt


A lot like lunch, actually.  Whittling some things down.  Disappointed to read the Fage label and it's low fat yogurt, though at least it's 1.7% and not garbage 0%.  Too bad, because it's pretty good.  I think I made up for it with my other food choices.  Might have popcorn later.


Had popcorn.  It was excellent.  Cooked in coconut oil, topped with melted butter and garlic salt.

Exercise:  Not a chance.  Limping badly.
