Whooshhhh

Friday, August 17, 2018

It's always entertaining the week you sharply reduce your carb intake to see just how much extra liquid the body retains when you eat like crap.  It's somewhat less entertaining to have to get up in the middle of the night, but that's a price I'm willing to pay.

Spent an hour or so last evening reading back through some of the more successful periods (and skimming over those that were not so much) in the history of this blog.  It was enjoyable to flash back to a time where I weighed less, walked regularly and was pretty optimistic.  Not sure it's related but afterward I even had a burst of energy and did some cleaning and dishes.  Good times.

Breakfast:  2 oz CF cajun beef jerky, coffee

I must have had less than half the package yesterday because this sure seemed like a lot.  It also wasn't as enjoyable as usual.  I think I'm going to have to work in some of the other standbys, salami, cheese, yogurt, that sort of thing.

Lunch:  8 oz CF spicy beef bacon

About as easy at it gets.

Dinner:  Spicy beans with some Meijer shredded taco cheese

A picture!  A crappy picture, but a picture!
After reading the archives I really wanted some spicy beans.  Thankfully I had one in the freezer that I could pull out for tonight.  Threw some cheese on there to try and bump the fat content.

We'll see how the body reacts to this after three days of mostly meat.

Edit:  Add a drink.  A splash (certainly no more than a shot) of Templeton rye whiskey on ice, ultimately consumed with a can of Ice Mountain orange sparkling water.  Not bad at all and produced a nice half hour glow.

Exercise:  Nope, not yet.

Fat-ee-gueh

Thursday, August 16, 2018

Pretty solid start I guess.  I suspect that I'm not eating enough, actually.  I'll have to give some thought as to what else to eat.   Tired this evening, it was like I switched off.  We'll see if dinner perks me up.  May end up having a drink and going to bed early.  I had plans to make some soup tonight but I think it's going to wait until tomorrow.

Breakfast:  2 oz CF cajun jerky, coffee

Lunch:  8 oz CF spicy beef bacon

At least I got one package of the good stuff my last trip to the farm.  I definitely like this kind better than the black pepper and garlic variety.

Dinner:  Culver's bacon double deluxe plus mustard (no bun)

Since I ate this at home I could eat the toppings without worrying about making a mess.

Also:  ~ 2 oz Meijer double cheddar cheese

Still hungry, so I ate this.  I would have had an avocado, but the ones I bought yesterday aren't properly ripe yet.  Pretty sated now.

Exercise:  Nope, not yet.

I Guess It Has To Be Today

Wednesday, August 15, 2018

I have been wondering of late whether I'm in the end stages.  I don't know that I've ever really felt that way before, outside of having a blood clot.  I've just been moving slower and slower, tired all the time, fat and in pain.  Dramatic worsening of the plantar fascitiis has not helped.  At least I have had some relief from that the past two weeks due to acquisition of some compression foot sleeves.  I checked my weight this morning and I don't think I can trust my scale, while the number is high it was actually five pounds lower than the last time I weighed a couple weeks ago.

So anyway, I'm at a point where I have to do something.  While I dread going to work and there isn't a lot of joy right now I'm not ready to give up.  There are still things I want to do.  So here we go again.

Breakfast:  4 strips CF beef bacon, coffee

Very late breakfast as I'm taking a few hours off this morning.  This is a bit less than half of a one pound package and it's black pepper/garlic instead of the hot and spicy variety I like so much.

Lunch:  ~ 2 oz CF cajun beef jerky

Ate earlier than anticipated but wasn't hungry all afternoon which is good.

Dinner:  Wendy's double with cheese, no ketchup.  Didn't eat the bun, also didn't eat most of the toppings.

That's how it goes, eating around the bun means you don't eat much except the meat and cheese.

I did manage to make it to the store and buy a few things, so I'll be able to do a little cooking soon.

Exercise:  Not today.

Serial Fail Of The Noxious Kind

Monday, June 25, 2018

Mondays.  Man.

Breakfast:  2 oz CF cajun jerky, coffee

I think if I can get serious here I may need to go to a full 4 oz.

Lunch:  Corned beef hash, 2 eggs over easy, raisin toast, coffee

Portions were much more reasonable than usual today.  It was very good.

Exercise:  Nope, going to do stuff around the unit tonight though.

One Meal Difference

Sunday, June 24, 2018

I don't want to read too much into it, but having a simple meal of just protein and fat (okay, okay, plus a beer later) felt good.  I felt sated and even though I didn't do much I felt normal plus and not sluggish.  We'll see how that goes if I can repeat it regularly.

