More Excusy Yet

Tuesday, November 5, 2013

Very tired this morning.  Nobody's fault but my own.  I was ready to go to bed at 9:30.  Was not able to do so until 11:30.  I just don't do six hours or less any more, at least not without some fairly significant unhappiness.  Tired, a little achy, headachy.  Coffee is helping, but it is not substitute for a good night's sleep and a brisk walk.

Breakfast:  Coffee, 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese.  Again, no picture required.  It's cheese.  I eat too much cheese.

Lunch:  3 jumbo eggs scrambled with a bit of whole milk, cooked in butter/olive oil, a little onion, some mexican shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream.  3 thick slices bacon

No such thing as too much bacon.  This definitely wasn't.

Once again, yum.  I don't know why I do so well getting through the morning on just a little protein and fat, but I do.  Still nice to come home and whip up something like this.

Dinner:  2 leftover CF hot italian sausage links cooked in a can of rotel sauce (of which I had a spoonful or two), 2 yukon gold potatoes mashed with butter, milk, sour cream.

Potatoes junkie? Afraid so.

I shouldn't eat potatoes.  Bad starch.  But they are delicious.  So I had some.  Tried yukon golds, quite good.  I probably like plain old russets the best though.

Exercise:  None.  As mentioned, I was very late getting up and very sluggish when I did.  I didn't quite break through to getting out the door.  Unacceptable.  I moved around a bit more than usual otherwise today but not enough to actually call it exercise.

Partly Excusy

Monday, November 4, 2013

Made it through the weekend without catastrophe, that's a very good thing.  I also got quite a bit of stuff done around the house.  A good thing.  I didn't go into the office, which is not a good thing, but on balance it was one of the better weekends I've had in a while.  Outside of some personal news that is, but that's not relevant to this space.

Anyway, game plan for today is to keep on truckin'.

Breakfast:  Coffee,  ~ 2 oz dill jack cheese.  Using it up.  No picture.

Lunch:  2 eggs fried in bit of butter and olive oil.  A bit of sour cream.  3 thick strips of bacon

Best bacon ever?  Could be!

New variety of bacon to me.  YUM.

Dinner:  2 CF hot italian sausage links, spicy beans (drained), a bit of sour cream and a little sargento mexican blend cheese

Zesty!  Spicy!  Delicious.

The hot italian links were a new one to me and I finally prepared them right.  Other sausages I have grilled and it just dries them out.  I simmered these in water with a bit of olive oil, the water steamed off and the sausages grilled for a bit.  Turned out fantastic.  Also tried a twist on the beans, good result.

Exercise:  Short walk, according to the pedometer 0.75 mile in 16 minutes.  Felt terrible for much of it - stiff, achy, sore, really really fat.  Finally loosened up some the last couple blocks.  Why so short?  Two reasons, which are really just excuses:  I got a late start.  Got up with the alarm but dozed on the couch for a while.  I hate walking when there is lots of traffic.  Give me peace and quiet.  Also, it was windy.  I was prepared for cold, not so much for wind.  As soon as I finish this I am going to fish out the rest of my cold weather walking gear so I don't have that excuse going forward.

Made It To A Day Two For Once

Sunday, November 3, 2013

I don't know why this is so hard.  I survived the temptation of half price halloween candy at the grocery store yesterday.  I managed to avoid the siren call of dessert tonight.  Several times today I thought about saying eff it and binging.  But I made it.

Breakfast:  Corn bread scramble with eggs, bacon, tomato, cheese, avocado; diced potatoes, pico de gallo.  Coffee.

So very, very, very, very good.  

This is absolutely my favorite meal right now.  So delicious.  I would eat this for breakfast every day if I could.

Lunch:  Spicy beans and turkey;  banana

Not pictured:  Banana.  I mean, it's a banana, right?

Dinner:  Spaghetti with meat, salad with a bit of italian dressing, parmesan cheese, 2.5 slices garlic bread

Above average stealthiness, below average photo!

I don't have control over Sunday night menus.  I either need to resign myself to eating crap or else start bringing my own food.

