Unbalance In Electrolytes Or Something

Monday, May 6, 2019

Ugh.  Serious leg and foot cramping, starting not that long after I went to sleep.  I think I had to get up three times.   Needless to say I am not rested and ready for the week.  I did a few minutes of cursory research and as expected there isn't much of an answer as to what causes the cramps nor is there an easy answer as to how to get rid of them.  Causes included dehydration, excessive exercise, standing on a concrete floor and "improper sitting" whatever the hell that is.  I'd prefer to avoid buying and taking supplements but I'm sure I would if I thought it would solve the problem.

Breakfast:  Fage 5% Yogurt, coffee

Grabbed the only portable thing that required zero time.  Being so tired and sleeping so poorly made me push it timewise.

Lunch:  Brisket chili, potato chips

The chili was glorious, really it's what I've been looking for.  I might try making a version that's half brisket and half chuck (or even ground beef) to keep the cost down a bit, but it's worth it.  Cleaned up last night's chips, it may be that they did not help with the legs.

Dinner:  4 ground beef tacos, mexican style, add cheese and hot sauce

Good as always.  Hungry, so I destroyed them.  Will probably have one of those NSA rice pudding cups too.

Exercise:  Nope.  Dragging.

Ingredient Spread

Sunday, May 5, 2019

Ahhh.  Good weekend so far.  Accomplished nil last night.  Have a bunch of weekly tasks queued up and hopefully some golf this afternoon.  In the meantime, I spread out all kinds of ingredients for a couple of morning cooking projects while waiting for my bacon to cook.  Happy times.

Breakfast:  4 strips Oscar Meyer "thick cut" bacon, coffee

I guess it's thick cut in a sense that it didn't disintegrate when I cooked it, but it's not thick like the Wright stuff.  Still, is bacon.  And I have five slices left for breakfasts!

Lunch:  2 smoked beef and cheddar sausage links, a cup of homemade brisket chili

The chili was this morning's cooking project.  I saved a chunk from the smoked brisket I bought yesterday for one more meal and diced up the rest to put into the chili.  In hindsight I should have just used it all since I dunno when I'm going to eat that chunk - forgot about some things on the calendar this week.

Bonus photos:

No beans or corn in that chili thanks.

Dinner:  Chuck roast with a bit of mashed potato, a couple of carrots, gravy

Pretty good roast.  Trying to be polite by taking a little of other stuff, I could just skip it I guess.

Also:  Chips and onion dip. 

Almost made it.  Doh.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, LOTS of extra walking.  Had some cart issues which meant I walked a lot.  Wish I'd had my pedometer.

The Difference of Pounds

Saturday, May 4, 2019

Happy Saturday.  Not going to be too full of accomplishments as most of the day has already been consumed by golf, but maybe I'll zip through some laundry and stuff.  I did get a lot of cleaning done last weekend so at least I'm in pretty good shape there.

Speaking of pretty good shape, losing a few pounds definitely provided a bit of a boost to my struggling golf game.  And it was just more pleasant being out there when I have some pep.  Not even super tired afterward, just a small bit of heel pain as the only negative.  Good times.

Breakfast:  ~ 2 oz Armour hard salami, coffee

Cleaned up the last of the salami, pleased to get 4 servings out of 0.38 pound.  And it was all I really needed - I didn't have any trouble staying away from the hot dogs and snacks at the golf course.

After golf:  12 oz Miller Lite

"Lunch":  A piece of smoked brisket, 2 beef and cheddar smoked sausages

Stopped at a barbecue place on the way home and picked up some supplies.  Sampled it when I got home -- can you really call it lunch if you eat between 4 and 4:30? - and YUM.  So good I had a 2nd sausage.  I got a (generous) pound of each and have 2 sausages and lots of brisket left for the next couple days.  First time I've been to this place and I immediately wish it was closer.

Dinner:  Pizza with pepperoni and jalapeno

I'm sure there will be weeks when I don't have pizza.  This was not one of them.

Homemade pie, baking steel 72 hour pizza dough crust, organic jar sauce kicked up with some garlic and crushed red pepper, italian seasoning, pepperoni, mozz/provolone blend and a jalapeno.  Nice and spicy, turned out great.  And you know what?  It was easy.  Waiting was the hardest part.

