Deluged

Saturday, June 26, 2021

It's been raining hard for a couple days and we have at least two more coming right up.  Multiple inch rains, the kind that prevent any kind of outdoor activity for hours at a time.  I mean, you could be out there, but you'd really have to enjoy being wet.  And dodge the lightning.  That's not me.

On the personal front, it was a pretty good week.  I felt decent, ate reasonably for the most part, got in more exercise than anticipated (thanks to work of all things) and saw happiness-inducing results on the scale.  Definitely a shade leaner here and there, definitely still have massive quantities of unnecessary weight especially around the middle.  Overall feeling very positive for once ... despite the fact that I woke up at 4:40 and have not been able to go back to sleep.  I wouldn't describe myself as peppy, but I'm functional and that makes me happy after a five hour night.

Breakfast:  6 strips Smithfield cherrywood thick cut bacon, coffee


Hungrier than normal this morning -- that is, I actually have some modest desire to eat -- so eventually I ate.

Lunch:  Breakfast tacos (2 eggs scrambled, 2 sausage patties, sour cream and hot sauce on corn tortillas)


Much later than I would have expected, ate at 2:00.  I guess dinner will be later than usual this evening.  Also cracked open a bottle of Dr Pepper Cherry Zero Sugar.  It's not bad, not sure it's better than regular DPZS.  I haven't found the ZS version of the with cream soda yet in anything less than a 12 pack, once I find a single or a two litre I'll try that variety too.

Dinner:  CF NY strip steak, mashed potato with butter, salad with Primal Kitchen ranch, 12 oz Miller Lite, will have a Halo Top lime bar later


Let's see.  About half of a 0.7 lb steak, so 5 oz or so.  One potato mashed with 1.5T or so of butter.  Salad mix, a small tomato, a few bacon bits, jalapenos and the ranch.  Tasty salad, will have again.  One of the better salads I've had lately. Was plenty of food.  Not the greatest steak I've ever had flavor-wise, but fine.  Will try seasoning the rest more heavily.

Exercise:  Nope.  Ran around doing errands but that doesn't really count.  It's been a day of modest accomplishments but at least a few things have been handled.
