It's been a busy time and I've been feeling most unmotivated.  Sluggish in the mornings.  I need to get in better shape, commit to losing a bunch of weight and sleep better.  Unfortunately some of the sleep stuff is largely out of my control, I may not truly sleep better until after I've made big strides with weight and walking.  Sigh.

Slept in very late today.  I have been having bad sinus issues, it was nice to wake up being able to breathe.  Just lazed about until 10:00 or so, then did very little.  Disappointing, as I have a tremendous amount to do but I have just not felt like doing a thing.

Just Not Understanding

Tuesday, January 19, 2016

Sigh.  I don't know why my brain doesn't get the message.  The one that says "I've had enough food, thanks, you don't need more".

No Holiday From Bad Eating

Monday, January 18, 2016

Time for another week.  While the federal and state workers are on vacation today, us self-employed grunts soldier on since if we don't work we don't get paid.  And sometimes when we do work we don't get paid.  But I digress.

Breakfast:  Coffee.  0 calories.

Lunch:  Can of Bush's Cocina Latina beans, 2 oz deli turkey, 2 slices of Healthy Life whole wheat bread, 2 slices Land O Lakes American Cheese.  780 calories.

Turkey is mostly hidden, bread and cheese not pictures

Dinner:  4 soft corn tacos mexican style.  1,200 calories (est).

Oh goodness.

These are almost always so good.  And $1.25 each.

Also:  Homemade pepperoni pizza.   Probably at least 1,000 calories.

Plating FAIL

It's been a while since I made one, and this is the first one in a very long time using 100% flour (instead of part parmesan cheese) for the crust.  Honestly I like the cheese blend better.

Exercise:  lol no.

Total Calories:  at least 2,980.  Sigh.

Flurryin'

Sunday, January 17, 2016

A little light snow going on outside, a whole lot of nothing going on inside.  I should go do some work but to be real honest doing nothing is so enjoyable I probably won't.

This will at least nominally be a 3 meal day.  Breakfast was a little late but not shaded close to lunch like yesterday was.  I'll probably have chips and salsa for lunch, then have a birthday party come dinner time.

Breakfast:  2 CF eggs fried in butter, 4 strips CF garlic pepper bacon, hash browns in butter.  Coffee.    685 calories.

Pure breakfast perfection.  100/100.

Added a few extra calories for going a bit heavier on the butter.  One thing I don't like about Kerrygold is the packaging, it's a challenge to measure out a tablespoon.  Hash browns were a mix, mostly the end of the Meijer plain with a little Alexia to top them off.  Oh, and I picked up a bottle of Valentina Extra Hot, early returns on that are very favorable.

Lunch:  Meijer yellow corn chips, 1 can Herdez salsa kicked up with some hot sauce.  635 calories.

Not pictured.  Tasty, the addition of hot sauce was a plus.

Dinner:  Sous vide chicken, spanish rice, black beans, a little cheese, chips, cake and ice cream.  1,600 calories (est.)

Birthday party meal.  I think I kept it reasonable, ate extra chicken, didn't go too crazy with the carby stuff.  Did have cake and ice cream.

Exercise:  Nope.  Bitterly cold and windy.

Total Calories:  2,920 (est).  A bit much, yeah.

Taking Aaron Rodgers' Advice

Saturday, January 16, 2016

Yup.  Relaxing.  To the max, so far anyway.  Slept in until the body decided it was time to get up.  Bummed around for a while, finally fixed a very late breakfast just before lunchtime.  Makes it very easy to have today be a two meal day!  I was going to go to the grocery store today, but I see that there is a pretty good sale next week, lots of $1 items and I can restock my pantry with a few things so I'm going to wait.

I can predict that it will be a very meat and potatoes kind of day, I want to use up the leftover chuck roast as much as possible...

Brunch:  2 eggs fried in a bit of butter, hash browns in butter, 2.5 oz of leftover chuck roast, a couple of packets of Taco Bell hot sauce.  Also, coffee.  630 calories.

Before it was all stirred up.  Yum.

Pot roast skillet!  Kind of, anyway.  Could have added a little onion maybe and it would have been great with a sour cream jalapeno sauce but it was delicious as is.  The hot sauce really added a nice little flavor boost.

Dinner:  Meijer yellow corn tortilla chips, 8 oz container Meijer guacamole.  1,240 calories.

Good tortilla chips have a lot of calories!

Also:  1 medium navel orange.  80 calories.

Impulse buy since they were 3 for $1, turns out to be a good calorie bargain too!

Exercise:  Nope.  Really need to do better.

Total Calories:  1,950.  Okay then.  Maybe I had more chips than I thought, if so more like 2,300 but I thought I ate half of the 12 oz bag.

Garbage In, Garbage OUT

Friday, January 15, 2016

Awful day for eating.  Have to admit I didn't care very much.

Breakfast:  Taco Bell sausage crunchwrap, coffee, 2 frosted coconut donuts.  1,130 calories (est).

Lunch:  Taco bell crunchwrap slider, chicken burrito, medium lemonade.  1,110 calories, lol.

Dinner:  Little Caesars pepperoni pizza with crazy sauce.  2,005 calories.

Exercise:  Nope.

Total Calories:  4,245 (est).  Yup, it was a bad day.

One Test Passed, The Rest FAILED

Thursday, January 14, 2015

Yup.  I resisted a donut at work this morning, but I cratered this evening.  Sigh.

Breakfast:  Coffee.  0 calories

Lunch:  Qdoba chicken bowl with chips, 1,500 calories

Added a little jalapeno on top.  Love jalapenos.

Why is it that lunch tastes better after a good workout?

Dinner:  McDonalds 2 cheeseburger meals with Hi C orange drink, 2 apple pies, LOTS of calories.  Like 2,580 calories

Also:  No bake cookies and a glass of whole milk.  At least 1,000 calories.

Exercise:  40 minutes arms and chest.  Went pretty hard, good workout.  Earned that lunch!

Total Calories:  I dunno, 5,000?   WAY over.

Don't Compare Menus On Punishment Of Pain

Wednesday, January 13, 2016

Well, that wasn't quite what I expected to eat today.  I was planning on something bean-centric for lunch at home and I threw a chuck roast in the crock pot for dinner.  Whoops.  I guess we'll try again tomorrow.

Breakfast:  Coffee.  0 calories.

Lunch:  2 eggs over medium, bacon, hash browns, raisin toast, coffee.  1,000 calories (est)

I had been a bit disenchanted lately with the diner, this
however was up to snuff.  Yum.

That's the problem with going out, you never know how many calories.  It was obviously more, since there were extra hash browns plus toast and they probably used a lot more butter/oil than I do.  So I think this is a reasonable guess but it is just that, a guess.

Dinner:  Fried lake perch with tartar sauce, french fries with ketchup, texas toast, salad with ranch, 16 oz Miller Lite.  1,500 calories.

Surreptitious salad picture.  Not smooth enough darn it.

Hey look it's a plate full of carbs!

Probably not the most diet-friendly choice, but quite tasty.  Calories are a reasonable estimate, I think.  I did plug everything into MFP and used restaurant numbers whenever possible.

Also:  Pot roast taco.  315 calories.

Gotta have GRAVY on there amirite?

Bonus shot.  Man I need to buy a taco holder!

I had to do something to test out the chuck roast, right?  Okay, not really.  But I did want to try this so I did.  It wasn't bad, will eat again.

Exercise:  Nope.  It's cold out there.

Total Calories:  2,815. Not good but not an epic fail.