Exercise:  18 holes with cart.  Not a ton of extra walking,  Will be working on that.

The Joys of Cooking For One

Friday, May 3, 2019

Another week in the books.  Not quite as wiped out as I have been recently, though I do hope to work on the sleep schedule some this weekend.

Breakfast:  ~ 2 oz salami, coffee (later)

Pretty standard stuff, as a quick breakfast it works.

Lunch:  McDonald's double QPC, plain, no bun.

Lost a lot of cheese to the bun but oh well.  Not super hungry at any point today which was nice.  I prefer Culvers and Wendys but hey, I had a coupon.

Dinner:  Taco Salad

Same as last night, just with less lettuce, more beef and way more beans.  Too much, actually, as I couldn't finish it.  I think it really would work out better to divide the stuff into three meals, I just don't know how well I can lock myself into three nights in a row.  The joys of solo cooking.

I bought a package of the NSA rice pudding cups I used to like last week, maybe I'll have one of those later.

Exercise:  Nope

130.6

Cue. Cue'd.

Thursday, May 2, 2019

The sleep schedule very much needs adjustment.  Up too late, making for a serious urge to sleep in and repeated whacking of the snooze button.  It's not good.

Breakfast:  ~ 2 oz Armour hard salami, coffee (later)

I don't think either of my servings has been 2 oz since I bought 0.38lb and I'm not yet halfway through but whatever.

Lunch:  Smoked brisket, spicy texas chili, a bite of a corn cake.

Decided to hit up a not-too-local BBQ place for lunch.  Plate comes with one side and I was pleased that the chili was an option - sure it had corn and a few beans but plenty of meat and nice heat.  Most places just offer starches.  I took a bite of the corn cake for posterity, too sweet for my taste.  I didn't use any of the BBQ sauce, figured it would be loaded with sugar and the meat didn't need it.  It was not dry at all (like brisket can be), flavorful and nice and fatty.  Value wasn't stellar but the more I think about it I'm ok -- $10 for a decent quantity of meat and a cup of chili isn't outrageous.

Dinner:  Taco Salad

My take on the infamous (and much missed) taco salad.  I haven't conjured up a recipe for spicy pork yet so it's just CF ground beef with homemade taco seasoning.  Lettuce, cilantro, onion, a couple T of spicy pinto beans, cheddar jack cheese (since I didn't have any mexican cheese), avocado, salsa and hot sauce.

Verdict:  Very tasty.  The beans and cilantro and onion (which in the past I wouldn't have bothered with) definitely make a difference.  I'll be having this again tomorrow night and I think this weekend I'm going to try making red sauce.

Exercise:  Nope.  To get going I may have to do evenings.  Yikes.

Resistance To Cooking Is Real

Wednesday, May 1, 2019

Hey, how about that.  A new month.

It's absolutely crazy that I've only been working on this for ten days, it feels like eons.  Maybe someday soon it will be actual eons.  Anyway, the last couple days I've been indecisive on lunch and dinner.  I managed to make myself eat stuff at home today for both meals, which is a good thing.  But if there were more really good options I probably wouldn't have.  

Breakfast:  Cottage cheese, coffee (later)

Cleaned up another carton.  Still an OK breakfast.

Lunch:  Spicy beans with bacon, cheddar jack cheese, ~ 2 oz Armour hard salami

Glad I had the salami, was a little worried about whether this was going to be enough.  Turns out I was pleasantly sated and it kept me going all afternoon.  I made a point of having more water at work too.

Dinner:  2 eggs scrambled with Spam, 1 large avocado.  Also, one small carton of Two Good mixed berry yogurt.

I ate about half of it.   I don't think this will be a meal I'll be repeating any time soon.  I picked up the yogurt last week mostly due to a coupon.  Didn't love it, apparently even stevia tastes artificial to me.  Then again I was seriously considering looking for a bottle of Orange Vanilla Coke Zero Sugar just to try it so I guess I'm just weird.

Tired, You Can Book It

Tuesday, April 30, 2019

Quite tired today.  My own fault, I stayed up way too late.  Read two books last evening which meant I crashed finally about 1:30.  Ugggh.  Why do I do stupid things.

