Again Nope (Not Ope)

Monday, October 31, 2022

Fortunately for me, I don't much care about Halloween.  No candy needs to be purchased (no trick or treaters), so no temptation.  All good.

Up some this morning after a rocky day yesterday.  I'll get my head on straight one of these days.

Breakfast:   Coffee

Yup.  3 cup morning.

Lunch:  Leftover sausage crust pizza, 2x TB chipotle grilled chix burritos


Very tasty, will eat again.  Definitely on an italian sausage kick.

Dinner:  2x mexican, 2x american tacos.  Later, SF white choc pudding w unsweet coconut



Standard.  No beer tonight, went back to office.

Exercise:  Nope.

Both Flat and Puffy

Sunday, October 30, 2022

Sigh.  Why is it that the body pushes back hardest against getting rest on nights when you really need it?  Between cramping and various other aches and pains it wasn't a restful night.  Got up a few times as I made sure I was well hydrated last night.  So as a result my energy level is rather flat so far today.

No meaningful change on the scale, flat there.  Despite that I was notably puffy in the belly.  Wheat belly.  Middle aged man belly.  Whatever you want to call it.  Too many carbs.  Too much garbage.  Carbage.

Breakfast:  Lazy bagels w veggie cream cheese, coffee

Standard.  No photo b/c charging phone.  Did change up the cream cheese.

Snack:  Grilled cheese


Downside to the lazy bagels, not enough protein.  So I used up some bread and cheese.

Lunch:  Sausage crust meatzza w/ pep mush gp onion, mozz, parm


A very cheesy day.  This was very tasty.

Dinner:  Round steak, mashed potatoes, cheesy green beans, rolls w butter, 12 oz Miller Lite, ice cream w choc sauce

Sundays.

Also:  McRib/cheeseburger/fries

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, well above average extra walking.  Tired.

Humping Hills

Saturday, October 29, 2022

Another beautiful late fall day.  Glad to have a couple nice weekends before the gray, damp and cold set in.  I don't really mind winter (except for driving in it and walking on icy sidewalks) but that doesn't mean I look forward to it.  I'll take the other three seasons thanks.

Breakfast:  Standard pre-golf breakfast out


Good as always.

Lunch:  Chips and queso, 16 oz Mich Ultra


Knew I was going to rake leaves so I had lunch.  Otherwise I would have just skipped it.

Dinner:  Ham and salami sub, garlic cheese bread w pizza sauce, 12 oz Miller Lite, rice krispie treats

Tasty takeout.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, not that much walking.  1.5 hours of leaf raking including several trips up and down a very steep hill.  A good workout.

Mystifyingacation

Friday, October 28, 2022

A meh end to a not notably great week.  Lots of bad eating.  

But!  For whatever reason the scale was down this morning.  I did get rid of some non-water, but still, I did not in any way expect a drop after another night of bingeing.

On to the weekend.  Next week needs to be better.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.  At least there weren't any treats at work.  I mean other than the leftovers of whatever it was that I avoided yesterday.

Lunch:  Qdoba brisket bowl


Okay, but not really worth the 20 minute wait in line.

Snack:  TB 2x chipotle grilled chicken burritos

Yeah, my favorite cheap fast food.  An a thousand unnecessary calories.

Dinner:  Mexican chuck roast, mash TCD style, 12 oz All Day IPA, little snack mix, vanilla SF pudding w unsweet coconut




Was shooting for barbacoa, didn't quite get there.  Note to self, it would be better if you cubed the roast next time.

Exercise:  Nope.  At least I'll get some this weekend.

Stop Saying It Could Have Been Worse

Thursday, October 27, 2022

... I mean yeah, it could have been worse.  But I need to stop doing things that all but require me to say that when disaster doesn't strike.  So. 

Anyway, a very small bump on the scale, nothing horrible despite last nights binge.  I think there will be some bad eating through the weekend, but hopefully not quite so over the top awful.  And then I need to buckle down.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.  I avoided whatever baked good treat was brought in to work.  So far.

Lunch  Soup, gilled cheese, jalapeno chips


Standard but with chips.

Dinner:  Sack of McDonalds, 12 oz Miller Lite, Nicks mint chips

Sigh.

Exercise:   Nope.  This is a recuring theme.

