Not many words.  Just TGIF.

Breakfast:  3 strips CF bacon, coffee

Last of it.

Lunch:  Slices of pizza

Okay.

Not That Close

Thursday, May 29, 2025

I can do a few hours of being good, but an entire day?  Bah.  Not so much.  I guess I'm not as close to really getting things rolling as I thought.

Boo.

Breakfast:  3 strips CF bacon, coffee

 

Satisfactory satiety as usual.  Don't need a big breakfast.

Lunch:  Taco meat, mashed potatoes, chocolate milk

 

Again.

Dinner:  Wendys sons of baconator, fries, ketchup

Crack.

Also fourthmeal, TB 5 dollar box, pepsi, burrito.  Ugh.

Exercise:  Nope

Superslug

Wednesday, May 28, 2025

Poky this morning.  I wasn't ready to go to bed when I got home last night and then I fought my eyelids for quite a while in the recliner before finally getting up and laying down.  If it were not for the contacts I probably would have been out cold.  Feels like I slept acceptably, it just was not enough.  And as a result I am very late to work this morning.

Cleared out some waste of all types and as such the scale was good this morning.  We'll see if I can maintain the experiment for a bit and if so how it goes.

Breakfast:  3 strips CF garlic pepper bacon, coffee

 

In a rush.

Lunch:   Wendys sons of baconator, fries w ketchup, glass of chocolate milk

If the farm offered a quart option I'd get that, a half gallon is quite a bit of milk for one person for a week.  I probably won't finish it.

Dinner: LC Pep pizza, crazy bread w sauce, glass of chocolate milk

Ugh.

Exercise: Nope

Made That Joke Too

Tuesday, May 27, 2025

I am definitely not the first to say that this is the Monday-est Tuesday ever, but I'm going with it.  Ugh.  I have no pep.

On the plus side I did wake up early (5:15) and didn't feel the need to go back to sleep, so there is hope that my schedule shifting project might get off the ground this week.  I elected not to go for a morning walk - I'm still feeling the effects of the weekend golf and will go out again this evening.  I will say that I'm not as beat up today which is good.  I was pretty tired last night.  I need to get rolling on the weight loss via eating better before I get too carried away with additional exercise.

Breakfast:  4 strips CF black pepper garlic bacon, coffee

 

Going to be an excessive coffee kind of day.

Lunch:  ~5 oz home taco meat, 2C mashed potatoes, glass of chocolate milk (at 4:30)

 

Trying something.   Also, and unrelated, I have had to rotate fewer photos lately.  AI?

Dinner:  French dip sandwich, avo oil chips

 

Standard Tuesday night fare.   No beer this time.

Exercise:   9 holes with cart

Overholidayed

Monday, May 26, 2025

Back to reality tomorrow.  Nice to have the extra day.  

Definitely beat up after golf, need to lose some weight I think before I get carried away with exercise.  Knees and legs are just not happy.

Breakfast:  McD egg mc muffin, hash browns, coffee

Early start so no usual breakfast out.

Lunch:  Hot dog MR, chips, 12 oz Miller Lite

Since I didn't have a big breakfast.

Dinner:  Double cheeseburgers, fries w ketchup, coke, snickers ice cream bars

Local place.  Got my business by being open.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart.  Tired.

Beat Up Beat Down

Sunday, May 25, 2025

Not sure why those two phrases can mean more or less the same thing, but I feel both of them this morning.  Tired, cranky knees, not a lot of pep.  Let's see what coffee can do for me.

Another sluggish start.  Woke up at 5:45, which has happened a couple times this week.  Minor headache, just enough to make going back to sleep immediately impossible.  Even after I got up, got rid of some water and hit the recliner I couldn't quite get there.  Oh well.  Lots to do.

Breakfast:  Lazy bagels with plain cream cheese, coffee

I had the necessary ingredients.

Lunch:  Wendys sons of baconator, fries w ketchup.  A few chips and onion dip.

Unusually good today.   Also snickers ice cream bars.

Dinner:  Brats, chips, salad no dressing, 12 oz Miller Lite

 Sunday dinners.  Also TB luxe box w pepsi, double beef burrito

Exercise:  9 holes with cart, plus otherwise very active.

Oops Forgot Title

Saturday, May 24, 2025

TGIS.  Even though I'm quite tired and didn't get a lot done it was still a decent day.

Nothing unusual to report, really.

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

 

Standard.

Lunch:  Chips and onion dip.

Too much.

Going to get a hot fudge sundae later.  Probably.

The Inspiring Conclusion Not Really

Friday, May 23, 2025

Phew.  It was not a good week.  Not at all.  Needed to a lot more work than I did.  At least I hit up a couple farms and restocked the freezer and milk supply.

But it's over and a holiday weekend is upon us.

Breakfast:  3 CF sausage patties, coffee

 

Last.

