Down With That

Saturday, July 30, 2022

Actually on second thought never mind.

TGIS.

Breakfast:  2 eggs over medium, 3 strips bacon, hash browns, raisin toast w homemade jam, coffee

Standard pre-golf breakfast out.  Very slow service.  Nearly forgot to take a picture.

Lunch:  12 oz Miller Lite, Jalapeno cheese popcorn

Dinner:  Bellatoria frozen sausage pizza

Pizza was OK.  They were out of the deluxe this time.

Later:  24 oz Miller Lite.  Went to an event.

Exercise:  18 holes w cart, lots of walking.  Then I walked downtown for the event and back home.

Another One

Friday, July 29, 2022

The month is about over.  Yikes.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Pepperoni, cheddar, butter on pretzel roll, Fry Daddy jalapeno ranch mix

Also known as the out of ham sandwich.  Cleaned up the mix, it was quite a bit.  And (DOH) I bought a bag of regular flavor at the store tonight.

Dinner:  Dominos thin pep saus mush, Nicks cookie dough

Not as good as the last time I got this combo.  But it was fine.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, moderate extra walking

29.2

Another Little Tick

Thursday, July 28, 2022

Happily had another tiny tick down on the scale this morning.  It wasn't expected but it also wasn't a complete surprise.  I don't think I retained many calories from lunch.  Yeah.  I was rather fatigued late afternoon, I definitely think lack of food energy was a factor.  It would have been nice if I had gotten extra sleep but it really only amounted to 10 or 15 minutes. 

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.  Busy enough that I never got around to that third cup.

Lunch:  Sandwich, Fry Daddy's ranch jalaeno mix

The mix is a lot like deluxe chex mix.  And I should not buy it, because after one day I'm pretty sure I could eat an entire bag with no difficulty.  Which would be bad, and not just because a bag is eight bucks.

Dinner:  Qdoba chicken bowl, Nicks PB cup

I dunno, it sounded good.  No regrets.

Exercise:  Nope.  Back at it tomorrow I believe.

29.4

A Tick Below

Wednesday, July 27, 2022

A small drop on the scale means another new low.  That's a fun thing and comes despite some pretty shaky eating lately.  I wonder what would happen if I actually got serious.

Got up at the now-usual time, didn't sleep great and snored more than usual.  Probably has a lot to do with eating too much too late due to golf league. 

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Sandwich, chips and onion dip

Shouldn't eat onion dip during the week ldo.  Or, for that matter, ever.  Sandwich was ham, pepperoni, cheddar, butter on pretzel bun.  Will eat the same thing tomorrow.

Dinner:  Qdoba chicken bowl, a sample of Fry Daddy's ranch jalapeno snack mix, Nick's triple choc

All female crew at the Q tonight and they did not hook me up.  Plus they were out of fajita peppers.  Bummer.  Oh well, it was still pretty tasty.  Chicken is growing on me as an acceptable option, though I still very much miss the brisket and I'd rather have barbacoa (or the pollo asada at Chipotle).  The snack mix was an impulse buy, a product made here in the state.  I just had a little sample and it's quite good.  Will have some with my sandwiches the next couple days. 

Going to bed early, I'm out of gas.

Exercise:  Nope.

29.6

Not Much Change

Tuesday, July 26, 2022

More of the same.  Most of the physical labor part of moving is done, now it's just the process of organizing and eventually restoring the work flow.   Still calls for very long days.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Ham, pepperoni cheese on buttered pretzel bun, chips and onion dip

a/k/a a sandwich.

Dinner:  Chef salad with ranch, 12 oz Two Hearted IPA, Nick's strawberry

Meh salad, they were out of Miller Lite.  But the Nicks was delightful - I think it's the second time I've tried the strawberry and I liked it a lot this time (was very meh the first time).  Will get again.

Exercise:  9 holes with cart, moderate extra walking.  I am now very tired.

30.6

Activity Defeats Gluttony For Once

Monday, July 25, 2022

Whew.  Tired this morning.  At least I had a pleasant surprise on the scale.  Tomorrow won't be as kind.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  3x american tacos, jala cheddar popcorn

Had dinner for lunch since I have dinner plans of a sort

Dinner:  Steak, salad no dressing, garlic toast, chips, blueberry pie and ice cream

Was given the pie, it was very tasty.

