And More Predictability

Monday, July 11, 2022

So.  Much.  Stress.

This is not good.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Leftover egg casserole, some mixed nuts

I don't know what they did to break blogger (and google photos) but this effing sucks.

Dinner:  2x American, 2x Mexican tacos, 12 oz All Day IPA, chips and onion dip, Nicks triple choc

They did a good job with the tacos tonight.  Very solid.

Predictable Retention

Sunday, July 10, 2022

I could see it coming.  Thirsty last night.  Drank a lot of water.  Didn't let much go.  Also retained other stuff this morning, didn't get that moving.  And so the scale as expected was up quite a bit.  I know it'll go away, but it's still a good reason not to eat that crap.

Breakfast:  Lazy bagels, coffee

Completely forgot the cream cheese.  Oops.

Lunch:   Egg bake (eggs, milk, sausage, ham, swiss/gruyere cheese, onion, green pepper, jalapenos)

Tasty.

Dinner:  Home cheeseburger MPT, chips, salad no dressing, 12 oz Miller Lite, strawberries and vanilla ice cream, chili cheese fritos

Yeesh.  Too much.  But good.  It's a shame it's the last of the strawberry season.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, quite a bit of extra walking.

Spoken Words

Saturday, July 9, 2022

TGIS.  Again not much to say today, nice summer day.

Breakfast:  Standard pregolf breakfast out.  (2 eggs, 3 strips bacon, hash browns, raisin toast w strawberry jam, coffee)

Forgot to take a photo until I was almost finished.  Oops.  A little extra jam today.

Lunch:  Jalapeno cheddar popcorn, 12 oz Miller Lite, 12 oz Coors Light

Dinner:  Home Run Inn frozen meat lover's pizza

Excessive.  Very.  But pretty good.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, average walking

I Guess That's Usual

Friday, July 8, 2022

TGIF.  Didn't have a ton of pep today.  Nothing much to say.  Not many accomplishments either, though I guess getting my groceries is one thing I can check off the list.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Soup, 2x hot dog bun w butter and sharp cheddar

Cleaned up the odd buns.  Soup could have been hotter, was in a rush.

Dinner:  Onion burger, chips, 16 oz Mich Ultra, sweet potato waffle fries, Nicks mint chip.

Solid.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, as much extra walking as possible.

Not Much

Thursday, July 7, 2022

Not much to say today.  Work is insane.  I'm swamped.  It's stressful.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Stacked ham and cheese on pretzel bun.  CFA spicy and frosted lemonade

Same as yesterday.  No chips tho.  And then I went to CFA.  Doh.

Dinner:  Hot dogs w KMO, Alexia onion rings, 12 oz Coors Light, a few cashews, Nicks triple chocolate

Cleaned up the dogs.  Applegate naturals, quite good but pricy.  I was underwhelmed by the onion rings, though they were better air fried for 8 minutes than they were at 10 yesterday.

Exercise:  Nope.

34.4

Salad Clearout

Wednesday, July 6, 2022

Having a salad for dinner remains a good thing.  Moved out a bunch of stuff from the system and between that and a haircut (lol) I was leaner and lighter this morning.  It's kinda a shame that I get bored with salad (other than the late lamented taco salad) super fast.  Oh well.  Bad stuff on tap for dinner tonight.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Stacked ham and cheese on pretzel roll, chips

Working on cleaning some things up.  I'll finish the pretzel buns, ham and cheese tomorrow, wiped out the chips today.

Dinner:  Hot dogs, air fried Alexia onion rings, 12 oz Coors Light, a few cashews, Nicks PB cup

Not exactly health food, but I'll clean up the rest of it tomorrow.

Exercise:  Nope.  Rest day.

Still Eating and Eating and

Tuesday, July 5, 2022

I redid my menu plan for the week this morning.  Turns out I have more bad for me stuff to eat, I guess I got a little carried away at the grocery store last week.  Oops.  I guess getting refocused is going to have to wait a bit.

All this bad eating and exercise has played havoc with my sleep.  Woke up multiple times, got up a few to deal with cramps and other issues.  Not enjoyable.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Leftover home big mac, chips

Worked quite well having the leftover burger patties.  I may have to batch cook those more often.

Dinner:  Chef salad with ranch, bread w butter, 16 oz Labatt Blue, Nicks mint chip

Usual place was closed tonight so we went elsewhere.  It was fine.  Was a little odd that they gave me a slice of bread, but okay.