Exercise:  Actually got up and went for a walk.  Pedometer said 1.1 miles in 22 minutes, so a bit less than that distance wise.  Also played 13 holes of golf with cart, probably good for another 2.5 to 3 miles.  Feeling it tonight.

Serious Fat

Saturday, November 2, 2013

I have been unable to maintain any kind of discipline.  The results have been horrific.  I will weigh in tomorrow morning for the bad news, but I know that I have gained weight at an alarming rate.  My midsection is much bigger around than it was six months ago, or even in July.  NEED to do something about it.  So:  Try again.

Simple rules:  No sugar.  No fast food.  No pizza.  Minimize starch.  Eat real food.  Eat at home, or when eating out choose breakfast foods, salads, etc.  This isn't rocket science.

Breakfast:  All meat omelette, 2 slices sourdough toast with butter, coffee

I could have done without the toast.  And I think I'm going to switch to a different omelette.  On the bright side, I didn't eat it all ... because I was full.

Lunch:  Spicy beans with turkey.  I also had more coffee during the morning.

Not the best batch of beans ever - more watery than gravy-y

This has become a standby.  It is so easy to jar pints of beans and stick them in the freezer.  What I really hope to do is to do a batch of beans or soup or chili each week and stock the freezer - I should use them up at about that pace so it should work out nicely.   I can skip a week from time to time to reduce any excess inventory.  And I can let the stuff cook while I'm doing weekly cleaning stuff or watching football.

Dinner:  ~ 8 oz grass fed NY Strip steak, mashed potatoes with milk, butter and sour cream, green beans

Yumm-O !

 The quality of meat makes such a difference.  Even though the steak was undercooked just a bit (on the border between blue rare and rare instead of rare/medium rare as I prefer it) it was very good.  I got a little carried away with the potatoes - I had 3 small russets left from a couple weeks ago so I used them up, it was more than enough for 2 servings.  I am ... full!

Snacks:  ~ 2 oz dill jack cheese

Exercise:  I actually woke up early enough to walk this morning.  I didn't and I'm slightly ashamed by that.  In fairness it was cold and raining and I had not organized my rain gear or cold weather gear.  So I'm doing that now in order to not have that excuse tomorrow.  I am getting in some movement cleaning the house and I'll walk around the grocery store later.

The Absolute Worstest

Sunday, October 6, 2013

Another Day Zero

Worst fail by me anyway.  Been doing absolutely nothing, gorging and gaining weight at a record pace.  Hell, I probably had 10,000 calories yesterday.  Time to not only stop that, but to be accountable to myself.  It's not even any FUN to do that - it's a sickness.

Anyway, I should start right this minute, but I'm not going to.  It will be tonight.  I have some cooking to do today before I'm ready to start again.  One of the things I think I should be doing is updating in the morning with planned menu for the day so I can see how well I stick to it.  Maybe that will help.

Another change I made is to put grocery money for the month in a separate account.  I find it easier to track using a debit card and a slip of paper than to use cash, so I'm giving it a go this way.  Of course since I've been cramming massive quantifies of food in I've already burned through a big chunk of this month's money, so I'm going to have to tighten up a bit.

Anyway, let's do this again.

Breakfast:  Cornbread scramble (with bacon, tomato, avocado, cheese, pico, sour cream), diced redskin potatoes, coffee, 2 frosted cake donuts

I think the cornbread scramble on Sundays will continue to be my weekly splurge (sans donuts).  It is so freaking good.

Lunch:

Snacks:

Dinner:

Exercise:  ~ 1 mile walking, just under 20 minutes.  Wow did this feel *awful*.  Still bloated from last night, and I have been doing NOTHING.  I would have gone further, but it started raining (whine, whine) and I hadn't dressed for it.  Stupid radar.  Anyway:  I did SOMETHING!  I'll probably run around the house cleaning some so I'll get in more activity than usual, but ... I did something.  It's a start.  It's a shame I didn't get rolling sooner, because I'd love to do a turkey trot this year.  Maybe I can get in better shape in time to do something around Christmas.  We'll see.

