Father's Day

TGI that other S.  Another beautiful weekend day on tap.   It's supposed to heat up starting tomorrow so I intend to enjoy today fully.  And call tomorrow again to see if I can get on the schedule for air conditioner service.

Puffy this morning, weight up a bit.  I really need to buckle down, I've gone from slacking to outright FAIL with the eating lately.  For no good reason.  Today will feature bad eating due to a family party, but tomorrow I have no such excuse.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:    Sausage egg casserole, "bagel bits" with butter

The bagel bits were a hilarious fail.  I found a recipe for air fryer dunkin' bagel bites.  Supposed to be filled with cream cheese.  Except I never came close to getting the dough to stop being sticky.  So I gave up, put them in pans and baked them more like biscuits.  Turned out just fine but they were not what I had planned on.  Oh, and no cream cheese.

Dinner:   Brat w mustard, hot dog no bun, chips, strawberries, pasta salad, cake and vanilla ice cream, 2 BK double cheese, chx nuggets

Sigh.  Refocusing tomorrow.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, average plus walking.

Ugh Q

Saturday, June 18, 2022

TGIS.  Said it before, saying it again.  A beautiful summer Saturday.

Breakfast:  2 eggs, 3 strips bacon, hash browns, raisin toast w homemade jam, coffee

Standard pre-golf breakfast out.

Lunch:   12 oz Miller Lite, chips and homemade dip

Winged a kinda pickle dip, it was fine.

Dinner:  Qdoba chicken bowl, CFA spicy, frosted lemonade

I'm going to have to put the local Qdoba on timeout.  The cleanliness (lack thereof) was unsettling.  Front of the house, back of the house, it was all a disaster.  They did have at least six people working and while it was steady they were not overrun with customers.  I ate my bowl anyway but not without some trepidation.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, above average walking

Pounds of Water

Friday, June 17, 2022

Thank goodness it's Friday.   And a beautiful day.

Chain pizza in general but Hut in particular wrecks me.  So dehydrated.  Literally drank a half gallon of water and had a bottle of Gatorade Zero in the hours after dinner.  Tons of liquid.  A lot of which was retained.  Between that and about five hours of recliner sleep and this morning was predictably not so good.   Oh well.  It'll take time but I'll drop that liquid.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Lentils, bread with butter

Should have toasted the bread, it was rather stale.

Dinner:  Onion burger, chips, 16 oz Mich Ultra, 3x TB chipotle chicken burritos, choc SF pudding w unsweet coconut

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, not that much walking

Thursday, June 17, 2022

Yup.

Lunch:  Meat lover's omelette, raisin toast

New place to me, it was OK.

Also:  CFA spicy, frosted lemonade

Exercise:  Nope

Chip Delay

Wednesday, June 15, 2022

I was expecting bad things on the scale this morning after eating too many chips last night.  Darned salt craving.  But ... it wasn't bad.  At all.  It's possible that it's just delayed, but for today anyway a price was not paid.  

In general summer is just a pain for staying on track.  Way too much eating out, eating too late, too many social occasions and so much junk food.  There is stuff I can resist but definitely not all of it.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Leftover eggchilada filling, bread w butter

Same as yesterday, now out of the eggs.

Dinner:  Pep ham pizza, Nick's mint chip

Long story to this and it took an extra hour to get it, but it's not worth the effort to tell it.

Exercise:  Nope.

Salted

Tuesday, June 14, 2022

First real hot day of the summer.  It was toasty out there.  At least the humidity wasn't up quite as high as I would have expected, so it was tolerable.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Leftover eggchilada filling, bread w butter

Didn't bother toasting the bread since I just made it on Sunday.

Dinner:  Chef salad w ranch, 12 oz Miller Lite, chips w pickle dip

Craved salt so I bought a bag of chips on the way home and cleaned up the pickle dip.  Hoping I'm sufficiently hydrated and electrolyted and I'll sleep well.  Ate too many chips.

Exercise:  9 holes wtih cart.  No notable extra walking.