Lunch:  CFA spicy chicken sandwich add pepper jack, fries

It was okay, but I think I'm pretty much done with fast food chicken.

Dinner:  Burger with MPMushOnionJala and american cheese, tons of fries w ketchup, ice cream sandwiches

Local 5 guys style place, very good burger.  Meh on the fries but there were a million of them.

Exercise:  Nope

Unwarranted Morose Moments

Thursday, May 22, 2025

Not a great day.  Woke up after a couple hours with nasty acid reflux and spent the rest of the night in the recliner.  I just don't sleep well under those conditions.  Had nothing at work, did the bare minimum.  Disappointing.

I did spend some time on a new plan.  We'll see if I can put into action.

Breakfast:  3 CF sausage patties, coffee

 

Again.

Lunch:  TB double beef burrito, loaded beef nachos

Not awful and only six bucks.  I could not decide what I wanted today.

Dinner:  Hut thin pep ham beef, breadsticks

Ugh.

Exercise:  Nope

You Can Still Stand Tall

Wednesday, May 21, 2025

Trying to be thankful for what I got.

Definitely thankful that it's been a relatively light week.  I have not been locked in.  Not at all.  It's been a real struggle getting focused on anything.

Had a weird incident mid afternoon where my eyes just went loco, got a little dizzy and just felt way off for a while.  Not vertigo, I don't think, but not entirely unlike it.  Had some water, stepped away from the screens and it cleared up eventually.  I hope that it does not repeat.

Breakfast:  3 CF sausage patties, bread w butter, coffee

 

 

Again.  Excellent satiety.

Lunch:  4 eggs scrambled w onions and peppers, cheese, hash browns

 

Much like yesterday.  It was okay, I guess.

Dinner:  LC pep pizza, crazy bread and sauce

Worst one I've had.  Might help wrt to not going back.

Exercise:  Nope.

I Didn't Even Read Your Email Because I Knew It Would Engrage Me

Tuesday, May 20, 2025

No reason.  Really.

Anyway, another day.  Calling yesterday a success as I consumed no beetus juice.  Hopefully done with that and also starting to make dietary progress.

Breakfast:  3 CF sausage patties, bread w butter, coffee

 

Again.  Last package of sausage, I'll have to find my way out to the farm.

Lunch:  4 eggs, sunny mostly hard.  Hash browns in refined coconut and olive oil, a few chips

 

Probably will have a slice of bread w butter also.

Dinner:  Wendys singles/son of baconator, cheese toast

Couldn't decide what to have.

Exercise:  Nope, rained out.

114.2

No Juice

Monday, May 19, 2025

New week.  Not ready for it but I will do it.  

Didn't sleep great and definitely could have used more.  I'm so sluggish in the morning.  My knees (and adjacent muscles and such) are also not real thrilled.  Getting up isn't my most favorite thing right now.  Hopefully axing some stuff, starting with the beetus juice, and losing some pounds will help.

Breakfast:  Bread w butter, coffee

 

Surprisingly good satiety.

Lunch:  Double cheeseburgers, fries

From the local.

Dinner:  2x mexican 2x american tacos, a few Krunchers

Might be time for a break from taco Monday.

Exercise:  Nope

The Slowest Of Starts

Sunday, May 18, 2025

Very sluggish this morning.  Woke up at 4:00, then at 5:45.  Moved to the recliner, didn't really get back to a deep sleep.  Disappointing since I didn't even set an alarm.  Just lazed about forever, which is going to push a lot of chores to this evening.

Breakfast:  Cheese toast, coffee

 

 

Lazy food.

Lunch: 2x son of baconator, coke

Quick.

Dinner:  Steak, mashed potatoes, asparagus, 12 oz Miller Lite, ice cream, coke, krunchers, no bakes

 

Sunday dinners, then excess.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart

Nothing Post

Saturday, May 17, 2025

TGIS.  It's been a good day.  But I sure have nothing in the tank after a long day of golf.

Nothing.

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

 

Screwed up the toast order.

Lunch:  12 oz Miller Lite, chips and onion dip, some taco bell

Ugh.

Dinner:  Brisket tacos, chips and guac, coke

 

Local place, it was not their finest effort.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart

Friday, May 16, 2025

Sacks Of Fat

Not impressive.

Breakfast:  3 CF sausage patties, bread w butter, orange juice, coffee

 

Again.

I'll take it.

Again.

An Off Day That Was Not A Day Off

Monday, May 12, 2025

Did not have it today, not at all.  It was bad.

No pep.  A bit of headache.  Felt off.  And of course the late day sinus allergies.  Ugh.

Breakfast:  A couple beef snack stick bites, coffee

These would have been much better a week ago.  Didn't eat much, just tossed 'em.

Lunch:  Double cheeseburgers, fries

Local place, great burgers.

Dinner:  Chili cheese dogs, fries, coke, a few chips

Another local place, very tasty.  Not good for diet, but tasty.

