Get Out Of This Month

Wednesday, February 19, 2025

February is going by quickly.  Which is fine with me, it really has no redeeming features.  Neither does March, for that matter.  Once we get to April there is at least a chance of some half-decent weather.  But for now I'm tired of winter.  Some sun would be nice.

A fairly successful day yesterday, though I did not sleep well last night.  It's going to be an interesting challenge getting enough protein - I am going to have to completely change my meat portion sizes if I'm going to avoid excessive patching with cheese and yogurt.  I'm not real interested in protein powder (though I may want to revisit using it in protein ice cream this summer), so that means more meat.  Despite feeling like I ate a lot yesterday the scale was down decently and I moved a little water.

Breakfast:  3 strips CF black pepper garlic bacon, coffee

 

 

Again.  And again only 15g.

Lunch:  Jimmy Johns italian night club, extra ham, add mustard pickles peppers delete mayo vinegar and oil, salt and vinegar chips

 

 

Work aargh.  Tweaked the sandwich to get to 65g

Dinner:  Taco bowl (4 oz taco meat, 1C spicy beans, 1C bone broth rice, cheese, sour cream, jalapenos, avocado), nonfat plain greek yogurt

 

Bowl was tasty, though in the future it needs MOAR beef to hit the target.  The yogurt was good for a boost at 18g per 3/4C.

Also 2 squares of the Ghirardelli 72% dark chocolate.  At least 1g of protein lol.

Exercise:  Sort of.  More moving stuff at the office.  I'm counting it, I was active enough.

Report card for today:  4/6

• 6k Steps:  Pass (barely, I do need to start carrying the small pedometer to capture all steps)
• 150g Protein:  Pass (I think I just cleared it) 
  
• Weights (trying for Tu-Th-Sat):  Pass (not a lifting day)
• Electrolytes:   Pass (not an electrolytes day)
• Sun:   Fail.  (There was none.  I did get outside for a little while though.)
• 8hrs Quality Sleep:  Fail (only got 6.5 hours at most, mediocre quality, woke up with headache.  Grade D+)
  

I may have to change how I grade the sun goal - hard to fail when it's not possible to pass.  I mean today was 100% cloudy, even leaving aside the fact that it was about 10F.
