Exercise: Nope.

T Minus ~ 2 days
Bah. More snow than expected, with a nice layer of ice too. Delayed getting off to work so I have time to sit here and post.
Breakfast: Onion roll with deli turkey, american cheese and mustard. Coffee.
Edible. No picture, didn't bother. I think I took one yesterday and it's the exact same thing. I'll definitely need to not continue with this.
Lunch: Qdoba, the usual bowl. With chips.
Dinner: Can't remember, it may have just been chips and onion dip with lemonade. Yeah.
Exercise: 45 minutes legs and core

About To Get Iced Up
Monday, December 28, 2015
T minus about 3 days
Not too high stress for a Monday but I'm still not excited about being at work. Oh well. To add to the fun there is a forecast of freezing rain, that is going to suck.
Breakfast: Deli turkey and american cheese on an onion roll, coffee
Lunch: McDonalds 2 cheeseburger meal with Hi-C orange, sausage McMuffin ($6.66)
Dinner: Pizza rolls, chips and onion dip, caramel corn, brownie with ice cream
All kinds of garbage. Still have supplies, probably will need to make myself throw some things away. That won't be easy.
Exercise: Nope.

Still Charging, Battery Life Not Yet Determined
Sunday, December 27, 2015
~ T-4 Days
Ahhh. Yesterday was so needed. And I'm not planning on doing too much today, either. I just need to recharge. More sleep would be a good idea -- I stayed up way too late last night -- but I'm not dragging at least not yet.
I have planned out 3 days of meals, going to try to ease into the more regular eating routine in advance of the new year. Of course going by the new year is stupid (and I usually pick January 2 to start any resolutions anyway) but whatever. I'm too cheap to just toss my junk food supplies. It's a failing.
Breakfast: 2 CF eggs fried in a bit of butter, 5 Meijer frozen precooked sausage patties, a small quantity of Alexia hash browns fried in butter, coffee
The sausage patties aren't the greatest but they're okay. Of course they're not just pork and spices, but that's big food for you.
Lunch: 2 grilled cheese sandwiches (white bread, american cheese), can of Chunky Sirloin Burger soup, lemonade
Dinner: Chicken breast, 1.5 ears corn on the cob with butter, a little pineapple and 2 strawberries. Brownies and ice cream for dessert. No photos.
Exercise: Nope. Lazy day.

Holiday Love
Saturday, December 26, 2015
Day Minus 5 or so
It's after 1:00 and I haven't left the house yet. And I love it. After two very busy days of holiday rushing it has been so nice to just kick back, putter and get some things done that needed doing. Still plenty more to do this afternoon -- some dishes, some cleaning, some laundry -- but I have time to tackle them. It's glorious. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good holiday party but there needs to be balance.
Anyway, when you aren't paying attention the holidays result in serious overeating. I'm not sure I can even begin to summarize the binge eating, but there has been a bunch. The reckoning, also known as another serious attempt to fix things, is coming very soon.
Breakfast: 2 eggs fried in butter, 5 strips Meijer bacon pan fried, Alexia hash browns fried in butter, coffee.
I didn't take a picture, but it was the usual. When it's that good, why change, right? I know I should cut out the potatoes, but I am thinking that if I measure and keep it (more) modest I may not eliminate them entirely since I only eat them at home on weekends.
Lunch: 2 grilled cheese sandwiches (white bread, american cheese, fried in butter), can of Chunky Chicken Pot Pie soup, Newman's Own lemonade.
Using some stuff up. The bread and cheese were leftovers from various cooking projects, the soup an impulse buy. It's so hard to beat a really great grilled cheese.
Dinner: Leftover spiral ham, mashed potatoes, carrots, 2 potato rolls with butter, pecan pie with vanilla ice cream.
No photo. Lots of yum. And way, way too much.
Exercise: Nope.
And now, in summary and approximate fashion...
Friday, December 25, 2015
B: Sausage strata, 1/2 grapefruit, banana nut and pumpkin breads with butter, pecan coffee cake, coffee, small orange juice
L: Cheese and crackers, bar cheese
D: Spiral ham, a little turkey, potato rolls with butter, mashed potatoes, carrots, pecan pie with vanilla ice cream, crepe with berry sauce, christmas cookie, a couple pieces of chocolate and a few mixed nuts, 12 oz Labatts blue light, Newman's Own lemonade, decaf coffee
Whew!
Ex: About an hour of golf, walking, plus a bunch of moving around that doesn't count.
Thursday, December 24, 2015
B: 2 eggs fried in butter, hash browns in butter, bacon, coffee
L: Sausage and pepperoni stromboli slices w pizza sauce, crackers and cheese, bar cheese, carrots and ranch, cookies, chocolates, nuts, oh heck I dunno there was more, ate way too much. Peanut M&Ms.
D: Beef tenderloin, french bread w cheese fondue, romaine salad w ranch, 1 glass red wine
Ex: Nope.
Feasted.
I'm not going to try and recreate the previous week, just assume the worst. Lots of Qdoba.