Didn't drink much of the drink.  In a rush.

Sunday dinners, birthday party style.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, plenty of walking.  I am tired.

So So SO SO Off

Ending with annoying sinuses.  Damn them.

Again.

The Neverending Story (of Fatness)

Tuesday, May 6, 2025

Got nothing today.  Nothing interesting at all.

About all I can say is that it was a fantastically productive morning.

Breakfast:  2 CF sausage patties, bread w butter, orange juice, coffee

 

Again.  Excellent satiety.

Lunch:  Turkey and cheese sandwich, Maiz taco flavor avo oil tortilla chips

 

Supersized the sandwich.  If the local baker did half loaves I'd buy those, there are a million slices in a full loaf - even going nuts with the bread the date is up tomorrow so I'll end up chucking half a loaf in the freezer.

Dinner:  French dip, 12 oz Miller Lite

 

It was a very bready day. Also TB 2x soft taco and loaded beef nachos.

Exercise:  9 holes with cart

Needless Drama

Monday, May 5, 2025

Ugh, Monday again.  It was not a great day.

Didn't really get enough sleep, was late getting to bed and then only slept so-so.  Could have used a couple more hours.  Hoping to get to bed earlier tonight.

Breakfast:  2 CF sausage patties, 2 slices bread w butter, orange juice, coffee

 

This was actually more than I needed.

Lunch:  Turkey sandwich w butter, cheddar asiago cheese

 

Five minute lunch.  Turkey is smoked, from the BBQ place.  Pretty good but the satiety was meh.

Dinner:  Leftover brisket, beans, guac, Maiz taco flavor tortilla chips, 12 oz All Day IPA

Decided to skip the usual tacos due to Cinco de Mayo.  Excessive.

Exercise:  Nope

Bodily Mysterogrophy

Sunday, May 4, 2025

Slow start this morning.  While I was ready to go to bed early last night, it took far too long to motivate myself out of the recliner.  Got up at 5:00, scrolled for a bit, then dozed off in the recliner.  Lots of dreaming so I was asleep.

Anyway, of note this morning was that my bad leg was completely unswollen and the same size as the other.  This happens every couple of months and I never have any idea why.  It doesn't appear to be correlated with anything, the only thing unusual about yesterday is that I drank less water.  But nothing dramatic.  This is a mystery I'll probably never solve.

Breakfast:  Parmesan toast, coffee

 

Very late breakfast, almost lunch

Lunch:  Ham and wild rice soup

 

Was supposed to be Friday's lunch.

Dinner:   BLT, chips, 12 oz Miller Lite, ice cream and cookies

 

Sunday dinners.  Also fourthmeal:  2x Wendys son of baconator, coke

Exercise:  18 holes with cart.  Extra walking.  TIRED.

Too Much Sauce

Saturday, May 3, 2025

Glad to have a weekend.

Nothing of any particular note.  

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

 

Earlier, I had a couple lemon cinnamon rolls I bought yesterday.  Which I should not have.  Really need to swear off buying grocery store baked goods, they're full of "ingredients".

Lunch:  A couple cashews, 12 oz Miller Lite

Post-golf.

Dinner:  Brisket w Stubbs spicy BBQ sauce, a few chips, another couple lemon cinnamon rolls

 

Today's course took me past a BBQ place.  Poured way too much sauce.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, more walking than usual.

104.6

Big Exhale

Friday, May 2, 2025

Whew.  Made it through the week.  It was a rough one.

Need to find some time for lots of things this weekend.  Golf both days is going to make that a challenge.

Breakfast:  McD burrito, sausage mcmuffin, hash brown.  Coffee

Okay.

Lunch:  Qdoba brisket bowl

Also okay.

Dinner:  Steak and Shake double burger, fries

Meh.

Also a few chips, onion dip, 12 oz All Day IPA

Exercise:  Nope

Feels Scale

Thursday, May 1, 2025

April is in the books and good riddance.  Technically I was down a few pounds for the month, all of which took place over two days.

Strangely enough I was down some today for no obvious reason.  I had a major blowup last night, ate way too much chain pizza.  Frustrated.  Annoyed.  Tired.  All of the things.  And yet here we are.  I felt fat this morning but it was still fairly dense.

Anyway, whatever.  Not a good day today either.  But tomorrow is Friday.  I have plans to hit a new grocery store for a couple items I can't get locally.  There will probably be brisket involved.  And hopefully much golf (and a little work) this weekend.

Breakfast:  2 strips CF HD bacon, coffee

 

Last of it.

Lunch:  Jimmy Johns toasted italian (minus mayo, v&o, plus mustard and peppers), salt and vinegar chips, diet lemonade

Work.

Dinner:  Chips and onion dip, taco rice, guac, 12 oz All Day IPA, chocolate milk

 

Excessive.  And a very chippy day.

Exercise:  Nope.  Need to get moving.