Wednesday, October 26, 2022

The Fail Is So Extreme

Wednesday, October 26, 2022

Going to need a hard reset.  So bad.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Soup and grilled cheese, chips and onion dip


Yup.

Dinner:  Sack of McDonalds, chips, 12 oz Coors Light

Sigh.  I won't lie, I enjoyed the McRib.  Will probably get again.  But this is just not cool.

Exercise:  Nope.  At least the weekend looks good.

Mangiaday

Monday, October 24, 2022

Busy day.  Lots to do.  Did not get off to an early start, which did not help.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Leftover sausage w peppers and onions, red lentil pasta, sauce, parmesan.  Great Lakes cherry BBQ chips w onion dip


Need to stop buying carbage you know  Need to start buying more of the local sausage, that stuff was good.

Dinner:  3x american 2x mexican tacos, 12 oz Coors Light

Too much.

Exercise:  Nope

It Always Can Be So Much Worse You Know

Sunday, October 23, 2022

Taking a minute this morning to be grateful.  Grateful that I'm never hungry, that I get by financially, that I've been relatively healthy and have such great family.  That's the big stuff.  But I'm also grateful for little things, like when I don't take a huge hit on the scale despite multiple days of semi-binging.  I only say semi- since it's been mostly limited to dinner.  So at least there is that.

Anyway, going to practice some gratitude this morning.

Downside to nice weather this weekend is the golfing.  I mean yay for fresh air and exercise but it sure soaks up a lot of time, golf plus chores means little time for the office which is where I really ought to be right now.

Breakfast:  Lazy bagels w plain cream cheese, coffee


Not thrilled with the schedule, was up too late last night doing the laundry so I was not rested enough to get up early.  And I've dawdled quite a bit this morning.  Not good.  You know what was good?  The lazy bagels.  Extra tasty this morning.

Also:  Coconut crunch mini donuts - an impulse buy at Walmart.  Dumb.

Lunch:   Italian sausage with peppers and onions, red lentil pasta, pasta sauce


Extremely delicious.  Sausage from a local place, had the pasta and sauce on hand.  First time other than in store sample I think for the pasta, I liked it.

Dinner:  Fry daddy's snack mix, home burger, chips, potato salad, vanilla cake w choc pb ice cream, 2x TB chipotle chix burritos

Yeah, it was kind of a blowout today.  Completely unnecessary.

Exercise:  14 holes with cart, more walking

38.2

One Part Start

Saturday, October 22, 2022

Okay then.  TGIS.  Very much TGIS.  Got the weekend off to a positive start, getting up well before my alarm and actually getting underway.  Not instantly, but much more promptly than any other day this week.  I even had time to spend an hour at the office before heading to breakfast and golf.  Not a lot of pep this afternoon, but OK.

Breakfast:  Standard pre-golf breakfast out


Yep, one millionth time.  Bacon not pictured, waitress initially forgot it, had to ask.

Lunch:  Chips, Meijer pickle ranch dip, 12 oz Miller Lite

Way too many chips.  Dip was decent.

Dinner:  Deluxe sub, breadsticks w pizza sauce, 12 oz Miller Lite


Sub is very good but also different than the deluxe sub I sometimes get for lunch from a different place.  Definitely messy!

So sated that I never felt any need for the SF pudding I had planned.  And yet worrying that I wasn't uncomfortable since I once again ate way too much.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, not that much extra walking

Friday, October 21, 2022

Somehow Again

Friday, October 21, 2022

Yeah, now I've seen it all.  Ate way too much pizza.  WAY too much.  And the scale was down a little bit.  I don't get it and will never get it.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.  Had two cinnamon sugar donuts at the office later.

Lunch:  Soup and grilled cheese


Yup.

Dinner:  2x Culvers double deluxe, 12 oz Miller Lite, a small bag of fry daddy mix, SF vanilla pudding w unsweet coconut


OK.

Exercise:  Nope.  Additional FAIL.

Thursday, October 20, 2022

That's Just Stupid

Thursday, October 20, 2022

Yeah, the human body is ridiculous.  I violated every rule last night, ate bad, ate late, ate a zillion calories, ate just absoutely horribly.  No exercise, just work.  And instead of bloating up I unexpectedly get rid of some water and am down this morning.  Sheesh.  Was way off, WAY OFF on my prediction, even after I'd adjusted it down.  I'll never fully understand.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Soup and grilled cheese


Yup.