Exercise:  9 holes with cart, minimal walking

More Of Same

Sunday, July 3, 2022

Even if it is a holiday weekend (and it is, ldo), the usual things still must be done.  So laundry, cooking and cleaning it is.

Also:  It's going to be a very bready day.  Need to get this out of my system.

Breakfast:  Lazy bagels with whipped cream cheese, coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Home burger Big Mac style on pretzel bun, grilled mushrooms w garlic butter

Exercise:  27 holes with cart, average walking

Confusing As Ever

Friday, July 1, 2022

Pizza and 'ice cream' and I didn't get the spike on the scale I expected.  Huh.  Weight is weird.

Anyway, ended June up two pounds, which is well within the margin of error.  It's not good but given the eating fiascoes, it's fine.  Could have been much, much worse.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Leftover egg bake, CFA spicy, fries, frosted lemonade later (lunch part 2)

Forgot that I ate my last slice of bread w butter (and some cashews) last night.  Need to add those.  Anyway, last of the eggs for this week, turned out quite good.

My blogger has stopped playing nice with google photos, which is VERY annoying.

Dinner:  Bellatoria ultra thin frozen deluxe pizza, 12 oz Coors Light, Nicks mint chip

Exercise:  Nope.  Was going to play but ended up canceling.

Just Desserts For A Month

 Thursday, June 30, 2022

End of the month.  It's been a mild failure as far as eating and exercise go, but nothing incredibly egregious.  Basically I get what I deserve.  And I think my lowest number for this whole journey was on the first of the month, so I didn't have anything easy to let go of in order to get a good number.  

So it goes.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Leftover egg bake, toast

Yup.

Dinner:  Dominos thin pep onio jala, 12 oz Coors Light, Nicks chocolate PB

Yeesh.

Exercise:  Nope.

The Usual FAIL

Wednesday, June 29, 2022

Sigh.  I'm so off my game.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Brisket w a bit of hot BBQ sauce, brisket chili, corn cake

Also (DOH):  CFA spicy, fries, frosted lemonade

The fries were thrown in, a store freebie promo.  

Dinner:  Leftover egg casserole, toast, 12 oz All Day IPA, SF chocolate pudding w unsweet coconut

OK.

Exercise:  Nope.

Butter Respect

Tuesday, June 28, 2022

Just ate a lot of butter at lunch.  And I'm impressed.  Butter promotes satiety.

Used a different egg casserole recipe this week, this one calls for adding melted butter to the eggs etc before it gets baked.  I can definitely tell that it's richer than my usual recipe.  I was beginning to get full even before eating my poorly-toasted toast.  Which is unusual.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Egg casserole, toast

This egg casserole had more eggs, a little milk, crumbled bacon, onion, jalapenos and a swiss/cheddar blend.  Not exactly as written but close enough.

Dinner:  Chef salad with ranch, 12 oz Miller Lite, SF butterscotch pudding w unsweet coconut

Yup.  Didn't even need a snack before golf, excellent satiety from lunch.  The salad was not one of their finer efforts but I still ate the whole thing.

Exercise:  9 holes with cart, minimal walking.

Deserved Most Definitely

Monday, June 27, 2022

Sigh, another unsuccessful weekend at eating and accomplishing.  Other than getting in quite a bit of golf, that is.  Doesn't really count as an accomplishment tho.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  3 eggs over easy, 3 strips bacon, TCD style mashed potatoes, some mixed nuts

I like breakfast but man it's slow to kick in the satiety signal.  Thus the nuts.

Dinner:  2x mexican 2x american tacos, 12 oz Coors Light, mixed nuts, SF banana cream pudding w unsweet coconut

Nuts are all gone now.

Exercise:  Nope.  Rest day.

You Get What You Eat

 Sunday, June 26, 2022

... or something like that.  I ate a bunch of crap last night and predictably was up a bunch this morning.

So it goes.  Summer weekends.  Man.  Lack of will.  Pathetic.

Breakfast:  Lazy 'bagels' with plain whipped cream cheese, 2 strips bacon, coffee

I mixed the "dough" (it's self rising flour plus greek yogurt) in the stand mixer this time and just dumped in chunks on the baking mat.  Worked out fine.  And a heckuva lot less messy.

Lunch:  2x McDouble

Got up a little late and have an early tee time (relatively) so I didn't have time to make my egg casserole.