Back To Something

Tuesday, September 3, 2013
Reboot Day 1

Although it doesn't really impact me, the first day of school for the local kids.  The end of summer.  And a convenient time to really kick it into gear.  I feel pretty decent this morning - got in six hours of sleep (the drama kept me up a bit late but it was a very minor dose), a short walk and I'm about ready to get out the door to tackle the workday.  I'm hoping for a good one since I took the weekend off.

I had a hard time getting a reading on the scale this morning.  Hopeful that I will shed some water weight and get off to a strong start as a result.  I have goals.

Let's do this.

Breakfast:  Leftover egg casserole, coffee

Lunch:

Dinner:

Exercise:  Short morning walk, about a mile, 20 minutes.

Corn-centric and Reboot Fifty

Monday, September 2, 2013
Reboot Day Zero

Happy Labor Day.  After one of the worst weeks of my life, it really is time to get back on track.  When I say worst that's for non-food reasons, though the eating was fairly excessive too.  The good news, such as it is, is that the real life drama is slowly working itself out.  Not the way that I would like, mind you, but as the cliche goes, you can't always get what you want.

But I can get what I want when it comes to physical health, because that's all up to me.  I choose what I put in my mouth.  I choose what kind of exercise I get.  Oh, sure I can't control whether I get some incurable disease, but the basics are within my grasp.  It's again time to take steps to seize the initiative and fix things once and for all.

Today is involving cleaning up.  Getting rid of some stuff.  Due to that and because it's a holiday, there will be more food and less exercisin'.  I should start right this moment.  That would be the way to do it.  Instead, I am going to just try to be prepared to kill it starting in the morning.

Breakfast:  Corn bread scramble with eggs, bacon, cheese, tomato, avocado and pico de gallo, diced potatoes, coffee, 2 chocolate frosted donuts

Lunch:  Spicy beans with a hunk of cornbread.  I'm definitely on a cornbread kick today!

This might be the best batch of spicy beans I've ever made

Snacks:  A few chips and a little dip, some chips n salsa

Dinner:  Egg casserole (CF eggs, milk, Meijer sausage - didn't have any CF - seasoning, shredded sharp cheddar).  Another piece of cornbread with a generous whack of butter (not pictured).  Two oatcakes.

I'll be eating the egg dish for a few days...

Yeah, more cornbread.  I was going to have half a grapefruit too but decided to save it for tomorrow.

Dessert:  Haagen Dazs chocolate peanut butter ice cream.  Okay, done with that.

Exercise:  Nothing formal, just cleaning the house.  So:  None.  At least I moved around a bunch.

I Lack Discipline

Wednesday, August 28, 2013

As seems to be the case lately, I failed.  Try again.

Breakfast:  Bowl of spicy beans with lots of deli turkey, coffee

Lunch:  All meat omelet, 2 slices sourdough toast with butter, coffee

Dinner:  More than 1/2 of a Little Caesars deep dish crappy pizza

Dessert:  Culver's concrete mixer with PB cups

Exercise:  None.  Up late again for personal reasons.  By next week likely to be done.

Cratered late in the day.  I did get some new technology tonight that will help me be more faithful in my efforts to track what I do and I think it will help with accountability.  Kinda down in personal life, but I'll bounce back.

Trying to Build

Tuesday, August 27, 2013

Let's see if I can do well 2 days in a row.  Not off to a good start - stayed up too late and between that and the fact that it's raining I did not get out for a walk.

Breakfast:  Leftover grassfed chuck roast with vegetables

Cooked this up last night, ended up with four hearty servings from 1 75 lb roast.

Lunch:  All meat omelet, 2 slices dark rye toast with butter, coffee

Dinner:  Oatcakes (way too many!), 5 slices CF garlic pepper bacon, a tomato, 1/2 grapefruit

Snack:  A small bowl of spicy pinto beans.  (Fresh batch.  Yum!)

Exercise:  None.  Stayed up too late for personal reasons.  It really looks like the personal reasons to stay up late are going away though, so I should soon be back on track.

Call it semi-fail.