Dinner:  Deluxe pizza, 12 oz Miller Lite, vanilla SF pudding w unsweet coconut


OOOOOF.  Ate way too much pizza.  And yet my stomach doesn't feel too stretched.  This is not good.

Exercise:  Nope.  Same story.

It's Mornings

Wednesday, October 18, 2022

Another morning where it was a challenge to get going.  I got up when the alarm went off, but didn't stay awake long.  Dozy.  And even when not all that dozy I kept putting off starting the day.  Pathetic.  I spent lots of time worrying about all the work I have to do and not nearly enough time doing anything about it.  Sigh.  

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Soup and grilled cheese


Yup.

Dinner:  Qdoba brisket bowl, parm ranch potato chips, Wendy's biggie bag, strawberry frosty

Oops.

Exercise:  Nope.  See above.  It was another lousy weather morning, but I wouldn't have been able to make myself get out there if it were 60 degrees.  Pathetic.

That's Obvious Disconnect

Monday, October 17, 2022

Hey dummy, if you stop piling on pounds of water weight, you'll spend less time in the facilities getting rid of it.  This is not rocket science.

Obvious disconnect in the thought process.  Broken brain.  Pretty good guess at the scale though.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Soup, grilled cheese


First of the new batch, plenty good.

Dinner:   2x mexican 3x american tacos, 12 oz Coors Light, a few mixed nuts, choc SF pudding w unsweet coconut



Got an extra taco, but as it turned out I didn't really need it since they were pretty fat tonight.  

Exercise:  Nope.   Probably for the best, had some leg issues yesterday.

Fat Mentality

Sunday, October 16, 2022

Someday I'll get past this.  Going to be up a few tomorrow.

Breakfast:  Lazy bagels w cream cheese, coffee


Tasty.  But not satiating.

Lunch:  Leftover deluxe rotel dip w extra beans


Had a lot more left than I expected.  Added some beans, had an extra can in the fridge due to a lid issue yesterday.

Snack:  2x TB chipotle chicken ranch burritos

My favorite junk food fast food snack

Dinner:  Meatloaf, mash, cheesy green beans, rolls w butter, 12 oz Miller Lite, vanilla ice cream w choc sauce


Very tasty.  But way too much.

Also:  Small bag of Fritos

Exercise:  12 holes with cart, not all that much extra walking

A Minor Surplus

Saturday, October 15, 2022

In an unusual twist, I actually had some energy today.  Even what I would describe as a surplus!  Moved a lot faster, had pep in the step, wasn't at all tired after golf, did six quick blocks through a craft fair after I got home.  What a pleasant surprise.

Breakfast:  Standard pre-golf breakfast out


Dependably good.

Lunch:  Grilled cheese, 12 oz Miller Lite


Had a little bread leftover from the week and wasn't quite ready to fix dinner.

Dinner:  Deluxe Rotel dip with chorizo, Siete grain free tortilla chips, 12 oz Miller Lite, SF white choc pudding w unsweet coconut



Dunno why but I still feel like eating after eating all that.  Just the act, I'm not actually hungry.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, a good amount of extra walking.

Moar Buhbye

 Friday, October 14, 2022

Not unhappy to see more water depart.  I thought it had slowed down but apparently not too much.  We'll see how things unfold this weekend.

Otherwise, at least I didn't wake up at 3:00 ... I woke up at 2:45 thanks to the darned water.  But this time I went right back to bed and slept reasonably well the rest of the way.  Credit to staying up much later, I guess.  I did have decent pep last night which was good for a change.  I was also not at all hungry after dinner - stayed sated for hours.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Soup and grilled cheese 

Standard, except the sandwich was fat.

Dinner:  Qdoba chicken bowl, 2x TB chipotle ranch chx burritos, 12 oz All Day IPA, butterscotch SF pudding w unsweet coconut 

Wanted to try the brisket, they were out.  Drat.

Exercise:  Nope.  Schedule move in wrong direction.  We'll see if I have to adjust plans.  Next week.

