Good Looks And Bad

Wednesday, March 11, 2020

Vacation the first hits today.  Apparently I decided to start the vacation eating early.

Had an interesting (to me) observation this morning -- when I put on my work clothes, I'm pleased with how loose they're getting.  When I look in the mirror from close up before getting dressed, I can see the progress.  But when I happened to look from further away this morning, it was OMFG AVERT YOUR EYES.  Yup.  Still very fat.

Breakfast:  CFA chicken biscuit (x2), coffee, one earlier coffee with cocoa butter

Decided to have a late breakfast, not eat lunch at the regular time and to have a snack before leaving on my trip since dinner will probably be very late.  I only ordered one biscuit, they gave me another one free since it was the end of breakfast hours.  And I ate it, because I like chicken biscuits.

Lunch:  OM Naturals roast beef.

Considering I ate this about 5, it's almost not exactly lunch. 

Dinner:  Culvers Bacon Deluxe, minus mayo plus mustard

Exercise:  Nope.  Work, then travel.  Long day.

Vacation Nearly Prepped

Tuesday, March 10, 2020

One more day after today, then it's a long weekend away.  It's been too long.  Sure, there were a couple days off over the holidays, but I didn't go anywhere.  

Breakfast:  Coffee with cocoa butter (x2)

Lunch:  OM Naturals roast beef, 2 slices extra sharp cheddar, sourdough bread with generous butter, Fage cherry TruBlend yogurt

A standby.  This was the free store bread, not homemade.  I'll have it again tomorrow then tuck it in the freezer.

Dinner:  Leftover homemade deluxe pizza

I made multiple pizzas on Saturday and stuck a couple in the freezer.  This was thawed overnight and then reheated for 18 minutes at 350.  Result was nicely warmed, but the crust was limp.  I'll have to explore other options to crisp it up a bit so it's sturdier.  And while quality suffered a bit, it was still quite tasty.

Exercise:  Nope.  It's going to be an interesting trip.  I'm not in great shape, though thank goodness I've lost some weight and am moving better.

World Wild Monday

Monday, March 9, 2020

A crazy day in the rest of the world, a regular Monday in these parts.  No local corona virus cases, just not an issue here yet.  And nobody had much to say about the crash in the stock market.   It's a fairly surreal contrast with the places we see on the TV news.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Early start today, so it was coffee from home and later a McCoffee, neither with cocoa butter.

Lunch:  Leftover pizza

Yum.  The best part of Mondays.

Dinner:  4 mexican style tacos with onion, cilantro, avocado, hot sauce

The second best part of Mondays.

Exercise:  Nope.  Didn't sleep great last night and I'm still not entirely adjusted to the time change.

Daylight Save This

Sunday, March 8, 2020

Ugh.  Springing forward is annoying.  My body clock was completely baffled this morning -- I gave up and went back to sleep.  So now tomorrow is going to suck more.  Oh well.

At least it's going to be a warmish sunny day.  Might have to get outside and do something.

Breakfast:  1 egg, a sprinkle of sharp cheddar on well buttered sourdough, coffee

Absentmindedly used up all my bacon last night and I didn't feel like opening another package.  This was a fine breakfast, since it's already 10:00 I don't feel like anything more substantial.

Lunch:  Homemade tacos

Same as yesterday, just with cheddar instead of cheddar jack and fire sauce instead of salsa verde.  Oh, and I made the dough into 3 tortillas instead of 4.

Dinner:  Chuck roast, gravy, boxed potatoes, carrots with butter, roll with butter, 12 oz Miller Lite

Ate what was pictured, plus about 6-8 more carrots and the beer.  It wasn't a good night for the roast, it needed more time.  If I were in charge I would have served real potatoes and homemade rolls, but I'll survive.

Exercise:  Nope.  Quite active today but no dedicated exercise.

That Stuff Is Pervasive

Saturday, March 7, 2020

Made it to the weekend.  And though I have a lot to do, it's still relaxing.  And I have a short week plus vacation comin.g right up.