Dinner:  Steak, sun chips, salad no dressing, garlic toast, 16 oz Mich Ultra, strawberries w vanilla ice cream, Nice cheddar popcorn, Nice vanilla wafer cookies

Yeesh.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, a bit above average walking

Professional Shots

Saturday, June 25, 2022

TGIS.  Of course.

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

Standard pre-golf breakfast out.  They were busy and slow.

Lunch:  12 oz Miller Lite, chips and onion dip.  Way too many chips.

Doh.

Dinner:  CFA spicy, mac and cheese, frosted lemonade.  Later, TB 2x chipotle chix burrito, chips and cheese, cantina chicken taco

Out of control eating tonight.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, a little more than average walking

Too Many Snacks

Friday, June 24, 2022

Painfully aware at how lax I have become.  Too many snacks.  Too much fake sugar.  There isn't any need for it.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Soup and toast

Yup.

Dinner:  Brat with mustard, a few chips, pickle spear, asparagus w cherry tomatoes and a little cheese, 16 oz Mich Ultra, Cheez It white cheddar popcorn

I ate half the asparagus.  It was goood.  Oh and I had a few mixed nuts before golf.

Exercise:  9 holes with cart, modest walking

Nicked Again

Thursday, June 23, 2022

This month is flying by.   Almost over already.  I'm somewhat annoyed with myself that I haven't lost any weight this month -- I'm up a couple pounds -- but given that I've applied about zero discipline I guess it's not the end of the world.  Summer just isn't a great time for weight loss, too many delicious things to eat.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Soup and toast

Been a while it seems.  This wasn't my favorite batch of soup  But I did the toast differently (forgot to take out butter so I just melted a whack in the pan and added the bread) and that was delightful.

Dinner:  Lentils, 12 oz Coors Light, Better Made jala cheddar popcorn, Nicks PB chocolate

It was almost 8:00 before I ate something.  I was hungry.  Which kinda explains the impulse buy of the popcorn.

Exercise:  Nope.

Not Triscuited Too Badly

Wednesday,  June 22, 2022

Well, at least I didn't pay a big price for eating a bunch of effing Triscuits last night.  The rest of the day being relatively OK and the modest exercise of golf was enough.  Thank goodness.  Need to knock that off.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Smoked sausage, a little hot bbq sauce, smoked mushrooms, bread and butter pickles

I had a work obligation where I could take a small detour and hit the BBQ place I first tried last month and once again I'm glad I stopped.  They were sold out of brisket, alas, but I got a lot of sausage instead.  I was expecting one fat link and instead I got three good sized ones!  Plus the obligatory smoked mushrooms.  Yum.  Pretty reasonably priced, too - a lot of food for less than $15.

Dinner:   Leftover egg casserole, 12 oz All Day IPA, mixed nuts, later - Nick's triple chocolate

Shifted the last of the eggs to dinner to accomodate the lunch stop.  No problem at all.

Exercise:  Nope.

To The Ounce

Tuesday, June 21, 2022

I was rather amused this morning when I confidently predicted what the scale would say and was exactly right.  Including the fraction of a pound.  

Slept much better last night, eating less, earlier and a little better meant less snoring.  I would have liked to have gone to sleep earlier than I did but overall it was OK.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Leftover breakfast casserole, some mixed nuts

I need to give this a fair trial as a lunch/dinner option, I do like how easy it is and how well it reheats.  Minus the nuts, that is.

Dinner:  Chef salad with ranch, 12 oz Miller Lite, avo cilantro lime Triscuits, Nick's mint chip

Sigh.  Really wasn't too enamored of the Triscuits.  Enjoyed the Nicks though.

Exercise:  9 holes with cart, not much walking.  Hot and windy.

Could Have Been Worse

Monday, June 20, 2022

Could have been much worse.  Somehow my scale was understanding this morning and didn't stick me with the expected big gain.  After a delightful night, too -- I ate bad, too much and too late so the snoring was bad, plus I had a cramp attack around 2:00.  Yeesh.  Let's do better this week.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Yup.

Lunch:  Leftover breakfast casserole

Not much to add.

Dinner:  3x tacos American style, 12 oz All Day IPA, mixed nuts, SF butterscotch pudding w unsweet coconut

Fat tacos tonight, glad I only ordered three.  Good stuff.

Exercise:  Nope.  Rest day, and probably needed, was feeling a little beat up yesterday after playing three days in a row.