Unexpected Recall
Wednesday, December 16, 2015
I realized this week that for many of the meals I can't remember, if I ate out I would have saved the receipt since I try to track spending. So I don't really have an excuse there...
B: Saltines with american cheese, coffee
Not really sticking to the ribs. I'll probably eat something else.
L: 3 cheeseburgers, 2 small fries. It was dollar day. And I'm a pig.
Snack: Slice of red velvet cake. Someone brought in as a holiday treat.
D: 2 grilled cheese sandwiches (1 with salami too), chips and guac, small glass of lemonade, a couple scoops of ice cream later
Ex: Nope.

B Loaf
Sunday, December 13, 2015
This weekend will go down as far too short. But so it goes. I finally crashed by 10 last night and slept in this morning. All that walking yesterday will do that.
Breakfast: Breakfast boat, coffee
I decided to try a recipe (concept anyway) from facebook. I winged all the quantities - 2 eggs, a splash of whole milk, 3 strips bacon cooked and crumbled, shredded cheddar and a green onion (green part) mixed up and baked in a hollow-ed out demi baguette. The store only had the multi-grain kind left yesterday so I went with that. 25 minutes at 350. Turned out quite tasty, I especially enjoyed the flavor added by the bit of green onion. It wasn't life changing or anything but it was different and pretty good.
Lunch: 2 hot dogs with bun, chips, salad with ranch, canned peaches. White cake with vanilla ice cream
Birthday party.
Dinner: Sausage stromboli
Made something new. It was quite good. Super calorific though.
Exercise: Nope

That's A Hike
Saturday, December 12, 2015
Phew. After a brutally long week, a breather. Of course I didn't get enough done, not close. But it was a good day none the less. Not in terms of eating - I ate terribly and spent too much money. But I got out and moved, got some fresh air and enjoyed a december round of golf.
Breakfast: A big slab of breakfast lasagna, a few hash browns, coffee. 2 donuts a bit later. ($9.95 + $1.90)
I was going to get huevos rancheros at a place, but they were too busy so I kept walking to another place where this was the special. So good.
"Lunch": Kit kat bar, later 12 oz Miller Lite ($7.00)
Dinner: Qdoba burrito bowl with tequila lime chicken (no chips) ($8.27)
I was pretty hungry and forgot to take a picture. This was a fantastic (and calorie packed) bowl -- half and half on the rice, pinto beans, chicken, both quesos, cheese, sour cream and a big whack of guac. So good.
Dessert: a couple of scoops of ice cream
Dean's Fannie Mae Mint Meltaway, the cadillac of grocery store non-super premium ice creams. On sale this week, doh.
Exercise: Oh yes. I walked to and from breakfast, about 8 blocks each way. 18 holes with cart. And then I walked around the grocery store a bunch lugged in some supplies. I was very, very tired by 7:00 pm.

Slammed
Friday, December 11, 2015 back to Monday, December 7, 2015
Honestly, I didn't keep good track. I did finally get my car back but I didn't have time to get to the grocery store or do any meaningful meal prep so there were a lot of meals out.
Hopefully that will be less of an issue this coming week.

A Most Lovely December Day
Sunday, December 6, 2015
Yesterday wasn't quite as warm as predicted but still very nice. I am hoping for more sunshine today and maybe a couple more degrees of warmth. Not complaining in any way, I'm thrilled to have the snow and cold of winter pushed back. Golf >>> shoveling.
Breakfast: 2 CF eggs fried in butter, 3 Meijer pre-cooked frozen sausage patties, Alexia hash browns in butter, coffee
A fabulous breakfast as always. Out of bacon so I went sausage from the freezer - picked up a box to try a couple weeks ago. It's not bad, but also not great. I'd really like to find some thinner patties -- a now-closed diner nearby used to serve great thin and slightly crisp patties.
Lunch: Leftover sous vide chicken breast, leftover stove top stuffing reheated in a bit of butter and chicken stock, 4 corn tortillas, hot sauce, a bit of avocado dressing
Mad scientist plus clean out the fridge time. To do something different with the last of the leftover chicken and stuffing I made them into tacos. It worked okay but holy carb overload. I tried one with dressing instead of hot sauce but preferred the hot sauce as a condiment.
Snack: Kit Kat bar
Dinner: Hamburger with ketchup, mustard and pickles, chips, tortilla chips, salad with ranch, a couple small sugar cookies
Exercise: 18 holes with cart. Brr.