Just now realized that it's the last day of the month.  Guess I should have been more motivated to eat better today.  Oops.

Breakfast:  Cottage cheese.  Coffee (later).

No picture today.  Same as yesterday.

Lumch:  Jimmy Johns Gargantuan unwich, add pickles and peppers

While this wasn't bad, I probably won't get it again soon.  Kinda messy, not the easiest thing to eat and I wasn't super impressed with how it stuck.  Oh, and it was expensive, too.

Dinner:  2 Arby's greek gyros minus the pitas, pork rinds

I was very hungry when I left work and was worried that I wouldn't have anything satisfying at home, so I went to Arbys.  It only hit me as I was getting ready to eat that the real issue was that I was dehydrated.  Didn't have much water today, only a few oz.  I usually have at least 20 during the day.  Two big glasses later I felt much more in control.

I still ate way too many pork rinds.  Doh.

Exercise:  Nope.  Another miserable day, plus tired.  So tired.

No Sir I Would Not Choose That Sanction

Monday, April 29, 2019

I expected to see a consequence on the scale for the weekend, particularly last night's chip and dip binge.  And I did, though I highly suspect the penalty will be temporary and just retained water.

On the other hand I did not expect to wake up multiple times with nasty leg cramps.  I've had on and off bouts of those over the last fifteen years but it had been a while and I certainly hadn't had any this ferocious in a long time.  I've read a fair amount about them and while there is a bunch of folk 'wisdom' out there it doesn't really seem that there is a lot of settled science.  I have been avoiding wine for quite a while after seeing a link between nights I had some and cramps but apparently it's not just sulfites.

Anyway, let's hope that doesn't repeat, it's hard to sleep!  I know I grumble a little about having to get up to go to the bathroom but apparently I shouldn't.

Breakfast:  Cottage cheese, coffee (later)

Quick and easy, which is important when you've got early business.  I did take the fifteen seconds required to take a photo ... just not the time to make sure it was a *good* photo.

Lunch:  Wendy's Dave's double, plain, no bun

Wasn't feeling super decisive, went with easy.  Lost a bunch of the cheese to the bun of course.

Dinner:  4 mexican style tacos plus cheese and hot sauce.  Also a handful of potato chips to clean up last night's binge

Really good tacos tonight.  Looked forward to them all afternoon, too.

Exercise:  Nope.  Multiple factors working against me today.  The cramps killed any hope of a good night's sleep.  The early work obligation meant I had to be out the door earlier than usual.  And it's raining.  Yuck.  Too bad, really, because I was definitely thinking a lot about how good walking is for me over the weekend.  The weather forecast for the week is pretty dismal, too.

Sunday Workday

Sunday, April 28, 2019

Thinking positive last night, somehow despite eating like a maniac for much of the last four months I'm not any heavier than I was a the start of the year.  Of course I was tremendously bloated at the start of the year, but at least anything gained subsequently was in the form of water and could be flushed.

Read back through some of the older archives and it was really interesting to me to remember how easy it was to eat the same thing nearly every day once I found things I really like.  I can't duplicate what I did -- the mexican place is long gone and my work has changed enough that I don't consistently have time for a sit down lunch.

Breakfast:  3 strips thick cut bacon, coffee

Count worked out perfectly, easy peasy too.

Lunch:  Spicy bacon beans with a couple ounces of leftover ribeye, cheddar jack cheese

Very tasty.  In hindsight I should have added all of the leftover steak.

Dinner:  A small portion of american ghoulash, extra ground beef, parmesan cheese, iceberg salad

Not too bad, but...

Snacks:  Cleaned up the pork rinds.  Also chips and onion dip after dinner. 

Seriously?  I just needed to eat more protein and fat at dinner.

Exercise:  Nope.  Active but not super active and nothing that fits.

Ahhhh with Many Repeats of H

Saturday, April 27, 2019

Yes indeed.  Grateful for the weekend and fine that it's on the chilly side - I'd like to play golf but I could really use the day to just do stuff.  Off to a fine start so far, hit Meijer and the farm.

I do think that pizza night on weeks that I make it at home -- hopefully most -- is going to move from the traditional Friday to Saturday.  I just don't like waiting and it takes a while to do it right.