Gersh

Monday, August 26, 2013

So much fail, so little time to report it.  Feeling motivated though.

Breakfast:  Small bowl of leftover ham and beans, 2 slices sharp cheddar

Lunch:  All meat omelet with onion, 2 slices sourdough toast with butter

Dinner:  Grassfed NY strip steak, sliced tomato, gluten free bread with italian cheese

Exercise:  Short walk,  less than1.5 miles, 30 minutes.

At least I felt rested when I got up and even though the walk was achy when I got started it ended up being fine.  I do not like humidity but it may well have helped a bit.

A decent if not stellar day, a step in the right direction after weeks and months of FAIL.

Sometimes Not Enough

Wednesday, July 31, 2013

Apparently I was tired last night.  I fell asleep on the couch, barely mustered the energy when I woke to move to bed and then I could not get up this morning.  No exercise, late for work.  Yuck.  At least I managed to deal with real breakfast stuff instead of surrendering to the inclination for a McBreakfast.

I am hoping to redeem myself by not blowing up in the evening - not planning on working, don't have social functions, I can just go home.  If the weather cooperates I might even do some yard work and call it exercise.  We shall see.

Breakfast:  Soup, coffee

Lunch:

Dinner:

Exercise:  None in the morning, boo.

Not So Easy

Not a fan of the fail.  Back on horse.  Hoping dinner buffet will be edible, fearing lasagna.

 

Breakfast:  soup, coffee

 

Lunch:  big bowl of spicy beans, 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese

 

Hungry.  Too much cheese tho.

 

Dinner:  2 Taco Bell shredded chicken burritos, Italian sub, garlic cheese bread w/ pizza sauce and 2 Miller Lites.

 

Golf league night.  FAIL.  Evenings, they are a problem.

 

Exercise:  same 1.5 mile walk as yesterday.  Also 9 holes with cart.

 

Using blogger app.  Not loving it.  Had to clean up later in web interface.

rebound

Monday, July 29, 2013

Hey.  It has been a while.  So funny how you can fall out of a daily habit so quickly and how hard it can be to get back to that place.  The short version is that my life changed.  I lost the spots in my routine where I attended to this space and some other stuff - the time just vanished.

It looks like it may well be back.  And that is a sad thing in a lot of ways.  But not all bad.  I definitely lost focus over the last five months.  No reason to get into it, but it happened.  But with the extra time and some extra drive I just might be able to really get back at it this time.

So: 

Quick goal time.  I'll get more into it in a couple days, but here's what I hope to accomplish.  5 months.  75 pounds.  Ambitious, I know, but I'm pretty sure the first 20 will fall right off.  Gained some, you know.  Been bad.

Let's do this.

Breakfast:  Bowl of soup, coffee.

This is my usual homemade vegetable beef soup, though I 'beefed' it up by using 2 lb of ground beef instead of 1 in this batch.  I'm having smaller servings - I bought some pint mason jars and am filling those instead of filling quarter jars 3/4 full or so.  It's not a huge difference, but it is definitely less.

Lunch:  2 jumbo CF eggs cooked in a bit of Kerrygold butter, bowl of spicy beans.

Good stuff.  I cooked up my usual standbys for the freezer this weekend.  Not the best batch ever - a bit too much water.  Still yum.

Dinner:  little Caesars deep dish pepperoni pizza, Ben n Jerry's choc brownie ice cream

Epic fail!

Exercise:  Sluggish start.  Couldn't find my pedometer but pretty sure it was about 1.5 mile walk since it took 35 minutes.  Very creaky to start - I have done nothing the last ten days after coming back from a vacation where I walked 10-15 miles a day.  I'm afraid dietary issues are also contributing inflammation.  Hope to feel better quickly as I get back into the routine.

Sinking In

Monday, June 24, 2013

Trying again to reboot and build a little momentum.  Leaving on vacation in less than two weeks and I would really like to be laser focused between now and then.  It probably won't work out that way, but it would be nice.  I am super busy today, so it will be a challenge.  But I feel decent so let's see how it goes.