As an added bonus, I was able to get back to sleep this morning and get some additional quality - or close enough to it - sleep.  Woke up feeling notably less fatigued.  Even my cranky feet were pleased.  I threw a pair of insoles in the house shoes and I'm liking them so far.

Breakfast:  2 eggs over medium in butter, 5 strips thick cut Wright applewood bacon, Alexia hash browns in butter, coffee

Got a little carried away with the hash browns, hard to tell how many I had since most of it was a single frozen meganugget. 

Lunch:  None

Dinner:  A few triscuits with bar cheez, NY strip steak, potatoes, fresh green beans with a pat of butter, 12 oz Miller Lite, Oreos and ice cream

Also:  3 McD cheeseburgers, Dr. Pepper

Exercise:  18 holes with cart

Day One No Donut No Cry

Saturday, June 23, 2018

Well, two out of three.  A small step in the right direction.  I'm going to have to tell people that I'm being better about what I eat.

Breakfast:  2 hot shots, a little coffee

Hot shots are smoked sausage sticks from a local butcher shop.  They sell a lot of them, and not just to me.

Lunch:  Ham and cheese wrap, fries w ketchup, 16 oz Miller Lite, TB chicken burrito, beefy frito burrito, spicy potato soft taco, Dr. Pepper

Yeah, fail here.  Big time.

Dinner:  CF spicy hot beef bacon.

A tasty dinner.  Probably not what most people would consider a meal, but given that it's beef "bacon" it's really not notably different than a burger patty.  I might have a Founders Solid Gold later since I still have at least a dozen cans left.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart

Ouch.  Feet started hurting pretty bad on the 16th hole.  I wish this pair of shoes was just a bit bigger.  I'll be wearing a different pair tomorrow.  The feet are still barking and it's limited how much I've accomplished this evening.  Hopefully losing some weight will help in the future.

Donuts Tomorrow Maybe?

Thursday, May 31, 2018

Felt pretty decent tonight, especially after dinner.  Nice to get out and do something.

Breakfast:  ~ 2 oz CF BBQ jerky, coffee

Only bag I had left, some random kind I have no idea why I selected.  Ingredient list has 4 different sugars, but it wasn't notably sweet at least.  I'll pick up more tomorrow hopefully.

Lunch:  Corned beef hash (with hash browns, potato and swiss cheese), cinnamon raisin toast, coffee

Different place, different version.  No egg with this one.  Good, but starchy.

Also:  BK frozen coke

You know this wasn't going to be bad.  And it wasn't.

Dessert:  Bowl of chocolate ice cream

This Post Has Nothing To Do With Donuts

Wednesday, May 30, 2018

It wasn't a completely terrible awful no good day.  I managed (barely) to avoid the siren song of fast food.  I ate things I had on hand.  I even ate what I had planned.  A rarity indeed.  (Edit:  I forgot the frozen Coke.  Oops.)

Exercise is going to limited to golf for a bit.  I've been having foot problems - mainly heel pain - and that's really cut into my inclination to walk.  I think it's easing up some (this has been going on for a few weeks now), let's hope.  And gym work is on a break due to funds.

Posts have been bare bones for a while, but I'm feeling verbose tonight and I don't have too many projects going at home for once.  I still have a list, but I think they're going to wait for the weekend.

Breakfast:  2 oz CF cajun beef jerky, coffee

If I make it to the farm this week I think this might become a regular breakfast feature.  It's about as easy as it gets, it's probably better for me than cured meats and it cuts out a little dairy if I skip cheese.

Lunch:  2 eggs fried in a pat of butter, 5 strips thick cut bacon, Alexia hash browns in butter, medium avocado

Featuring as always creole seasoning and hot sauce
This may be my death row meal.  I've always thought it would be pizza but this is so good.  Sure it's about 1000 calories (or more) but did I mention so good?  I have just absolutely nailed it the last two days -- pan fried the bacon instead of oven cooking, I just like it better that way and it's easier to do it on a lunch hour timeframe.

Mid-PM:   Frozen Coke from a gas station.

It was hot as balls today.

Pre-dinner:  2 hot shots, 12 oz Founders Solid Gold

I was hungry when I got home, this bought me an hour plus to sous vide the steak.

Dinner:  ~ 8 oz CF grassfed ribeye, sous vided and seared in a bit of avocado oil and butter, Vigo yellow rice

Sous vide makes perfect meat so easy.
Very good.  Sear is a little weak, but inside, no range hood, etc etc.  And I have leftovers for tomorrow night!

Dessert:  A dish of chocolate ice cream

I have a half gallon from a local farm to knock off.  Will get me through several more days.

Exercise:  Nope.  See above.
