Trying again to reboot and build a little momentum. Leaving on vacation in less than two weeks and I would really like to be laser focused between now and then. It probably won't work out that way, but it would be nice. I am super busy today, so it will be a challenge. But I feel decent so let's see how it goes.
Breakfast: Coffee, yogurt
Lunch:
Dinner:
Exercise: Managed to get up early enough - nothing like when I was really in a groove, but ... - to get in a short walk. Pedometer said 1.5 miles in 30 minutes, as usual it was probably a bit less than that. Slow. My legs are not feeling good and some ankle trouble has resurfaced.

June Is For Diligence
Saturday, June 1, 2013
... or something. I need to reboot. Desperately. I am tired. Fat. Can feel the gains I've made slipping away. Writing this at night after another day of bad eating.
Breakfast: 3 egg omelet w/ bacon, cream cheese and avocado, 2 slices sourdough toast w butter, coffee
Snack: Package of peanut butter crackers, coffee
Lunch: Corned beef reuben with fries, 12 oz Miller Lite
Snack: Chips and onion dip
Dinner: Taco Bell, chicken burritos and beefy crunch burritos
Exercise: 18 holes with cart
Otherwise felt meh. Way, way behind on sleep. May stress level was off the charts. It has to get better.

Need More Synonyms For FAIL
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
About the only good thing I can say about the last 24 hours is hey, I had an okay breakfast yesterday.
Just getting killed by work. Went home at about 11 last night. So much to do and it's causing me to overeat and eat drive thru crap that doesn't even sound good.
Sigh.
Breakfast: Mcdonald's bacon egg cheese biscuit, hash browns, 2 sausage burritos, coffee

Reboot One Hundred
Monday, May 20, 2013
Trying again. I really need to embrace my inner Yoda ("there is no try, only do or not do" or something like that). Or my inner Nike ("just do it"). It makes me laugh to try those things.
The last week or so has been brutal on several fronts. One, allergies. I was so miserable I broke down and bought benadryl. I hate taking meds. But when I can't sleep or function that counts as necessity. Two, eating and exercise. The binging and slacking continued. Three, work. OMFG, this is horrid.
This morning, though I was very, very sluggish getting going, it's going okay so far. It's a couple hours into the day and I'm just getting cranked up at work, but at least it's going. And I'm optimistic that I'll get some things done for once.
Edit: More super FAIL.
Breakfast: Yogurt, coffee
Lunch: Jimmy John's vito sub, salt & vinegar chips
Dinner: Double cheeseburgers, fries
Snack: 2 Taco Bell chicken burritos, 1 black bean burrito
Exercise: None

Anticipating the Fail
Tuesday, May, 14, 2013
Golf season is underway, and on Tuesdays that means a few beers and trying to extract value out of a buffet, which is a polite way of saying that I'll eat too much.
Yesterday got off to a promising start but I really need to not wait until 4:00 to eat lunch. I was too hungry and ended up eating way, way too much.

Monday Morning Coming Up
Monday, May 13, 2013
We'll see if I can successfully get refocused, starting right now. Off to an okay start this morning, though instead of being awake and going for a walk I found a chair and snoozed. Otherwise feeling okay. I have been so very far off the last couple of months. My conditioning hasn't fallen off a cliff - I have walked 18 holes a couple of times - but it's definitely diminished. I have gained some weight and it's quite noticeable around the middle. So let's get back on track.
Spring and summer are always challenging. Beer. BBQs. Golf. Other temptations. We'll see how it goes.
Edit: It went poorly. Actually, it went swimmingly until 4:00, when I had lunch. And it was downhill from there.
Breakfast: Yogurt, coffee
Lunch: 12" Subway ham and pepperjack on italian herb, lots of Fritos
Dinner: Double cheeseburger and fries
Exercise: None. Was supposed to go for a walk in the evening, walking buddy didn't make it so I didn't go.
FAIL.

Intervening days.
Probably not going to add much detail here. Fat and (mostly) happy. Unfocused. Awful, awful eating.

One Tiny Step
Monday, April 22, 2013 through Wednesday, April 24, 2013
Still failing, except today got off to a good start. Monday and Tuesday were more fail, no exercise and all McFood and/or pizza plus chips or something.
Wednesday:
Breakfast: Yogurt, coffee
Lunch: 2 Spicy McChickens, large fries (oops)
Dinner:
Exercise: Hey, a walk! It really felt foreign it has been sooooo long. Short loop, pedometer said 2.33 miles in 45 minutes. Knees cranky, felt fat (am fat), ruled out jogging quickly.