Breakfast:  Coffee, yogurt

Lunch:

Dinner:

Exercise:  Managed to get up early enough - nothing like when I was really in a groove, but ... - to get in a short walk.  Pedometer said 1.5 miles in 30 minutes, as usual it was probably a bit less than that.  Slow.  My legs are not feeling good and some ankle trouble has resurfaced.

June Is For Diligence

Saturday, June 1, 2013

... or something.  I need to reboot.  Desperately.  I am tired.  Fat.  Can feel the gains I've made slipping away.  Writing this at night after another day of bad eating.

Breakfast:  3 egg omelet w/ bacon, cream cheese and avocado, 2 slices sourdough toast w butter, coffee

Snack:  Package of peanut butter crackers, coffee

Lunch:  Corned beef reuben with fries, 12 oz Miller Lite

Snack:  Chips and onion dip

Dinner:  Taco Bell, chicken burritos and beefy crunch burritos

Exercise:  18 holes with cart

Otherwise felt meh.  Way, way behind on sleep.  May stress level was off the charts.  It has to get better.

Need More Synonyms For FAIL

Tuesday, May 21, 2013

About the only good thing I can say about the last 24 hours is hey, I had an okay breakfast yesterday.

Just getting killed by work.  Went home at about 11 last night.  So much to do and it's causing me to overeat and eat drive thru crap that doesn't even sound good.

Sigh.

Breakfast:  Mcdonald's bacon egg cheese biscuit, hash browns, 2 sausage burritos, coffee

Lunch:

Dinner:

Exercise:

Reboot One Hundred

Monday, May 20, 2013

Trying again.  I really need to embrace my inner Yoda ("there is no try, only do or not do" or something like that).  Or my inner Nike ("just do it").  It makes me laugh to try those things.

The last week or so has been brutal on several fronts.  One, allergies.  I was so miserable I broke down and bought benadryl.  I hate taking meds.  But when I can't sleep or function that counts as necessity.  Two, eating and exercise.  The binging and slacking continued.  Three, work.  OMFG, this is horrid.

This morning, though I was very, very sluggish getting going, it's going okay so far.  It's a couple hours into the day and I'm just getting cranked up at work, but at least it's going.  And I'm optimistic that I'll get some things done for once.

Edit:  More super FAIL.

Breakfast:  Yogurt, coffee

Lunch:  Jimmy John's vito sub, salt & vinegar chips

Dinner:  Double cheeseburgers, fries

Snack:  2 Taco Bell chicken burritos, 1 black bean burrito

Exercise:  None

Anticipating the Fail

Tuesday, May, 14, 2013

Golf season is underway, and on Tuesdays that means a few beers and trying to extract value out of a buffet, which is a polite way of saying that I'll eat too much.

Yesterday got off to a promising start but I really need to not wait until 4:00 to eat lunch.  I was too hungry and ended up eating way, way too much.

Breakfast:  Yogurt, coffee

Lunch:

Dinner:

Monday Morning Coming Up

Monday, May 13, 2013

We'll see if I can successfully get refocused, starting right now.  Off to an okay start this morning, though instead of being awake and going for a walk I found a chair and snoozed.  Otherwise feeling okay.  I have been so very far off the last couple of months.  My conditioning hasn't fallen off a cliff - I have walked 18 holes a couple of times - but it's definitely diminished.  I have gained some weight and it's quite noticeable around the middle.  So let's get back on track.

Spring and summer are always challenging.  Beer.  BBQs.  Golf.  Other temptations.  We'll see how it goes.

Edit:  It went poorly.  Actually, it went swimmingly until 4:00, when I had lunch.  And it was downhill from there.

Breakfast:  Yogurt, coffee

Lunch:  12" Subway ham and pepperjack on italian herb, lots of Fritos

Dinner:  Double cheeseburger and fries

Exercise:  None.  Was supposed to go for a walk in the evening, walking buddy didn't make it so I didn't go.

FAIL.

A Placeholder

Intervening days.

Probably not going to add much detail here.  Fat and (mostly) happy.  Unfocused.  Awful, awful eating.

