It's been a mixed bag lately. I'm pretty happy with how I've been able to eat all meals at home the last couple weeks, other than meals out I'm not paying for (with the execption to that of Saturday breakfasts which are planned and I'm OK with). No drive thru breakfasts or lunches or pizza dinners. I am planning a pizza this weekend -- intentional, not out of laziness.
Next week we start working on some better food choices. I've gotten way too sloppy with the junk carbs. If I eat good stuff - protein, decent fats, vegetables - the weight should drop off. It just hasn't been the focus lately, I had to break some bad habits first.
Breakfast: CF cajun jerky, coffee
Really pleased with how this is working as a satisfying breakfast. It's easy (as long as I don't run out), portable and it doesn't take much to make appetite a non-issue all morning long. Skipping would be better (imo) but this isn't bad.
Lunch: Ham and cheese sandwich on a WM sub roll, Annie's cheddar bunnies, dill pickles
Same old, except I got these enormous (lol 260 calorie) sub rolls instead of hot dog buns.
Dinner: Yellow rice and leftover rotisserie chicken, chips and salsa verde, 12 oz Yuengling (forgot to log 12 oz Miller Lite yesterday). Will have a couple grape Outshine bars too.
Random stuff. Cleaned up my supply of rice, chicken, chips and salsa. Oh, and my last Yuengling. Not too much left from my trip to Walmart yesterday other than a bunch of sub rolls and a package of ham.
Exercise: Nope. Sluggish.

Pleased that the scale continues to be defective in my favor. Now to just clean up the eating some and be even more consistent with the exercise.
Breakfast: CF cajun jerky, coffee
Have not had the jerky in quite a while, still tastes exactly the same. How is that for an unexciting photo?
Lunch: 2 ham dogs, chips, dill pickle spears
Same as last night's dinner, pressed for time. Ate too many chips.
Dinner: Reuben, fries w ketchip, 16 oz All Day IPA, Meijer grape outshine bars
Business dinner. Solid meal from local irish pub.
Exercise: Nope

Breakfast: 2 eggs over medium, 3 strips bacon, hash browns, raisin toast, coffee
Standard pregolf breakfast out, no jelly today.
Lunch: 22 oz Miller Lite
Dinner: Yellow rice with diced ham, 24 oz Yuengling
This evening tested my eat-at-home willpower but I knew I had rice and it sounded good.
Exercise: 18 holes w cart, 11,500 steps or thereabouts.

Tired this morning. Didn't meet my goal of getting in to work early, but so it goes. It's been a reasonably productive start if not a notably great one. Need to pick it up this afternoon, though I worry about that since I faded notably yesterday and that was without the fatigued start. Fingers crossed.
Breakfast: Campbells chicken noodle soup
There willl be some oddballs as I draw down stocks of stuff on hand.
Lunch: 2 jalapeno cheddar hot dogs w mustard, crispy crowns w ketchup, dill pickle spears
One thing about hot dogs, a package lasts all week.
Dinner: Chips, Tostitos avocado salsa, 12 oz All Day IPA, taco meat w cheddar and sour cream, 12 oz Miller Lite
A bit much, ate way too many chips.
Exercise: Nope

Somewhat motivated. At least it's notably better than last week. I could have done without waking up at 3:30 and only sleeping fitfully thereafter but those are the breaks. I did manage to get in to the office somewhat early and did pretty well this morning. We'll see how the rest of the day goes.
Breakfast: Leftover home pizza w pep bacon bell peppers, coffee
More leftovers than I expected, more breakfast than expected.
Lunch: 2 jalapeno cheddar hot dogs w/ KM, crispy rounds w ketchup
Wait, that's not diet food! True. But it is stuff I bought and I'm eating it. I'm not eating out. We'll see if I do better at the grocery store next time (and after whenever I finish eating some of this crap)
Dinner: Ham, salami and cheese grinder (half), Lays chips, 12 oz Miller Lite, grape Meijer fruit pops
No photo.
Exercise: 9 holes with cart

Thinking that I am about ready. Finally. I mean I could be more ready -- I'm trying to get things cleaned up and prepped but time is so short. Lots of golf really cuts into the weekend. At least the golf has been keeping the weight in range, if I can make some improvements on the eating front there are some pounds that should drop off pretty quick.
Breakfast: Cajun hash browns w sausage, peppers, onion and 2 eggs, raisin toast, coffee
Tasty. I don't go out to breakfast on the weekends as often as I did pre-pandemic, but now that I can maybe I will. Or maybe I'll just fix breakfast at home. Or not eat breakfast. The possibilities are endless.
Lunch: McD 2x cheeseburger, fries, Dr. Pepper. Root beer
Dinner: Home olive burger, salad with ranch, peaches, Meijer lime bars
Very tasty, would eat the burger again.
Exercise: 18 holes with cart, about 9k steps. Also did the grocery shopping and moved three yards of bark. Surprised that I'm not more tired, but I am sure I will be.

It's been a heckuva couple weeks. Zero motivation, lots of stress, heaps of work, no productivity around the house. Finally broke through a bit this morning -- after an early to bed night that featured weird dreams and the worst snore score yet. Hoping to at least get the house sorted a bit as a step toward a productive week.
Weight has been fluctuating in a narrow band of six or eight pounds or so. No major gains but I've sure been eating like crap. I bought some carbage at the store yesterday, will probably clean that up but also have some designs on getting my ass in gear.
Breakfast: Yellow rice, coffee, lemon Oreos
Lunch: Wendy's Daves double, lemon lime gatorade
Dinner: Brat, potato salad, a few chips, strawberries, 16 oz Mich Ultra, 2 lime fruitsicle bars
Exercise: 18 holes with cart, min walking. <8k steps.
