Flow And Go And Go

Thursday, April 2, 2026

Well, other than not exercising, which is an awful big ask for the first day of a major dietary overhaul, it was a successful day yesterday.  I didn't spend any money, ate what I had planned, resisted the temptations without too much difficulty and, as an added bonus, I even went to bed early.  Had to get up a couple times, of course, but I feel pretty confident that I actually got eight plus hours of sleep.  Hooray.

Lots of water departed.  Which was expected.  There is more to go.

Despite the extra sleep still off to a sluggish start.  I don't think it helped that it was pouring down rain.  Hearing that makes me want to sleep, not seize the day.

Breakfast:  2 slices Sargento natural american cheese, coffee

 

Last of the package, finally.

Lunch:  Taco meat, basmati bone broth rice, guacamole

 

Another day another slop bowl.

Dinner:  Soup, 12 oz Miller Lite, cheese popcorn

 

Again.   Got a little carried away with the popcorn.

 Exercise:  Nope.

Such A Fool

Wednesday, April 1, 2026

I am not fond of April Fool's Day.  Maybe it's because I'm not 12.  Or maybe because I'm a fool every day of the year.  Or maybe it's something else entirely.  Regardless, it's not a day I enjoy.

Today is also the first day of a new month and hopefully a fresh start.  March wasn't good.  I have been building toward a reset and I woke up this morning in the right frame of mind.   I spent a little time last night cleaning out the fridge and getting some things set.  Turns out I'm short in the on-hand protein department, at least for ground beef, but I think I can get through with other options.

So here is the deal.  It counts as a good day if I do the following:  Eat at home (*), spend no unnecessary money on food (or in general), don't have more than one notably carby meal, get at least 20 minutes of exercise (even low level counts).  The asterisk for eat at home means that it's okay if I eat out/elsewhere if invited, that will mostly be Saturday pre-golf, Tuesday night sandwiches post-golf and Sunday dinner.  Just no solo fast food, pizza, etc.

Let's see how many days I can succeed in April.

Breakfast:  3 slices Sargento natural american cheese.  Coffee

 

Almost finished with this package.  Which is a good thing.  I have considered eating less dairy.

Lunch:  Taco meat, bone broth basmati rice, guacamole

 

Basic slop bowl. 

Dinner:  Soup, 12 oz Yuengling, cheese popcorn

 

Decided that if I can make myself fix a batch that soup would be an idea regular meal. 

Exercise:  Nope.  Probably a little ambitious to think I'd do it on day one.