Breakfast:  3 strips thick cut bacon, coffee

Baked up the rest of the bacon package I opened yesterday since it was past its "expiration" date, figure I'll use a couple slices for lunch and eat the rest tomorrow.

Lunch:  Homemade pizza with pepperoni and bacon

So good.  72 hour dough from the freezer that I made a while ago, sauce kicked up with garlic and red pepper, a sprinkle of parmesan, pepperoni, 2 slices of bacon and mozz/provolone blend.  About a zillion calories and many carbs but don't care.  Not that much anyway.

Dinner:  ~ 7 oz of a CF ribeye, cooked sous vide and finished in a bit of avocado oil, a few sauteed mushrooms and a tiny onion (butter, evoo and a splash of worciester sauce at the end).  A little Kumho avocado sauce.

Despite the photo -- this was really, really good.  I got a nice thick ribeye, just over a pound.  I'll have some left for tomorrow and Monday's lunches.  Picked up the sauce at the store and tried a little bit with a few bites of steak, pretty tasty. Will try it with a homemade taco salad soon.

Exercise:  Nope.  Actually getting close to feeling ready, which is nice.  Now if I can just get a good night's sleep and feel good in the morning.

Fried Day

Friday, April 26, 2019

Thank goodness for the end of the week.  A chance to rest, recharge and restock.  Which is pathetic since I didn't work particularly hard or anything.  No major stress.  Just a dietary change.  Weak.

Breakfast:  Coffee

A bit of a late start so I didn't scrounge anything up to eat.  I definitely need to have quick things on hand because I have zero patience in the morning, I want to get out the door.

Lunch:  Taco salad, no shell.  Extra sour cream, a little salsa.

From a local dive.  Not a bad salad, did have beans but no rice.

Snack:  Yoder's pork rinds

Occasionally these sound good.

Dinner:  2 eggs in butter, 5 strips thick applewood bacon, some Alexia hash browns in butter

The GOAT, though this wasn't my best effort.  Went very easy on the hash browns which resulted in them being quite crispy.  Oh well, still good.

Exercise:  Nope.

De-Gallonizing

Thursday, April 25, 2019

The water continues to depart.  It would be nice though if not so much of it left at 5 am.

After feeling a bit of a burst at the end of day 2 and into day 3 I'm back closer to normal.  Not much energy, bouts of fatigue.  Still a marked improvement though.  I was in bed for extra time last night but don't think I got much quality sleep.

Breakfast:  Cottage cheese, coffee (later)

The end of the carton.  I don't always love the stuff but there are times when I do.

Lunch:  2 Culvers double deluxes, no bun

Thank goodness for coupons.  My lunch cost a couple bucks less than my coworker who just got one burger and fries.

Dinner:  3 eggs with kielbasa and lots of cheddar jack cheese

Cleaned up the kielbasa.  This was edible.  I also threw in a bit of dehydrated onion.

Exercise:  Nope.  Not yet.

Steadyish State

Wednesday, April 24, 2019

Last night's dinner provided a nice stable level of energy well into the evening.  No post-dinner crash.  Felt pretty decent.  The downside was I did not get to bed until after 11:00 which will screw up my schedule for the rest of the week.

Breakfast:  Cottage cheese, coffee (later)

Lunch:  Qdoba brisket bowl, same as last time

My usual location.  They have started charging for guacamole so the cost spiked.  Sigh.

Dinner:  Kielbasa with yellow mustard, some mushrooms sauteed in butter, chicken bone broth (later)

That was too much kielbasa.  And I have some left for tonight.  The mushrooms were meh, probably needed to be cooked longer.  Oh well, that's what happens when you cobble together a meal based on whatever happens to be handy.

Exercise:  Nope.

Day Two Less Flu

Tuesday, April 23, 2019

Awful night of sleep.  Went to bed early, didn't fall asleep super quick.  And then I woke up constantly from 3:00 on.  Light headache, never super comfortable.  At least I cleared out much water.

On the positive side I have definitely felt better today.  Not great or anything, but better.  More food plus some coffee plus some of the bad stuff getting flushed is working.  Sugar is evil.

Breakfast:  Cottage cheese

I didn't measure or anything.  Had probably a third of a 2 cup container of Daisy.  I bought it because it was on sale and I'm glad I did.