On the down side, it's the weekend of spring forward.  I was able to get up much earlier than usual today -- 5:00 a.m. -- but it's depressing to think that tomorrow that'll be 6:00 and I'll have to get up an hour earlier yet to keep that time.  I wasn't quite inspired enough to get outside to walk, but I figure that if can start getting the sleep schedule fixed it will help move me in that direction.  Long term.

Didn't suffer too much from overdoing treat night.  Stomach a bit unhappy -- too much acid too close to bedtime -- but nothing major.  Didn't retain as much water as expected either.  So life is good.

When I got my groceries last night I had a coupon for a free loaf of bread, any kind except the in store bakery.  I probably looked at fifteen different kinds, maybe more, and every single one of them -- even the "natural" stuff - had soybean oil (on in the case of Dave's Killer Bread and maybe one or two more, "organic expeller pressed canola oil").  No thanks.  I rolled the dice on the localish bakery sourdough that has no oil - the kind I usually get when I do buy bread - and the coupon was accepted.  So I'll have that in the freezer.  Sheesh.  I guess I'll be eating that crap on vacation since avoiding buns and bread entirely isn't going to be easy (or likely) but all the more reason to make my own. 

Breakfast:  2 slices Wright thick applewood bacon, homemade buttermilk roll with butter, coffee w cacao butter

Tiny amount of cacao butter this morning, just didn't feel like adding much.  Didn't eat right away either, it's almost 8:00 as I'm finishing up.

Lunch:  Tacos w/ onion, cilantro, cheddar jack cheese and TB salsa verde

Pretty good.   The beef was from a prior week (frozen), maybe a hair less good but perfectly fine.  Went with the verde instead of fire for a change of pace, not bad.  

Dinner:  Homemade pizza with pepperoni, bacon, ham and four cheeses

So good.  Made my own sauce, too.  And I have leftovers!

Exercise:  Nope.  Only modestly active, too.  Did the usual chores but also nodded off twice while relaxing.

Treat Time

Friday, March 6, 2020

Feeling pretty good about things.  TGIF of course.  I still get cranky when I see myself in the mirror or when I get aches and pains -- I'd sure like the random abdomen pains to go away -- but I'm still feeling positive.

Had my treat meal tonight and I enjoyed it.  Overdid it, certainly -- I still do not have complete power here -- but I think I'll be fine.  I even picked out the next treat meal, though it's a ways away and may not be until after two vacations.

Breakfast:  Coffee w cocoa butter (x2)

Lunch:  Roast beef, 2 slices extra sharp cheddar, Fage vanilla TruBlend yogurt

Super quick, didn't have time to heat the roll I had defrosting in the fridge.  Oh well.

Dinner:  Deluxe pizza plus jalapeno

Said it all.  Honestly I may even like the homemade pizza better, but this is good.

Exercise:  Nope.  How about tomorrow?  I did spend 45 minutes hiking the grocery store but I'm not counting it.

Barrier Broken Small Version

Thursday, March 5, 2020

A very pleasant surprise to see another dip on the scale this morning, blew right past the previous low for recent years.  I still (and will never) understand how these things go -- I ate too many carbs yesterday, didn't skimp at all at dinner and I got in zero exercise and virtually no movement.  This is not a complaint.  Not at all.  And yes, I may need to have breakfast tacos again tonight.

One of today's little projects is to try and find the next mini-target weight.  Seems like I wasn't very good about recording numbers while gaining, so I'm not sure what I will find.  If I don't find much, so be it.  I know how far I have to go to get back to my 2013 best.  It's a ways.  

Edit:  Okay, next lower number is only a couple pounds, my last recorded 2013 weight.  So let's set the next little step eleven pounds down   That'll get me back to September 2013.  Starting to get a ways back in the archives here and I once again curse all the days (weeks, months) where I didn't record a weight.  Target 88, then 70 for the next one, epic vacation number.  35 low.  And remember dumbass that your fastest drops happened and you felt your best when you were walking every morning.  You built up to the point where your endurance hung on for quite a while after you stopped doing it daily.  That was seven years ago.  Idiot.