Still Failing To Relaunch
Wednesday, April 17 - Sunday, April 21, 2013
Still failing. Really rough day on Friday, carried over into the weekend.
Still eating like crap and not exercising. Haven't weighed. It will be ugly.

Let's Try This Again
Tuesday, April 16, 2013
Okay. As mentioned in prior post, I'm writing this mid-day even before I get back on the horse. Oh, logically I should start right this second, but instead I'm going to be realistic. Lunch will be rushed again -- I'm severely out of whack that part of the day -- and I didn't have energy to exercise this morning.
So instead I am going to hope to get started with some modest accomplishments this evening - a sound dinner, probably some beans and turkey or bacon and eggs, then clean up and get set up for tomorrow. Set out clothes. I know lunch tomorrow will be more normal, so I have hopes for an entire day of being good to get the ball rolling.
Time to amp up the want and to turn it into action.
Breakfast: McDonalds bacon egg & cheese biscuit, 2 sausage burritos, coffee
Lunch: I forget, but it was fast
Dinner: Forget, but it was undoubtedly pizza
Exercise: None.

Not Just Fall Off
Tuesday, April 9, 2013 through Monday, April 15, 2013
This might have been the single worst week of my life in terms of diet and exercise. No exercise, which is not unusual. Non-stop binge eating. Working until midnight every night. No sleep. Gained a significant amount of weight though I don't know exactly how much b/c I haven't weighed.
I feel like crap and deservedly so. Time to regain control. As I write this (on Tuesday morning), I had hoped to get rebooted first thing. Instead I was up well past midnight working last night and I just cannot get up before dawn to exercise under those circumstances. So I had a crap breakfast and I'm hoping to get started with a good meal this evening.
Did not track specifics but pretty much every day began with a mcbreakfast, some kind of rushed fast food lunch, pizza for dinner, chips and dip when snacking and lots of them. The only positive is no sugar.

Dinner: Forgot what it was specifically, see next post
Exercise: None. Schedule totally out of wack, major sleep deficit, endless stress. This week is going to suck even though I really really do want to get on track.

I actually got up early, was organized and plowed through a bunch of stuff. A day that turned out better than expected. Of course I was up until 2:00 and left at 6:00, but whatever.
Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner: Again, don't really remember. I think it was same deal, a couple of sausage burritos and coffee for breakfast, taco bell chicken burritos for lunch and a pizza for dinner, chips and onion dip for a snack.
Exercise: I believe that I got in an abbreviated walk.

Thursday, March 28, 2013
Yergh. Never going to be ready to leave on vacation on Saturday.
Breakfast: McD bacon egg and cheese biscuit, 2 sausage burritos, coffee
Lunch /Dinner / Snack: To be honest, I don't even remember. I think it was a couple spicy McChickens for lunch, pizza for dinner and chips and onion dip for a snack. This is why I need to do this daily, not a week later.
Exercise: At least I made myself get out of bed (on < 4 hours as usual) and get in an abbreviated walk before going back to work. 1.5 miles in 29 minutes according to the pedometer ... I really should double check my stride length.

Snack: Chips and onion dip
Exercise: Abbreviated walk, clocked in at 1.4 miles in 26 minutes.
At least it was something. Felt good.

Possible Corrective Step(s)
Saturday, March 23, 2013
Not off to a world-beating start this morning, but at least I'm functional. At least so far. Between the bad eating and the erratic, limited sleep I am way, way off in the mornings. I finally conceded that I should change my alarm time - moved it a half hour later to see if it would help. I was able to get up but didn't do anything, ended up dozing for quite a long time. So no exercise again this morning. Is problem.
Breakfast: Yogurt, coffee
Had to get coffee from McDonalds, resisted any temptation to order food. Positive sign for the day.
Lunch: Bowl of homemade vegetable beef soup, a couple ounces Meijer deli turkey
This was good.
Dinner: Taco salad, spicy pork. Lots of hot sauce.
Continuing with the old school theme
Snack: 2 servings of frozen leftover oatcakes
Also: a glass of Concannon pinot noir. Not the fullest bodied wine I've ever had, but not bad.
Exercise: None. Got up and dozed. FAIL.
I will be so, so glad when things slow back down at work. This is just crazy.

