Nobody Has Ever Wished You Happy November

Monday, November 1, 2021

October is in the books and I would describe it as reasonably successful.  Maybe even better than that.  Hard to get a real accurate assessment given that I was on vacation at the start of the month.  Still, I'm a lot lighter than I was before I left and that's despite a big run up when I got back.  Some more consistent exercise and a tighter weekday meal rotation have been good things.  Let's keep it going.

Also in the plus new front I tried on a pair of pants from the next size down and they fit, which is good because the current size (and the pair I'm wearing today which is one size bigger yet) are now too big.  I don't have much of a supply of the next size down, so I need to hurry up and lose about another 25 so I can get down to the smallest size I have on hand (from the 2013-early 2014 era iirc).  I'd have a ton of dress shirts too if I lost that poundage.  It's possible I might have some small sizes yet but they won't be of my preferred pants which I only discovered 10-15 years ago.

Up a bit on the scale this morning, way too much starch and french fries too.  More normal eats coming up today.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.  Three cup day.

Lunch:  Hamburger soup, HSCR toast w butter

Standard.  New batch not as good as the prior batch.  Did a better job on the bread though.

Dinner:  Taco salad, 12 oz All Day IPA

Only difference from last week was that they were out of fresh pico when I got groceries so I subbed some medium Meijer fresh salsa.  It has a pretty good kick, I'm definitely feeling it.

Exercise:  Walk, 1.2 miles, 27 minutes.  The bare minimum.  Everything from the knees down complained a lot about this, at least up to the last two blocks or so.  Didn't sleep great last night which didn't help, I think that plus the afternoon golf meant that a recovery day was in order.  Going to try for more & better sleep tonight.