Long Long Week
Saturday, December 5, 2015
It was a very long week. Lots of work, intense and I had no vehicle. Not good times.
But it's over. It's a beautiful December weekend and I'm thrilled to be able to get outside and enjoy it. Lots of time this morning to get a jump on the laundry, fix a nice breakfast and clean up. Sure I have a million things to do but oh well. I've earned a break.
Breakfast: 2 CF eggs fried in butter, 4 strips CF garlic pepper bacon, Alexia hash browns in butter, coffee
Pretty standard weekend breakfast. I was going to try a recipe I found online for a breakfast bread boat, but no chance to get to the store. So maybe I'll try that next weekend.
"Lunch": I didn't really have lunch. Had a Kit Kat bar (yeah, I know) while golfing and 24 oz Miller Lite afterward. Also had a sleeve of saltines.
Dinner: A big ol' brisket burrito plus chips and guac from a local tex-mex place.
I was too hungry to take a picture. Yeah, that's my story. Delicious.
Dessert: A couple of scoops of Country Fresh triple vanilla ice cream.
Finished off a carton, it was a very modest quantity. If I only ate that much, I could keep ice cream on hand all the time.
Exercise: 18 holes with cart. Felt pretty decent.
Money Spent: About $13.00 for dinner.

So That Obstacle...
Sunday, November 29, 2015
The obstacles to my getting back on track are, of course, largely in my head. It does not help at all that I have been sleeping poorly. Some sinus issues, which thankfully aren't too awful at the moment, but mostly the interrupted sleep of someone who is too fat. I could get tested for sleep apnea again ... or I could just fight through it and lose the weight. Seriously, I used to sleep the sleep of the dead, would black out and then wake up. What I'm getting now sure isn't refreshing.
Anyway, the head thing. I have a hard time not eating the junk I have purchased when I really should be able to let it go. I have a fair amount of said junk. I'll probably eat some of it today, but it really is time to kick it into gear.
Breakfast: Entemann's frosted donuts and a glass of whole milk
Slept in and didn't have the kitchen cleaned up since I'm still playing holiday catchup. That's number one on my to do list for today.
Lunch: 3 Koegel's vienna franks on pretzel dog buns with mustard, ketchup and celery salt
Snack: Chips and onion dip, 2 mini Snickers bars
Dinner: Tacos, and lots of them. Some doritos. Chips and salsa, a slice of banana bread
Exercise: Nope.
Money Spent: None.

A Game Day
Saturday, November 28, 2015
Long day. Traveled to a college football game.
Breakfast: Cracker Barrel sunrise sampler minus the hash brown casserole, coffee
The hash brown casserole was vile, even when they brought me a second piece. The rest of it was mediocre at best. Easily the worst breakfast I have ever had at Cracker Barrel.
Lunch: None. Had a couple fun sized Snickers and 3 Muskateers bars while in traffic after the game
Dinner: Steak n Shake double with cheese, fries, chocolate shake
Other: A bunch of lemon Oreos with a glass of whole milk
Exercise: Lots. Several miles of walking, stadium stairs. Calories were burned. Felt good man.
Money spent: About $6.00 in tips etc. Guesting.

Avoiding BF Like a Boss
Friday, November 27, 2015
Slept in. Sleep schedule is definitely wonky. There are some things I need to adjust and that's very high on the list. Physically feel decent (other than being heavy right now) and I tend to have headaches in the morning when I wake up which I assume is low oxygen. Another thing that will improve if I get it back together.
Lots to do today, but probably not including any Black Friday shopping. Instead, kitchen cleanup, laundry and that sort of thing will be featured prominently.
Breakfast: 2 CF eggs fried in a bit of butter, 3 strips CF garlic pepper bacon, a smaller amount of Alexia hash browns in butter, 1 slice american cheese, coffee, 2 Entemanns chocolate frosted donuts.
Those donuts. Terrible for you but like crack. And I didn't resist when I saw they were $1.99 this week. Derp.
Lunch: McDonald's McDouble and small fries
Just hungry enough to need something. And I did go out shopping in the afternoon.
Dinner: Leftover turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry, crescent rolls with butter. Cocount cream pie and a pecan bar.
Yum.
Also: A few jalapeno Krunchers chips. Bag pretty much gone which is good.
Exercise: Nope, unless you count walking around the stores.
Money Spent: $2.12

