Overshifted Much

Saturday, November 13, 2021

TGIS.  Was able to get to bed at a reasonable hour, but not early.  Slept okay.  Woke up ... at 3:15.  Got rid of some water and pretty quickly figured out that I was not going to get back to sleep.  Sigh.  I don't usually do too well on less than six hours.  But it's been going okay so far three hours later.  I felt better during my walk, it wasn't hard to get out there after being up for a while.  We'll see how hard I fade later but fingers crossed it will be OK.  But yeah, getting up that early would be an overshift of the schedule.  Big time.

Time to get cleaned up and see if those Siete chips did anything negative.

Breakfast:  3 egg omelet with bacon, cream cheese and avocado, slice HSW with butter, coffee

Whew.  That was a lot of food.  I'm stuffed.

Lunch:  Home pizza with ham and mushrooms

Not a lot of pizzazz in this old dough from the freezer, but it was still tasty.

Dinner:  Deli roast beef in homemade tomato gravy, TCD style mashed potatoes

I had fun with a new toy - an electric vegetable peeler - and winged the gravy (butter, flour, seasonings, onion, beef stock and tomato sauce), turned out delicious.  And I have more for lunch tomorrow and will try freezing a container of the gravy for another meal.  I may yet have an All Day IPA.

Yeah, WAY too many carbs today but they sure have been tasty.

Exercise:  Walk, 1.8 miles, 41 minutes.  I added two blocks onto Thursday's distance, largely repeating that route.  It's not easy, there is a good sized hill that has to be navigated both ways.  Felt a little more spry than usual so I think the pace was slightly better.  I do hope to get down to a legit 20 min/mile or better soon.