One Tiny Step

Monday, April 22, 2013 through Wednesday, April 24, 2013

Still failing, except today got off to a good start.  Monday and Tuesday were more fail, no exercise and all McFood and/or pizza plus chips or something.

Wednesday:

Breakfast:  Yogurt, coffee

Lunch:  2 Spicy McChickens, large fries  (oops)

Dinner:

Exercise:  Hey, a walk!  It really felt foreign it has been sooooo long.  Short loop, pedometer said 2.33 miles in 45 minutes.  Knees cranky, felt fat (am fat), ruled out jogging quickly.

Still Failing To Relaunch

Wednesday, April 17 - Sunday, April 21, 2013

Still failing.  Really rough day on Friday, carried over into the weekend.

Still eating like crap and not exercising.  Haven't weighed.  It will be ugly.

Let's Try This Again

Tuesday, April 16, 2013

Okay.  As mentioned in prior post, I'm writing this mid-day even before I get back on the horse.  Oh, logically I should start right this second, but instead I'm going to be realistic.  Lunch will be rushed again -- I'm severely out of whack that part of the day -- and I didn't have energy to exercise this morning.

So instead I am going to hope to get started with some modest accomplishments this evening - a sound dinner, probably some beans and turkey or bacon and eggs, then clean up and get set up for tomorrow.  Set out clothes.  I know lunch tomorrow will be more normal, so I have hopes for an entire day of being good to get the ball rolling.

Time to amp up the want and to turn it into action.

Breakfast:  McDonalds bacon egg & cheese biscuit, 2 sausage burritos, coffee

Lunch:  I forget, but it was fast

Dinner:  Forget, but it was undoubtedly pizza

Exercise:  None.

Not Just Fall Off

Tuesday, April 9, 2013 through Monday, April 15, 2013

This might have been the single worst week of my life in terms of diet and exercise.  No exercise, which is not unusual.  Non-stop binge eating.  Working until midnight every night.  No sleep.  Gained a significant amount of weight though I don't know exactly how much b/c I haven't weighed.

I feel like crap and deservedly so.  Time to regain control.  As I write this (on Tuesday morning), I had hoped to get rebooted first thing.  Instead I was up well past midnight working last night and I just cannot get up before dawn to exercise under those circumstances.  So I had a crap breakfast and I'm hoping to get started with a good meal this evening.

Did not track specifics but pretty much every day began with a mcbreakfast, some kind of rushed fast food lunch, pizza for dinner, chips and dip when snacking and lots of them.  The only positive is no sugar.

Icking

Monday, April 8, 2013

Title was going to involve 'ticking' but this might actually work better.

Breakfast:  Yogurt

Lunch:  Forgot what it was specifically, see next post

Dinner:  Forgot what it was specifically, see next post

Exercise:  None.  Schedule totally out of wack, major sleep deficit, endless stress.  This week is going to suck even though I really really do want to get on track.

Friday, A Friday

Friday, March 29, 2013

I actually got up early, was organized and plowed through a bunch of stuff.  A day that turned out better than expected.  Of course I was up until 2:00 and left at 6:00, but whatever.

Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner:  Again, don't really remember.  I think it was same deal, a couple of sausage burritos and coffee for breakfast, taco bell chicken burritos for lunch and a pizza for dinner, chips and onion dip for a snack.

Exercise:  I believe that I got in an abbreviated walk.

Short On Time, Long On FAIL

Thursday, March 28, 2013

Yergh.  Never going to be ready to leave on vacation on Saturday.

Breakfast:  McD bacon egg and cheese biscuit, 2 sausage burritos, coffee

Lunch /Dinner / Snack:  To be honest, I don't even remember.  I think it was a couple spicy McChickens for lunch, pizza for dinner and chips and onion dip for a snack.  This is why I need to do this daily, not a week later.

Exercise:  At least I made myself get out of bed (on < 4 hours as usual) and get in an abbreviated walk before going back to work.  1.5 miles in 29 minutes according to the pedometer ... I really should double check my stride length.

Deserves Explanation, Gets None
