More Understandable Bumps And The Things That Cause Them

Day Twenty Six

Okay then, this one I understand.  Small bump up on the scale, prompted no doubt by the lateness of eating and the excessiveness of peanuts.  I'm okay with it, not something that will be repeated soon.  As mentioned I'm going to bump up the amount I eat and be a little looser with the carbs, but nothing crazy.  And I'm also thinking very hard about whether it's time to go back to 2MAD or otherwise shrink my eating window.  Maybe I'll take an intermediate step and bring my breakfast to work and just eat it if/when I get hungry.  We'll see.  Exercise is also a wild card there.

Slept poorly.  Woke up at 2:30, was awake until about 6:00, then dozed off until about 8:00.  Which, predictably, screwed up my planned schedule for the morning.  But, oh well, life happens.  And since I have decided to make a trip to the farm that already kinda messes things up.

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

I bought a different yogurt for when this kind is gone -- it's the Meijer organic version.  For whatever reason, the new variety only has 5g carb for the same serving size.  Also 20 fewer calories, so it might be legit.  It'll be a bit before I get to it, but we'll see if it's notably different in any way.  Of all the carbs out there I might be the least worried about plain yogurt carbs.

Lunch:  3 egg (2) omelet with avocado (4) and veggie cream cheese (4), 4 strips CF hickory bacon (0)

Had a lot of avo since I bought a bagful last week on sale at Walmart.  Super delicious.  I think I might make this a regular feature, it's my old favorite lunch out except no sausage patties.

Dinner:  8 oz taco meat (1), mexicheese (3), jalapenos (1), trace sour cream (0).  12 oz Miller Lite (3).  Popcorn w butter (20)

Had the popcorn as a treat, since my original plan was to have potatoes with dinner.  Put me slightly over but not too bad.  And yes, I do love butter and salt and coconut oil.  Interestingly (to me), when I packaged up the leftover taco meat, my 1C containers would only hold maybe 5oz each, so I ended up with 2 x 4 oz (more or less).

Exercise:   Nope.  Annoyed by this.  At least it's Saturday and I will be very active.  Okay, somewhat active.

Day totals:   $ ~ 92.00  spent,  38 g carb, not quite a success but not terrible.

Went to the farm, bought a couple dozen eggs, four pounds of bacon, 3 packages of sausage patties, a pound of chorizo, a couple pounds of bulk italian sausage.  Should be good for a few weeks.
