Day Eighteen

For the second day in a row and fourth time this month, a mini blip up on the scale.  Still calm about it - I did feel a little bloated this morning and if I had needed to make weight I could have.  I'm bemused that it happens as often as it does, especially given the massive amount of weight lost overall in a very short time.  If it continues, I'll adjust.

Once again a new low on the BP number this morning.  Really, really pleased by that.  Not that much above the cutoff for hypertension.  At least the old cutoff.  Not quite to the new one.  Still, being non-hypertensive, period, is within sight and would be a welcome relief.

Breakfast:  CF sausage links (0), V-8 (4), coffee (0)

I think that's the end of the V-8, which is fine.  It's not worth the carb cost, I'd rather have room to throw some veggies into dinner if I want.  Sausage remains elite.

Lunch:   Soup (10), pickle (1)

Standard and delightful as always.

Midafternoon I had a BK Minute maid light lemonade (3e).

Dinner:  Meijer pork cracklins (0), 12 oz Miller Lite (3), Home CF ovencheesebaconator (2) burger with guac (4) and mustard (0), roasted garlic kraut (1), SF lemon Jello (0)

I really like the CF baconator beef.  And when made as an ovenburger it's super easy and not at all messy.  Just takes a little time.  Which is why I ate a few too many pork cracklins.  All good though.

Exercise:  Nope.  Annoying.  I woke up at 3:30 and was wide awake.  Thought I might just go when the Y opened at 5:30, but then I got sleepy about 5:00 and caved.  I don't think I'll have an excuse tomorrow, so maybe, just maybe, I can get the ball rolling.  Getting the diet straight was first, but it's past time on the exercise.

Day totals:  $52.02 spent,  28 g carbs, success

Hit the grocery store after work.  Fifteen of that was beer and ten olive oil, I didn't buy that much else.  In pretty good shape on the food front, still quite a bit of quality CF meat on hand, lots of cheese.  Soups in the freezer and a few things of barbacoa.  All good.  Ribeyes were on sale but I passed, knowing that I have meals planned out for more than a week already.