Mondays man.  Ate too much tonight.

Exercise:  Nope.  Rest day.

Peachy

Sunday, June 12, 2022

I guess I would say that yesterday was pretty successful.  I ran a lot of errands with good success.  Found a big supply of my favorite hot sauce at a mexican grocery, unsweetened coconut at Blain's, used up a bunch of Walgreens reward dollars and spent nine bucks on a 3 lb box of my preferred salt for cooking.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Brunch:  Mexican egg scramble (eggs, sausage, jack cheese, peppers, onion, enchilada sauce)

Also:  Pretzel chips and pickle dip

Dinner:  Steak, Sun Chips, garlic toast, asparagus, 16 oz Mich Ultra, strawberries and ice cream

Sunday dinners.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, average walking

Standard pre-golf breakfast out

Late Productivity

Thursday, June 9, 2022

I guess I got the benefit of a little favorable karma.  I ate way too much and the wrong stuff last night.  Expected to be up this morning, was not.  Yay.  After a not terribly productive business hour day I had a massive surge (unexpected) of initiative and did a bunch of stuff.  Ran a couple work-related errands, grabbed dinner, then went back until after midnight.  Got a lot of stuff sorted, picked up and ready to move.  Organized work to do.  Better late than never on that productivity, I guess.  It is rather annoying how much more productive I am after hours though.

Didn't get much sleep as a result, but this morning went OK and the productivity carried on.  No massive accomplishments but I keep ticking things off the to do list. 

Breakfast:  Coffee

Standard.

Lunch:  Soup, toast, swiss cheese

Also standard.  Cleaned up the package of cheese.

Dinner:  Lentils, 12 oz All Day IPA, Siete chips w guac, butterscotch SF pudding

First time I've seen the butterscotch in stores so I grabbed a few.  

Edit:  Cracked hard and ate a bunch of pretzel chips.  Doh.

Exercise:  Nope.  Rest day.  I mean I've been more active than usual and I was way more active than usual yesterday hauling stuff around but I'm not counting either one.

Low Or No

Wednesday, June 8, 2022

Good to have no expectations this morning.  It didn't matter what the scale said and what it said was perfectly fine.  I still need to make adjustments, but ... okay.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.  Not a lot of pep this morning, didn't get nearly enough sleep.

Lunch:  Soup, toast, 3 slices Meijer swiss cheese

Fresh batch of soup, all good.  A little slow using up the cheese, I'm sure I'm past the 3-5 days after opening that is recommended on the package.  I'll eat the rest tomorrow.

Dinner:   Qdoba chicken bowl.  Also CFA spicy sandwich, frosted lemonade, Nice oatmeal cookies

Sigh.  Dinner out.  On the run.  It was big and better than expected (I'm usually indifferent to chicken but this had so many other delicious flavors).  Then I had more stuff.  Oh well.

Exercise:  Nope.  Rest day.  At least that's what I'm calling it.

Further Hangover

Tuesday, June 7, 2022

Always disappointing to see an increase, even when it's a really small one.  I'm blaming this one on a pizza hangover or possibly chips and dip hangover.  Oh well.  I know that I'll have to be more disciplined in terms of what (and also how much) I eat, and I'll have to be more active.  

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Leftover LC mexican egg casserole

Last of it.  Good stuff.  Going to call them eggchiladas in the future.

Dinner:  Chef salad w ranch, 12 oz Miller Lite, SF white chocolate pudding

Also had some mixed nuts before golf.

Exercise:  9 holes w cart, average walking.

Pizza Punishment

Monday, June 6, 2022

Punishment really isn't the right word but I'm not entirely sure what is.  Hangover might be the closest one I can think of at the moment.  When I eat chain pizza in particular (but pizza in general too) there are consequences.  I'm sure the chips and pickle dip didn't help either.

Don't know if was correlated but I did have foot and leg cramps last night for the first time in a while.  Which was annoying.  And kinda painful.  Did not enjoy.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Leftover eggchiladas

Like I think I said yesterday, I may just make the filling next time and skip the egglife wraps.  

