Day Nineteen

TGIS.  Pretty relaxed so far.  Slept in a little later than planned, but the extra rest felt good.  Having a cup of coffee before getting going full bore.

Another mixed morning.  Woke up before 5:00, but dozed off in the recliner about a half hour later.  Slept pretty hard, surprisingly, including a wild, vivid dream.  I forced myself awake when that reached a point of potential disaster.  It was almost 8:00 by that point.  Decided not to force myself out the door, today is a day the public is invited to the Y and it'll be a zoo.  Lame excuse, but factual.  I have lots to do around the house, I'll be sufficiently active.

Not much love on the scale.  Reversed yesterday's blip, but that's all.  I seem to be plateaued at the moment, which is understandable if a bit disappointing.  Will have to make some changes to shake things loose.  Plus, you know, exercise you dumbass.  I did get another very pleasing BP reading, so there's that.  I think that's sticking (in a good way) in a new lower range.  Now to lower it further with more weight loss and better conditioning.

Breakfast:   Meijer plain greek yogurt (7),   Meijer wild blueberries (3),  coffee (0)

Pretty standard stuff.  I will probably eat more yogurt going forward, assuming that (a) I can find it, it is usually out of stock and often I'm too cheap to buy Fage, and (b) I can be disciplined on the other stray carbs.  I think I can and it won't be too hard.  Just have to limit the extraneous stuff.  Toppings etc.

Lunch:  3 CF eggs (2) with CF chorizo (0), mexicheese (2) and sour cream (1).  Avocado (2).

Extremely tasty.  Devoured.  Will run it back tomorrow.  Almost out of CF eggs, had to buy a dozen conventionals at the store to get through the upcoming week.  It'll probably be a while before I get back out to the farm.

Snack:  Meijer pork cracklins (0).  Cleanup.  Also had a bottle of Topo Chico, love beverages in glass.

Dinner:   Leftover CF ovenbaconatorcheeseburger (2) with mustard (0) and jalapenos (2).  12 oz Miller Lite (3), iceberg salad with EVOO/vinegar and parmesan (2), SF lemon Jello (0)

Again pretty good.  Took another run at salad dressing, it's fine but still missing something to make it elite.

Exercise:  Nope.  As above.  Active day, but nothing dedicated.  I did buy some new wireless sport earbuds, going to give them a try.

Day totals:  $9.99 spent,  26 g carbs, success

I bought a tub of frozen italian beef on sale at Menards.  I'm not crazy about the ingredient list, but I'm going to give it a try anyway.