Exercise:  Mercifully, no.

30.4

The Most Activity

Sunday, July 24, 2022

I don't know that I can ever remember a more active string of days.  Today was just once again just ridiculous.  Up at 4:30, doing moving stuff by 5:30, stopped just in time to get in a round of golf and then back for a couple more hours.  Good grief.  And there will definitely be some more of the same this week.

One side effect is that I was discombobulated enough this morning to forget to weigh in.  Oops.

Breakfast:  Coffee, donut

I had the last donut (technically the last two halves) of Friday's box.

Lunch:  BK southwest bacon whopper, chicken nuggets

Calorie bomb.

Dinner:  Brat w M, chips, pickle spear, asparagus, 16 oz Mich Ultra, Nick's cherry chip.

All good.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, average extra walking.  Plus all that other activity nonsense.  I am tired.

Even More Activity

Saturday, July 23, 2022

Phew, long day.  Finally home just as it starts raining at dusk.

Breakfast:  Standard pre-golf breakfast, except no golf.

Extra good today.

Lunch:  Deluxe sub, later had half a donut

A fat sloppy mess but very tasty.

Dinner:   Qdoba chicken bowl, CFA frosted lemonade

Got a FAT bowl with lots of chicken.  My burrito bro hooked me up.  The frosted lemonade was a treat and the best one I've had in a long time.

Exercise:  A very long and full day of moving stuff.  Very active.  I'm counting it.

31.2

Moving Things

Friday, July 22, 2022

Whew.  Long day.  Long week.  And it's not done.  Moving at work and it's a lot.  

Breakfast:  Donuts, coffee

Yeah, I figured I was going to be earning those donuts.

Lunch:  Jimmy Johns east coast italian, salt and vinegar chips, light lemonade

Quick break with the crew.

Dinner:  Deluxe pizza, salad w italian, 12 oz Miller Lite, Nicks PB choc

Pizza was extra good tonight.  I had two little slices (1/4 of a 10" pie), a nice pile of salad and a cold beer.  It was delightful.

Exercise:  Well, yeah.  Moved a lot of heavy stuff.

31.2

Somehow Unpaid

Thursday, July 21, 2022

Huh.  I don't know why, but despite eating pizza and the general craziness of the week I was down again this morning.  A new low I believe.  Should double check.  But I think so.  It would sure be nice to lose a couple more the next few days -- there will be opportunity as physical furniture moving will be happening -- but due to busyness the eating may be crap.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.  I had about thirty seconds when I went by a restaurant where I thought I would actually like breakfast, but then remembered I just hadn't had coffee yet due to a blood draw and that I would be satisfied with that.  Good feeling.

Lunch:  Pepperoni and cheese sandwich

No ham today, ate it up yesterday.

Dinner:  Qdoba chicken bowl, Nicks mint chip

Pretty standard Q order, it was fine.  Still miss their brisket.

Exercise:  Nope.  Unless you count moving-related activities, which I do not.

31.2

Oh Man

Wednesday, July 20, 2022

The week rolls on, my goodness.  It's only Wednesday.   Wow.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.  When you get up when I've been getting up it's become 3 cups not 2.

Lunch:  Sandwich

Same as yesterday.

Dinner:  Dominos thin pep saus mush, 12 oz Coors Light, Nicks triple choc

One of their better efforts, was quite enjoyable.  If I had had time late afternoon I would have had a snack, so I was rather hungry by the time it was dinner time.

Exercise:  Nyet.  Unless you count moving stuff.

32.6

Endless Hours

Tuesday, July 19, 2022

It's been a long week already.  So it goes.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Ham, pepperoni, cheese, butter on a pretzel bun, jala cheddar popcorn

Like it says.

Snack:  Mixed nuts

Dinner:  Chef salad with ranch, 12 oz Miller Lite, Nick's mint chip

Standard.

Exercise:  9 holes with cart.  Warm and humid.

The Most Painful

Monday, July 18, 2022

Yeouch.  I woke up in the middle of the night, dozed in the recliner for a few minutes and then made the move back to bed.  Instantly seized up with a notably painful cramp -- foot cramp causing my toes to curl.  Ow.  Finally cleared that, dozed on the couch to hit the trifecta and got up at 5:00.

