Never Knowing What To Expect

Sunday, August 31, 2025

Last day of the month and a much anticipated off day.  I play to divide it between house work and office time.  If I were guessing, probably more of the former than the latter, though I have plenty of both that need attention.

Was not sure what to expect this morning.  I was annoyed all evening yesterday - and this morning even - with myself for cracking.  I tried to keep the annoyance in check with a reminder that it was a heavy exercise day, but I was still irritated.  On the plus side, I was not the least bit hungry the rest of the day after having lunch about 2:30.  The two snack sticks were plenty and I was comfortable right through bedtime, which was late due to football watching.  On the other hand, I have just not noticed any positive change in the midsection bloat.  So I made my prediction and hopped on the scale.  Happy to be wrong, it was actually down a decent amount.  So we're ending August on a positive note.

Less than four weeks to vacation, I need to keep going.  Hoping to drop fifteen more before then, but that's probably optimistic.

Breakfast:  2 slices pepper jack, coffee

 

Though not particularly hungry, I applied the usual logic since I wanted coffee.

Lunch:  2 eggs sunny, 3 keto biscuits with CF chorizo gravy

 

Most LC biscuit recipes I looked at were almond flour-based, so I went with one of those.  Turned out pretty good.  No weird ingredients.  Between that and the flour and milk in the gravy I'm sure this is carbier than I should eat.  But tasty! 

Dinner:  Grilled tri tip steak, Jesse and Ben's tallow fries, green beans w butter, 12 oz Miller Lite

 

Sunday dinners. Easy and delicious tonight.

Exercise:  Nope, off day.  Active, but nothing formal.  I definitely expect the scale to be up tomorrow.