Wondering About Allergens
Thursday, March 21, 2013
Woke up this morning with major sinus blockage and a pounding headache, which I usually associate with oxygen deficiency. Starting to wonder if I might have specific food intolerances - perhaps in addition to allergies to dust etc - that cause this sort of thing.
Anyway, another day, another opportunity to get back on track. I'm hopeful that things will be a bit more normal today - have a good menu picked out. I pulled some fresh stuff out of the freezer for tomorrow. I might have to find the time to do some cooking this weekend, but we'll see about that.
It's so easy to get complacent when some things are going well in your life, you know?
Breakfast: Yogurt, coffee
Lunch: 3 egg omelet with bacon, cream cheese and avocado; sausage; coffee
Dinner: Little Caesars pepperoni pizza, chips and onion dip
Exercise: None. Winter hanging on with a vengeance and lack of sleep killing me. Still haven't figured out a way to merge the personal life need to stay up late with the exercise need of getting up early. Starting to get very, very nervous about my prospects of completing that 5k in May ... since I haven't done a damned thing this week exercise-wise

Surreal Days
Wednesday, March 20, 2013
I'm having a hard time putting into words what things have been like lately. I'm both happy and completely, utterly screwed up. Have gained weight eating like this, not sleeping and not exercising.
Breakfast: Yogurt
Lunch: None
Dinner: 2 spicy McChickens
2nd Dinner: 3 Taco bell chicken buritos, chips and onion dip
Got completely carried away, but not terribly surprising after not eating for ~ 11 hours.
Exercise: None. Again. Argh.

Needing Seriousness
Tuesday, March 19, 2013
I haven't checked lately but I'm pretty sure that I'm putting weight back on at an alarming rate what with the awful, awful eating and lack of exercise. I need to put a stop to it. No garbage the rest of the day would be a good start. Not looking promising for exercise later, it is miserable out there.
Breakfast: 2 McDonalds sausage burritos, coffee
Hopefully that's enough mcfood for a while. I got up super late after another long evening. In a way I almost wish to have my time be my own again, but instead I need to simply tinker with the schedule, be more efficient at work and enjoy the happy personal stuff.
Lunch: None
Dinner: Pizza Hut thin crust pepperoni, bacon, onion pizza
Exercise: None
Pondering whether I can reboot the C25k program somewhere in the middle - I have just over 6 weeks to regain form and make additional strides, and I'll be gone on vacation and not jogging for a week of that. Yikes.

Fun But Flabby
Friday, March 15, 2013
Having a good stretch in personal life, unfortunately it's been paired with total FAIL with regard to the plan. I hope to get refocused tomorrow. Yeesh.
Breakfast: Yogurt, coffee
At least this part is consistent.
Lunch: 2 spicy McChickens
Snack: 2 spicy McChickens
Dinner: Deluxe pizza, chips and onion dip
Exercise: None. Should have gone, I could have dragged myself out there. It's supposed to snow tonight so tomorrow morning is looking a little dicey.

A Curious Case of Fog
Thursday, March 14, 2013
I had a very, very difficult time getting out of bed this morning. In fact, I didn't. Snoozed repeatedly until I finally had to get up. Uncomfortable, unproductive sleep. I attribute some of it to my screwed up schedule - I didn't go to bed until after 12:30 - and some of it to dietary reasons. Some of it perhaps to the increasingly irregular exercise. And there is always work-related stress.
Add it up and you get morning brain fog. It's been a while since I woke up exhausted & with a headache and I'd just as soon not have that happen again any time soon, thanks.
Breakfast: Yogurt, coffee
Lunch: 3 egg omelet w bacon, cream cheese & avocado; sausage; coffee
Dinner: 3 Taco Bell chicken burritos, chips and onion dip
Exercise: None. As mentioned, could not get out of bed. I don't know if I can get back on schedule - have some other stuff going on in life that is preventing me from going to bed early like I should.

What a Wednesday
Wednesday, March 13, 2013
For reasons which will not be discussed, today is memorable.
Breakfast: Yogurt, coffee
Lunch: None
Dinner: 1/2 of a deluxe pizza, salad w/ italian dressing, ~ 24 oz miller lite.
Went out for dinner unexpectedly. Absolutely one of my favorite meals, even if I do eat way too much and feel a bit lousy afterward b/c of all the starch.
Exercise: I got up a bit late but did get out and jog. Slowly. It was icy, so I was very cautious. Different route, axed the extra warmup due to time constraints, the pedometer said I covered just under 2 miles in my 30 minutes. Sounds about right. I don't have that extra gear yet, though I felt surprisingly decent.