Lunch:  McDouble, plain, no bun, coffee

Late morning stop for coffee, had some food too.  There isn't a ton of beef to a McDouble, but it is easy to eat - with one slice of cheese between the patties it doesn't stick to the bun.

Late Lunch:  Wendy's double, plain, no bun.  Also had a cup of coffee at work.

Decided to make sure I'm eating enough.  I think it was a good idea.

Dinner:  2 eggs, 7 oz Spam, 1 large avocado, can of Alta Palla sparking water

Spam scramble.  Small can, not the big honking one but this was a shade on the side of too much.  It wasn't bad.  And I continue to feel notably better here late in the day.  This is a good thing.

Exercise:  Nope.  Though it is nice to at least be able contemplate the possibility.

This Would Be An Ease In But

Monday, April 22, 2019

Yeesh.  I haven't had the keto flu much in previous trips to the low carb world.  Today I feel like 100% garbage, which I blame on having relapsed into drinking soda and also not having had any coffee today.  No sugar and no caffeine equals yikes.

Breakfast:  Chicken bone broth

I have a couple of boxes of Sams Choice organic so that's what I'll be consuming.  I think the lower salt version is actually better.

Lunch:  Qdoba brisket bowl

First in a while.  Went pintos, brisket, cheese, sour cream, hot salsa, guacamole and jalapeno.  Pretty skimpy but it wasn't my usual location.  I should have sprung for extra meat though the price was already higher than it used to be.

Dinner:  4 mexican style tacos, add cheese.  Hot sauce.

Better than average.  Price also went up on these but oh well.  Felt better after eating them (yeah carbs) and actually got a few things done.

Exercise:  Nope.  Not a chance on day 1.

About ****ing Time

Sunday, April 21, 2019

Happy Easter.

It's time.  Really time.  Vacation season is over.  The corresponding crush of work season is done. I'm so fat it's interfering with my golf game.  It's ****ing time.

Tomorrow.

Because nobody starts on a holiday.  At least nobody with any sense.

Vacation Interregnum

Monday, March 18, 2019

Returned from a long weekend away.   I was pleasantly surprised that I held up to 90 holes of golf over four days and wasn't too exhausted.  Lots of up and down too, this is not flat ground.  I would have liked to have had my pedometer but I forgot to bring it.  Especially pleased to feel decent throughout given how lousy I was feeling before leaving.

The eating was ... not so good.  But I didn't worry too much given the exercise.  I have two weeks before another brief vacation.  My expectations of fixing things beforehand are low.

Breakfast:  Slice of pizza, apple pie, rice krispie treat, Dr. Pepper

Yeah, your basic breakfast of champions.

Lunch:  McD Big Mac, fries, Dr Pepper, mcchicken, cheeseburger

And your lunch of champions.  Champions of obesity.

Dinner:  4 tacos mexican style plus cheese, will add an avocado if I have one

Blank Black Space

Monday, March 4, 2019

Waste of a day really.  Sleep was mediocre but not excuse-worthy.  I just could not get going and wasted so much time.  My only goal now is to go to bed as early as possible so I can try again tomorrow.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Only had one cup since my stomach wasn't too thrilled.

Lunch:  Jimmy Johns big italian sub, salt & vinegar chips, Dr. Pepper

Garbage lunch.  Couldn't even muster up enough pep to leave work to get food.

Exercise:  Nope.

Discomfitted

Sunday, March 3, 2019

Just a kid out there making up words.

Slept decently, felt OK this morning.  Certainly better than yesterday.  I still don't have a great deal of pep, really have not accomplished much.  I should have dragged myself into work for a few hours but that does not appear to be happening.

How bad do I have spring fever?  Still 10 days before a long weekend road trip ... and I could leave in an hour.  I made detailed lists.  Got out the suitcase and some other stuff.   I'm getting perilously close to doing things just because.

Breakfast:  2 eggs over medium, 6 strips bacon, hash browns, coffee

Standard GOAT preparation.  I didn't eat the avocado, the one bite I took just didn't taste right.  It was probably fine but no reason to chance anything.  Did the bacon in the oven, I still prefer stovetop.