Dinner:  2 mexican 2 american tacos, 12 oz All Day IPA, chips and pickle dip, SF banana cream pudding

Clean up on the chips, otherwise pretty standard stuff.

Exercise:  Nope.  A much needed rest day, body feeling a little beat up at the moment.

Not Feeling A Title Sorry

Sunday, June 5, 2022

Not much to say.  An OK day.  Too bad tomorrow has to be Monday.

Breakfast:  Toast, coffee

Had some leftover bread to eat up.  

Lunch:  Scrambled eggs with sausage, onion, peppers, jack cheese, enchilada sauce

Had extra filling after making eggchiladas so I ate it for lunch.

Also:  Chips and homemade fried pickle dip

Yup.

Dinner:  Dominos brooklyn style ham, jala and onion, 16 oz Elysian IPA

Audible.  Otherwise would have had something thawed.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, felt like a lot of walking certainly more than usual.

Guh

Saturday, June 4, 2022

Welp.  That wasn't what I wanted to see on the scale this morning.  But whatever.  TGIS.

Breakfast:  2 eggs over medium, 3 strips bacon, hash browns, raisin toast w homemade jam, coffee

Standard breakfast out.  Not their finest effort, everything needed a little more time on the griddle.

Lunch:  Sandwiches, carrots/celery w ranch, a few olives, a bit of sausage/cheese

Graduation party.

Dinner:  Additional sandwiches, 12 oz Coors Light, vanilla SF pudding

Took a plate of sandwiches with me.

Exercise:  18 holes w cart, average walking

Good No Change

Friday, June 3, 2022

Didn't know what to expect this morning, so I was happy enough to see no change.

And also, happy Friday.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Spicy bacony beans, toast, cottage cheese

Out of soup so I went with beans.  I may have one or two jars left in the freezer, this batch could use to be cleaned up.  I did clean up the cottage cheese and didn't buy one for next week.

Dinner:   Antipasto salad with ranch, 16 oz Mich Ultra

Ate very little of the dressing, the salad didn't really need it.  Prettay good.

Also:  32 oz All Day IPA.  Went to a concert.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, average walking.

Small Bound

Thursday, June 2, 2022

I wouldn't have been terribly surprised by anything the scale said this morning.  I did predict a rebound and it turns out that is what I got, though it was only half of the amount I guessed.  So it's fine.  Really, anything like that is within the margin of error.  So no worries.  A small rebound after a big drop to a new low is no big deal.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.  Second cup was from McDonalds which is different.

Lunch:  Soup, toast, cottage cheese

Not at all different.  Out of soup now though.

Dinner:  Lentils, 12 oz All Day IPA, mixed nuts, SF banana cream pudding

Out of coconut and again this week they didn't have any at the store.  They did have grass finished ground beef for five bucks a pound though so I didn't get me.  They also didn't have much SF pudding.  The banana cream wasn't bad, definitely different.

Exercise:  Nope.  Needed all the sleep I could get.

Talk About Off On the Right

Wednesday, June 1, 2022

Wow.  June very much got off on the right foot.  I had a couple hints that it was going to be a good morning - felt lean after golf last evening, could feel more bone than usual when stretched out in bed, just general good feels.  And then I hopped on the scale and was blown away.  I'm still very much fat enough that big drops are possible, I just never expect them.

Now if only I can maintain that momentum and also start getting some going at work.  We'll see.  And we'll see how much I rebound tomorrow.  It happens.

I do think that perhaps fewer carbs yesterday was helpful, though I didn't dispose of a notable quantity of water.  So maybe some tweaks along those lines would be a good idea.  Certainly I plan to keep the egg casserole in the rotation as that really turned out good and reheated well.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Soup, toast, cottage cheese

Standard.

Dinner:  Lentils, 12 oz Coors Light, mixed nuts, SF white chocolate pudding w unsweet coconut

Also pretty standard.  

Exercise:  Nope.  Due for a rest day.