Giving Thanks
Thursday, November 26, 2015
Thanksgiving Day
I'm grateful today for the abundance that has permitted me to be (very) fat and (mostly) happy. To have never known hunger and barely deprivation is a blessing beyond compare. To say that I am fortunate is to understate things to the nth degree. I am thankful.
I am also privileged to be able to do something about things which are less than ideal. So I really should take another crack at fixing my habits, diet and exercise, so that I can feel better and live longer.
It just won't be today. Or for that matter tomorrow or the rest of the weekend. Doggone these feast holidays.
Breakfast: 2 CF eggs fried in a bit of butter, 4 strips CF garlic pepper bacon, Alexia hash browns fried in butter, coffee, Entemann's frosted chocolate donuts
Lunch: Turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, squash, green bean casserole, crescent rolls, cranberry, fruit salad, mac and cheese, 1/2 of a Bell's winter white beer, pecan bar, coconut cream pie, lemon pie, apple pie, cheesecake.
Whew. I think that's everything.
"Dinner": A couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream with Entemann's donuts
Exercise: Nope
Money spent: $0.00

Not So Much Cash Money
Monday, November 16, 2015
I forgot that I was keeping track of how much I spend on food, so I can start adding that in again too. It's a nice reminder that I need to pay attention. If I mostly eat at home, it's not bad.
Breakfast: Turkey and american cheese sandwich on Koepplinger's Healthy Grains (lol) bread with some butter/olive oil spread, coffee
I will say this, a sandwich is a fast and cheap breakfast. Now if it was only good for me.
Lunch: Leftover macaroni and cheese with 2 slices of leftover bacon added, some Lays potato chips
The mac and cheese really turned out quite well, though this is far more than I needed to eat. Next time, if there is one, I'll portion it out better. I think there will be kind of a next time, I think I'll make it for Thanksgiving.
Dinner:
Exercise: Nope. I almost dragged myself out of bed this morning, but almost doesn't count for much of anything.

Almost Back, Maybe?
Sunday, November 15, 2015
It has been a bumpy year. Two moves later I am finally settled in to my new home and am in a position to start thinking about getting serious about self-improvement again. Six months of eating nearly every single meal out (or via drive thru) produced predictable results. And it was expensive.
This past week I finally came close to my target budget for a week's worth of food, $100. That's a very generous budget for one person, and since I rarely go out for dinner or drinks it should be easily managed. I'm not there yet but last week I finally started passing up easier options to come home and eat something on hand. So progress. It's still way too carb-heavy, but that should improve over time -- excluding Thanksgiving of course.
My scale is still packed away in storage somewhere, not sure when I'll be able to fish it out.
For practice, here is today's LOL diet:
Breakfast: 2 eggs fried in a little butter, 2 Bob Evans pre-cooked sausage patties, some Alexia hash browns cooked in butter, coffee
Snack: Chocolate frosted donut, glass of whole milk
Lunch: Leftover homemade macaroni and cheese
Snack: Snickers bar
Dinner: Chuck roast with gravy, 4 cheese mashed potatoes, carrots, roll with butter, canned peaches
Also: Cheez Kurls (yeah, no idea), glass of lemonade
Exercise: 18 holes with cart
Holy cow that was a lot of food. I don't even want to think how many calories.

Additional Fail

Sigh. Bad eating, bad everything. At least I got in a lovely nap this afternoon. More of the same tomorrow I am afraid, I have a birthday party to attend.
Breakfast: 2 eggs over medium, bacon, hash browns, 2 slices raisin toast, coffee ($18.44 for 2 incl tip)
This place doesn't go crazy, so the hash browns aren't over the top. It was okay.
Lunch: Reuben panini, french fries, ketchup, 12 oz Miller Lite ($3.00 for tip)
Same, no crazy quantities.
Dinner: English muffin with cream cheese, 12 oz Shiner Bock
Beer, it's what's for dinner. Cleaning out the fridge some.
Exercise: 18 holes with cart, lots of hiking

Okay.