Lunch:  Tortilla chips with Herdez guacamole salsa

Impulse buy yesterday after getting a recommendation.  It wasn't bad, but I won't buy again because of soybean oil being high on the list of ingredients.  No thanks, I need to get rid of that junk in my diet.

Dinner:  Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, cheesy beans, roll with butter

Hi I'm Insane:  10 pc McNuggets w/ S&S, cheeseburger, Dr Pepper, strawberry shake

Exercise:  Nope.  Considered but not executed.

Spected

Saturday, March 2, 2019

Whew.  Barely made it through to the weekend.  I enjoyed last night's concert but found myself wishing beforehand that I had not purchased a ticket.  If I didn't have that sunk cost I would not have gone.  I would have gone home, had a friday night pizza, and crashed.

Super slow start today.  Slept poorly with unpleasant dreams and frequent waking.  Was trying a combination of snoring aids, definitively did NOT work.  Realistically the only thing that's going to make a major difference is major weight loss.  It took a long shower and some coffee to chase the headache and the blahs.

Received a couple packages with new clothes I ordered yesterday so I had occasion to look in the mirror.  Definitely did not like what I saw.  I'm lucky that I've felt mostly decent lately.  Not good, mind you, but decent.  Not going to lie, I'm probably going to have pizza tonight but I need to get it together.

Breakfast:  2 eggs over medium in butter, 5 strips Wright thick applewood bacon, Alexia hash browns in butter, 1 medium avocado, coffee

Just the GOAT, you know it.  Delicious as always.

Lunch:  None

Got a little hungry, but not bad at all.

Dinner:  Pepperoni pizza

Always good.  Too good.

Also:  Caramel De-Lites girl scout cookies.

Exercise:  Nope.

The Fascinating Reading

Saturday, February 23, 2019

At least it's a weekend.  TGIS.

Read a fascinating article yesterday, which I think I've seen before, some dietician saying that pizza for breakfast is a better choice than cereal.  Of course they bag on meat toppings and (correctly) white flour crust, but at least there is an acknowledgement that protein and fat are more satisfying than a bowl of highly processed carbs.

Anyway, it got me thinking .. leftover pizza?  What's that?

Sigh.

Breakfast:  1 egg over medium in butter, 4 strips thick cut bacon, 1 slice sourdough, Alexia hash browns in butter, 1 medium avocado, coffee

A nice deluxe breakfast.  The bread didn't add anything, if I'm having hash browns it's superfluous.

Lunch:  A can of V-8 juice

I decided to not have lunch per se since breakfast was a little late and I'd rather just have an early dinner.

Dinner:  Beef sausage, mashed potatoes with butter/chicken broth, homemade gravy

Decent.  I did a poor job of mashing the potatoes but so it goes.  How about those LOL plating skills though?  Yikes.

Exercise:  Nope.

Defining Maintenance

Friday, February 22, 2019

You know, I could stay about this weight indefinitely.  All I have to do is eat like I have been and I'll be the same fat dude forever.

Sigh.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Lunch:  Trio omelet (bacon/ham/sausage with cheese and sour cream), homemade wheat toast with butter

I've posted this one before, will add pic if I remember.  Edit: I did.

Dinner:  Pepperoni pizza

Same as last weeks, forgot to snap a pic.  So here's a stock photo from a previous week.  They really nailed it this time tho.

Exercise:  Nope.

Sandwich Fever

Wednesday, February 20, 2019

On the plus side, I talked myself out of pizza for dinner.  On the negative side, I was still very hungry and so I got way too much food at the sandwich shop.  Darned delicious food.  I am stuffed but once again would have been perfectly happy to keep eating because of the pleasure.

Unrelated, the snorelab app gave me a good score last night, said I didn't snore much at all after the first few minutes of sleep. No idea why.  It didn't feel like a great night's sleep, I woke up several times and so ... I dunno.  As usual.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Lunch:  2 eggs over medium, hash browns, italian sausage link w peppers and onions, raisin toast

Oops, forgot to take a photo until mostly done.  Same thing I've had a couple times lately.

Dinner:  Ham, salami, cheese sub, garlic bread w cheese and pizza sauce, rice krispy treat

I couldn't believe they had a RKT, they're usually sold out when I stop in.  It's annoying being me sometimes.  At least the sub isn't quite as enormous as the one from the other day.

Exercise:  Nope
