Starch Filled Saturday

Saturday, September 23, 2023

And we are off.  Off to a good start.  Got to bed nice and early last night, was asleep by 9:30.  Woke up about 2:15, it took almost an hour, I think, to get back to sleep, but then slept until 5:45 so I figure I got eight hours.  It felt like reasonably good sleep.  No crazy dreams, nothing unusual.  Felt okay when I got up and was able to push myself out the door fairly quickly.

Lots to do today, we will see how the motivation holds up.

Breakfast:  Lazy bagels with very veggie cream cheese, coffee

Standard.  One that needs to be retired or at least greatly reduced.  If I treated weekend eating like weekday eating I'm sure I'd be better off.  Maybe once I eat up the yogurts I bought yesterday I'll switch to doing oatmeal on weekends too.

Lunch:  Taco salad, al pastor

Solid as usual.  Another thing I should move away from, however. 

Dinner:  Home cheese pizza, 12 oz Miller Lite.  Also had bread crusts and butter, a bowl of vanilla greek yogurt earlier and will have a bowl of chocolate Breyers ice cream shortly

I didn't like the look of my sack of pepperonis so I tossed them and just had a cheese pizza.  Turned out delightful again.  Really happy three weeks in a row.  Otherwise, a little grazing.  Sliced up the loaves of bread I baked earlier today and ate the odd crusts.  

Ate a little too much today, especially too much starch. 

Exercise:  Walk, 1 hour 10 minutes.  Pedometer app says just over 8,000 steps and 3.4 miles.  There is something off about that distance, but whatever.  I added another 8 or 10 blocks to my route from last Saturday.  I was somewhat fatigued 45 minutes in but didn't have any difficulty finishing.  Pace overall felt slow, more aches and pains than I had on Thursday and just didn't feel as free.  Anyway, glad to get it in, it was a beautiful morning.