What's That In Volume

Thursday, October 13, 2022

It's conflicting.  On one hand it's darned annoying to have to spend so much time running to the bathroom.  On the other, I'm very glad to see that unnecessary water weight depart.  By my rough estimation I got rid of five POUNDS of it yesterday, which according to the internet is more than a half gallon in volume.  My goodness.  Appears to be slowing down today but we will see.  Eating crap sure packs on the liquid pounds.

Another weird wakeup, again between 3:00 and 4:00 and didn't get much sleep after that, though I again could not make myself get going.  Which is unfortunate, I think that's actually what I need to do, just suffer through a long day and go for the hard reset.  Certainly being slightly miserable just laying around for four or five hours isn't doing me any good.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.  A little hungry again as lunch approached.

Lunch:   Soup, grilled cheese

Standard.  And good as usual.

Snack:  Jack Links (I think) hot beef stick, Coke Zero Sugar

Was kinda hungry all afternoon, made a stop and grabbed a stick.  Should have read the label but didn't, no readers.  Hope it was OK.

Dinner:   Mixed nuts, 12 oz Coors Light, 3 eggs over medium, sausage, pepper jack, guacamole, Nicks mint chip

Same stuff, slightly different presentation.  Guac was well out of date but fine.  All good.  I have a little more pep this evening - made a huge batch of soup and did a load of laundry, either of which is more than I've managed any other evening this week.

Exercise:  Nope.  No excuse, just messed up.  Not too concerned about it since this is the first week back on track after some seriously effed up eating, but I do hope to get going.  Will be golfing this weekend weather permitting but that season is winding down fast.

Commencing Reset

Wednesday, October 12, 2022

Getting back on track is annoying.  You never feel great.  I can't call it the keto flu since I'm not keto and I don't feel that bad, I'm just off today.  Woke up at 3:15 and while I was more awake I had no pep.  Didn't get up until almost 8:00 (on a weekday, yikes) and accomplished maybe another 45 minutes of sleep.  Just could not get moving.  Sad.  Hopefully I'll have more pep tomorrow.

Otherwise, finally started moving some water last evening, let's hope that continues.  Pretty accurate prediction this morning too.  

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.  Was a little hungry as lunchtime approached but no worries.

Lunch:  Soup and grilled cheese


Standard.  No junk left on hand.

Dinner:  Mixed nuts, 12 oz Coors Light, scrambled eggs, sausage, pepperjack cheese, sour cream.  Nick's triple chocolate


All good again.  And yeah, lots of water leaving this afternoon and evening.

Exercise:  Nope.  At least it was pouring rain, hard, at all times I was awake.  Not going out there in that.

Leveled Off and Ready to Decline

Tuesday, October 11, 2022

Easing into it.  No suffering so far.  I slept much better last night, though I still woke up at 3:00 for no discernable reason.  Subsequent sleep was meh but at least, again, it was better than the night before.

Haven't let go of any of the many pounds of water that are hanging around waiting for a sign.  Soon, I hope.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Soup and grilled cheese, Cheeze Kurls


Ate the remaining Kurls so those are gone.  It's getting real.

Dinner:  3 scrambled eggs, ~ 1/3 lb hot sausage, shredded cheddar.  Mixed nuts, 12 oz All Day IPA, Nicks Mint Chip



All good if a bit much.  I actually wasn't going to buy more Nicks (it's not summer anymore) but I got such a great deal stacking two offers that I had to grab a couple.  Plus I found one in my freezer.

Exercise:  Nope.  Needed.

Let's Ease Into It

Monday, October 10, 2020

Back at it.  At least mostly.  Intentionally.  I have a couple things to clean up, but not too much.

And not a minute to soon.  Ate too much too late last night.  Woke up at 3:00 and never really got back to sleep.  Felt super sluggish and had a very hard time getting up when I finally did.  About as bad as I have felt in the morning in a while.  Wasn't a great morning at work either.  But I did appreciate that just coffee was fine.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Back in the saddle.

Lunch:  Leftover rotel max dip and donkey chips, some Nice magic mix trail mix


Clean up.  I'll finish the trail mix tonight probably.  

Dinner:  2x mexican 2x american tacos, 12 oz Coors Light, the rest of the trail mix, some Cheeze Kurls


I think the Cheeze Kurls are about the last junk I have on hand.  Still have some left, alas, and I'm too stupid to just throw them away.

Exercise:  Nope.  So fatigued this morning.  Didn't start feeling decent until the very end of the work day.