Canceled With Regret
Thursday, June 11, 2015
Frustrating day. I had a meeting run way long, resulting in cancellation of my scheduled workout. Not good. At least tomorrow is Friday, I think I will crash early tonight.
Breakfast: 2 slices sharp cheddar, large Tim Hortons coffee ($1.91)
Lunch: Salad ($5.93)
I remembered to take a picture after I had already eaten the cottage cheese. Otherwise, just your basic salad, though I got breaded chicken bites instead of ham cubes.
Dinner: Qdoba burrito bowl ($8.90)
The usual assortment of stuff. The girl making it took my 'light cheese' very literally for once, but I more than made up for it in the queso department...
Edit: Hungry tonight, no idea why. Gong to add some greek yogurt to the totals. (on hand ldo)
Exercise: Nope. Argh.
Total Spent: $16.74. Too much.

Heavily Breaded
Wednesday, June 10, 2015
I guess today has been okay. On the plus side I got a wonderful night of sleep, about 8 hours. Felt pretty good this morning. On the negative, I am not terribly inspired especially with work and to exercise. Oh well, I guess it doesn't all come easy.
Breakfast: 2 slices sharp cheddar, large McDonalds coffee ($1.79)
Had the coffee mid-morning for a change, still tasted good.
Lunch: Omelet with andouille sausage, green pepper, onion and creole sauce, coffee ($9.95 incl tip)
Pretty standard and quite tasty. Now if I can just convince them to make me a breakfast bowl.
Dinner: English muffin with veggie cream cheese, 3 breaded fish filets, some avocado, a slug of V-8, greek yogurt (all on hand)
Not everything is pictured, obviously. I ate the muffin while waiting for the fish -- I had planned to have salad but of course the salad mix I opened this weekend was no longer edible. I ate maybe half of the avocado, it really wasn't ripe all the way through. The fish was delicious but had too much breading. I wonder if there is a "lightly breaded" version available. And I had yogurt for dessert.
Too much starch. I need to get over my dislike of going to the grocery store and get more fresh veggies. I could have made some canned green beans or something, but I didn't. Again, oh well.
Exercise: Nope. Should have!
Total spent: $11.74. Not too bad.

Versus Buffet Take Two?
Tuesday, June 9, 2015
Another day. Posting this a day behind because I forgot to bring my computer home. Oops.
I was looking forward to the dinner buffet tonight because it said it was a gyro buffet. I love gyros. And in the end ... it was just chicken gyros. Boo. Total false advertising. I passed and ate at home.
Breakfast: 2 slices sharp cheddar, large McDonalds coffee ($1.79)
Lunch: Salad ($6.05)
Pre-golf: English muffin with veggie cream cheese (on hand)
Golf: 48 oz Miller Lite ($14.00)
Dinner: Ham/salami sandwich with mustard on sourdough, 1/2 dill pickle, Greek Gods yogurt with raspberry spread. (on hand)
Exercise: 45 minutes mostly core, 9 holes with cart
Total spent: $21.84, a lot but not bad for a golf day.

Sweet Sleep
Monday, June 8, 2015
Ohh, nice. Finally a good night of sleep. I did NOT want to get up this morning. No cramps, no discomfort of any kind, just solid, solid sleep. It was beautiful. Let's see if it continues ... I will not be drinking wine for the time being, I will say that!
Anyway, off to a slow start. Lots to do today but not much enthusiasm. Hopefully it kicks up a couple of notches!
Breakfast: 2 slices sharp cheddar, large Tim Hortons coffee ($1.91).
I forgot to set up the coffee maker and didn't feel like doing it this morning. Oh well.
Lunch: Salad ($6.18).
Late and on the road, stopped at a grocery chain and made a salad. This may become a regular feature. It's not cheap but it's not awful, either - restaurant prices are definitely higher...
Dinner: 4 tacos - 3 mexican style with cheese, 1 american style ($5.30)
Taco Monday. I justify it by noting that I went back to work for a couple hours after picking these up and I didn't get home until after 8:00. A bit much but quite tasty.
Exercise: Nope. Regrettably not. Going to try and get up earlier tomorrow, it would be huge to get a walk in and get that sleep schedule fixed up.
Total Spent: $13.39. I note that I was ~ $50 too high last week, need to cut the coffee and either eat out less or put less food in the fridge. Or both!
