Weekend Works

Saturday, January 18, 2025

It's the weekend!  Let's work!

Said nobody ever.  But it's happening.  And that's okay.  It's supposed to be a brutally cold, snowy weekend and so I'll be indoors doing something.  It would be a good thing to get more caught up.

Anyway, I crashed a little earlier than usual, going to bed around 10:30 and getting to sleep about 11:00.  Of course being unable to sleep for too long I woke up at 5:00 and was too awake to go back to sleep.  So i'm giving it a solid B -- sleep was fine, I was just out, not much dreaming.  Six hours is about the minimum effective amount, assuming it's decent quality, and it was.  Sinuses were calmed by a vapostick shot just before bed and were fine when I woke, though they weren't happy once I set about being up.  Weight was up, another sign that I need to axe the keto bowls and cut the carbs.  It's always disappointing when you've resisted plenty of temptations and cleared out a bunch of waste and the scale is still unkind.  At least when you're this fat.

Also despite what I just said, I decided that I was nervous having no flour on hand for anything at all, so I decided to pick up some 00 Italian flour (instead of the french flour I've been ordering).  They don't carry any at Meijer or Walmart, just the domestic King Arthur version.  Checked a local grocery store I remembered carrying some and not only did they, they had multiple brands!  I bought Anna since I had checked the label out beforehand (too small to read in store), but I suspect Caputo still meets my criteria.  Now if I can just not use much of it!

Note to self:  Some cuts to make - start w/ tacos 2x->1x, don't buy more beer, axe LB, make allu choc syrup.  Eat soup or eggs bowls or oven burgers or something 1x.  Clean breakfasts.

Breakfast:  Lazy bagels w chive and onion cream cheese, coffee

 Not quite out of flour but getting close.

Lunch:  Home breakfast tacos with CF chorizo, cheddar, sour cream. 2 strips CF bacon

Tasty.  Cleaned up the bacon.  So good that psychologically I wanted to keep eating.  Didn't eat more and now a few minutes later I am pleasantly sated.  But I still have that urge.  Which is why I'm fat.

Dinner:  Spaghetti, 12 oz All Day IPA

Always good.

Exercise: Yes, although not exactly as planned.  I went to work about 1:00 planning to leave and go to the Y about 3:00, instead I spent six hours doing active stuff, moving books and furniture, and zero time working.  Not a super high intensity workout, but it was long enough and active enough that yes it counts.  Probably going to do something similar tomorrow.