Accurate guess on the scale this morning.  I drank a ton of water yesterday, not all of which left, and also ate like crap and too much too late.  I'll live.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Ham, pepperoni and cheddar on a buttered pretzel bun, chips and onion dip

Cleaned up the cheese, chips and dip.  Quite efficient.

Dinner:  2x american, 2x mexican tacos, 12 oz Coors Light, Nicks cherry chip

Fat tacos tonight.  Pretty good.

Exercise:  Nope.  Rest day.  I'm rather tired, so very sleep deprived.

36.2

What On Earth

Sunday, July 17, 2022

Just saw a commercial for a whooping cough vaccine ... for adults.  Wut.  

Another busy day coming up.  Woke up at 3:30 and this time I couldn't get back to sleep.  Doh.  On the plus side, before I went to bed last night I think I figured out why blogger wasn't playing nice with google photos.  So far so good and that makes me happy as it's so much more convenient that downloading and uploading.

Breakfast:  Lazy bagels w whipped cream cheese, coffee

Not good for me but pretty tasty.

Lunch:  Chipotle pollo asado bowl, DQ reeses blizzard

Dinner:  2x brat M/MR, chips, salad no dressing, a little vanilla ice cream w choc sauce, 12 oz Miller Lite

Also -- TB spicy beefy burrito, chipotle grilled chx burrito.

Exercise:  18 holes with card.  Am suitably tired.

33.6

It's Getting Real or Realer

Saturday, July 16, 2022

Still living in bizarroland.  Woke up at 2:30, managed to make myself sleep in fits and starts until 4:30.  Actually spent time at the office before leaving for golf at 7:00.  So much to do and I'm just so inefficient.

Breakfast:  Standard pre-golf

Yup, 2 eggs over medium, 3 bacon, hash browns, raisin toast w homemade jam, coffee.  All good.

Lunch:  Chips and onion dip, 12 oz Miller Lite

Snack-like.  As usual, ate way too many.  Need to stop buying.

Dinner:  Deluxe frozen pizza, 24 oz Coors Light, Nicks triple choc

Second time I've had this pizza, it's pretty good.  Bought a bunch of Nicks so I'm very well stocked.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, about average walking.

33.8

Whew Again and Again and Again

Friday, July 15, 2022

Whew, glad it is Friday.  Woke up without the alarm at 4.  In to work shortly after 5.  Which made for a long morning.  At least I got a decent night of sleep with very little snoring and I didn't gain any weight despite pizza and short rest which I never would have expected.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.  Two regular, one decaf and I could have easily had more.

Lunch:  Soup, pretzel bun w butter and sharp cheddar

Self-explanatory.

Dinner:  Mini frozen pep saus pizza, jala cheddar popcorn, 24 oz Coors Light, Nicks PB choc

More than a little excessive.  Sigh.  The little pizza was decent, was on sale recently for $1.  390 calories.  About the same as the Nicks.  Pic is obv of half, at least I remembered.

Exercise:  Nope.  Been a bad week for that.

33.6

Messed It Up Once

Thursday, July 14, 2022

So far I've messed up once and wished someone a nice weekend thinking it was Friday.  It is not.  Doh.  This has been a very, very long week.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Leftover egg bake, sharp cheddar on a buttered pretzel bun

Forgot to take a picture of the egg.  Looked just like yesterday.  Last of this week's effort which was quite good.

Dinner:  Dominos thin pep sausage onion, 12 oz Coors Light, Nicks mint chip

They were out of ham.  Weird.  Forgot a photo.  Oops.

Exercise:  Nope.

33.6

Cocoa Butter and Camping Supplies?

Wednesday, July 13, 2022

Yeah the highlight of today is listening to the Amazon prime day commercial when it comes on.  So much work.  So little time.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Deluxe Sub

Ate fast.

Mid-afternoon meal:  CFA spicy, frosted lemonade

Need to stay away.

Dinner:  Leftover egg bake, 12 oz Coors Light, a few mixed nuts, Nicks triple chocolate

Exercise:  Nope.  Get me to the weekend.

32.8

Brutality

Tuesday, July 12, 2022

Long day.  Woke up well before 5:00 and got up not long after.  In the office by 6:00.   Yuck.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.  Could have used a few more cups too.