Breakfast:  Coffee with cocoa butter (x2)

Lunch:  Oscar Meyer naturals roast beef, 2 slices extra sharp cheddar, homemade buttermilk roll with butter, Fage cherry TruBlend yogurt

Quite satisfactory.  When I made the last batch of rolls I made them a bit bigger with the plan to just have one instead of two.  So far so good.

Dinner:  Breakfast tacos, take 2

Very tasty.  Proportions were good with 2 eggs and a bit less sausage.

Exercise:  Nope.

Unsolvable Sleep

Wednesday, March 4, 2020

Excess fluid level reduced slightly this morning.  Back on track.  Interestingly -- to me anyway -- when I checked the snorelab app it showed remarkably little.  What it did record is times when I must have been awake since I can hear a sniff common to my waking hours and other sounds indicative of being awake.  I do not remember being awake, though.  I would ordinarily be more concerned about this but given the lack of snoring it doesn't seem like this is an apnea situation.  Something to watch though.

Breakfast:  Coffee with cocoa butter (x2)

Lunch:  Ham & Bacon & White Bean soup, homemade buttermilk rolls with butter, 2 slices extra sharp cheddar, Fage vanilla TruBlend yogurt

A bit excessive but very tasty.

Dinner:  Breakfast tacos -- corn tortillas, 3 eggs scrambled, leftover CF breakfast sausage, a little shredded cheese, avocado, fire sauce

Turned out very good!  Will probably have again tomorrow, may cut the eggs down to two as I had a little bit much in the filling department.

Exercise:  Nope.  Pathetic.  Abdomen issue is flaring tonight which isn't helping.

Not Cleared Not Close

Tuesday, March 3, 2020

System remains questionable.   Given the lack of success in clearing it I'm going to hope that I'm wrong in my thinking that output and input are way out of balance.  Dunno.  Definitely bloated this morning especially upper abdomen - not a big surprise since I ate way too much again last night.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Didn't add any cocoa butter this morning.  Had to grab and go.

Lunch:  BBQ brisket, cup of spicy texas chili, half a corn cake

Didn't eat until some time after 1:30, I was ready and hungry by then.  Had a hard time deciding on where to go, since I didn't have time to make the trek home and heat anything up.  BBQ place won out and it was quite good.  I didn't eat the sauce, just the brisket, cup of chili and about half the corn cake.  If it didn't have sugar or if I could have added a bunch of butter I would have been okay with eating it.  

Dinner:  Cheese popcorn, Fage cherry TruBlend yogurt

Benefit of the late and satisfying lunch, not at all hungry when I got home.  Eventually decided that I wanted some butter, went popcorn for that.  Added the yogurt I didn't have for lunch and I'm living the high life.

Exercise:  Nope.  Excuses are wearing awful thin.  Need to get to it.

System Issue

Monday, March 2, 2020

Another Monday.  I actually woke up this morning and couldn't remember if it was Sunday or Monday.  It required concentration ... and remembering that yesterday was warm ... to answer correctly.  Unfortunate.

System has been lacking in output and that was the case again this morning.  Potential corrective action has been taken, but it will definitely be nice to get it back to peak performance.  Otherwise, pleased not to see a gain after the massive dinner.

Breakfast:  Coffee with cocoa butter (x2)

Lunch:  Leftover pizza

Good as always.  Such a decent, easy, quick lunch.

Dinner:  Breakfast bowl -- 2 eggs, some CF sausage, Alexia hash browns, medium avocado, cheese, hot sauce.  Also:  cheese popcorn with butter

Good stuff.  No taco Monday today.  Actually measured the hash browns in order to size correctly with butter.  

As an added bonus, I left work unusually early and am finished by 7:00.  Good times.

Exercise:  Nope.  Slept poorly, no chance of getting up.  Trying to fix the schedule tonight.