Lunch:  Chef salad w ranch.

Different place, haven't been there in quite a while.  It was OK.

Dinner:  2x TB chipotle grilled chicken ranch burritos, 1x spicy double beef burrito.  A few mixed nuts, chips and onion dip, 12 oz All Day IPA, Nicks cherry chip

Early and late, had a 7:00 meeting to run.

Exercise:  Nope.

33.2

And More Predictability

Monday, July 11, 2022

So.  Much.  Stress.

This is not good.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Leftover egg casserole, some mixed nuts

I don't know what they did to break blogger (and google photos) but this effing sucks.

Dinner:  2x American, 2x Mexican tacos, 12 oz All Day IPA, chips and onion dip, Nicks triple choc

They did a good job with the tacos tonight.  Very solid.

Exercise:  Nope.  I mean I spent a couple solid hours cleaning the house, but that doesn't really count.

36.4

Predictable Retention

Sunday, July 10, 2022

I could see it coming.  Thirsty last night.  Drank a lot of water.  Didn't let much go.  Also retained other stuff this morning, didn't get that moving.  And so the scale as expected was up quite a bit.  I know it'll go away, but it's still a good reason not to eat that crap.

Breakfast:  Lazy bagels, coffee

Completely forgot the cream cheese.  Oops.

Lunch:   Egg bake (eggs, milk, sausage, ham, swiss/gruyere cheese, onion, green pepper, jalapenos)

Tasty.

Dinner:  Home cheeseburger MPT, chips, salad no dressing, 12 oz Miller Lite, strawberries and vanilla ice cream, chili cheese fritos

Yeesh.  Too much.  But good.  It's a shame it's the last of the strawberry season.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, quite a bit of extra walking.

36.2

Spoken Words

Saturday, July 9, 2022

TGIS.  Again not much to say today, nice summer day.

Breakfast:  Standard pregolf breakfast out.  (2 eggs, 3 strips bacon, hash browns, raisin toast w strawberry jam, coffee)

Forgot to take a photo until I was almost finished.  Oops.  A little extra jam today.

Lunch:  Jalapeno cheddar popcorn, 12 oz Miller Lite, 12 oz Coors Light

Dinner:  Home Run Inn frozen meat lover's pizza

Excessive.  Very.  But pretty good.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, average walking

33.4

I Guess That's Usual

Friday, July 8, 2022

TGIF.  Didn't have a ton of pep today.  Nothing much to say.  Not many accomplishments either, though I guess getting my groceries is one thing I can check off the list.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Soup, 2x hot dog bun w butter and sharp cheddar

Cleaned up the odd buns.  Soup could have been hotter, was in a rush.

Dinner:  Onion burger, chips, 16 oz Mich Ultra, sweet potato waffle fries, Nicks mint chip.

Solid.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, as much extra walking as possible.

35.4

Not Much

Thursday, July 7, 2022

Not much to say today.  Work is insane.  I'm swamped.  It's stressful.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Stacked ham and cheese on pretzel bun.  CFA spicy and frosted lemonade

Same as yesterday.  No chips tho.  And then I went to CFA.  Doh.

Dinner:  Hot dogs w KMO, Alexia onion rings, 12 oz Coors Light, a few cashews, Nicks triple chocolate

Cleaned up the dogs.  Applegate naturals, quite good but pricy.  I was underwhelmed by the onion rings, though they were better air fried for 8 minutes than they were at 10 yesterday.

Exercise:  Nope.

34.4

Salad Clearout

Wednesday, July 6, 2022

Having a salad for dinner remains a good thing.  Moved out a bunch of stuff from the system and between that and a haircut (lol) I was leaner and lighter this morning.  It's kinda a shame that I get bored with salad (other than the late lamented taco salad) super fast.  Oh well.  Bad stuff on tap for dinner tonight.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Stacked ham and cheese on pretzel roll, chips

Working on cleaning some things up.  I'll finish the pretzel buns, ham and cheese tomorrow, wiped out the chips today.

Dinner:  Hot dogs, air fried Alexia onion rings, 12 oz Coors Light, a few cashews, Nicks PB cup

Not exactly health food, but I'll clean up the rest of it tomorrow.

Exercise:  Nope.  Rest day.