First March

Sunday, March 1, 2020

Two months in the books.  Two successful months.  Still tons of weight to lose.

In a particularly good mood this morning after an unexected drop on the scale.  It's a mystery how that happens -- I was not real active yesterday, ate three meals and carbs at each, didn't purge a notable amount of waste, and yet there it is.  I'll probably be higher tomorrow morning due to variance if nothing else, but it is sure nice when the numbers go down.  And it meant that I hit my goal for February, which is a bonus.  I didn't quite reach my reward trigger, which is too bad because tonight would have been a good night for it, but it's super close.  And I'm only a tiny fraction short of being my lightest since April 2014.  It's all good.  Next target is a few more -- three -- pounds that gets me to lowest since November 2013.

Speaking of the old days, I noticed when looking at that spring 2014 stretch I was eating a lot of familiar foods -- breakfast, homemade pizza and tacos!  It's almost like I'm wired to like such things and they somehow don't cause increased fatness unless I overdo it.  Of course I fell off as I have pretty much always done, but it was interesting to see.  Somewhat different than when I had prior success which was (iirc) definitely low carb.

Also:  Tried on some things yesterday that I'm likely to wear on vacation and was quite pleased with how they fit.  Definitely a few pounds gone especially around the midsection.  Yeah, yeah, still very fat.

Breakfast:  Oatwaffles with butter, 3 strips bacon, coffee with a little cacao butter

Dependably good.  Last of the oatwaffles -- could have used even more time in the oven.  Put them in before the bacon next time.

Lunch:  Tacos with cilantro, onion, shredded cheese and fire sauce

Same as yesterday.  Fresh tortillas, everything else was left over.  Yum.

Dinner:  Taco salad with al pastor pork

Audibled to this, wanted some veggies again.  Good, though it is too big.  I should have only eaten half or something, I'm quite full.

Exercise:  Nope.  Not going to count anything, though I was quite active.  I put up a shelf, worked on detailing my car, stuff like that.

Incrementally Downward

Saturday, February 29, 2020

I guess that would be decremental, actually.  

Anyway.

Last day of the month.  It's been a pretty decent month, no major meltdowns, no suffering.  Rate of loss has definitely slowed but a portion of that has been a lack of activitiy.  I'm hoping that with slightly warmer (40s even) weather I'll be more active.  Springing forward and having it be light later will also help a bit.  And if I'm not hungry I'll play around with decreasing portion sizes slightly and cutting out some carbs. 

Since I haven't had much initiative yet this morning I've been sitting and thinking, which is dangerous.  I eventually landed on pizza -- not surprising since it's pizza day -- and did some googling on how well it freezes.  I think that I'm going to make extra next weekend (no extra dough tonight) and try freezing it.  When it comes down to it, leftover pizza isn't that much different than a sandwich and since I've been doing well controlling portions maybe having it for lunch more often would be okay.  Or maybe it won't be.  But I can experiment and find out.

Breakfast:  Oatwaffles with butter, 2 strips Wright thick cut applewood bacon, coffee with just a bit of cacao butter

Luxurious, and with almost no effort.  Weekends man.  Next time I need to remember to put the frozen waffles in with the bacon right away since ten minutes is not long enough from frozen.

Lunch:  Homemade tacos with onion, cilantro, shredded cheese and fire sauce

Good as usual.  I do need to exercise patience with the tortillas, these were fine but would have benefitted from another 30 seconds a side.  I had an avocado but absentmindedly decided to save it for dinner ... for a dinner that's happening tomorrow.  Oops.

Just looked up the nutrition facts for Maseca and it makes me even more curious about the power of takeout tacos -- my four tortillas were good for nearly sixty grams of carbs ... and I've been eating leftover pizza for lunch a lot of Mondays.

Dinner:  Homemade pizza with pepperoni, bacon, ham, mushrooms, green pepper and roma tomato

I'm not sure that my photos accurately capture just how delicious these are.  Tonight's pizza was exquisite.  I didn't have a lot of sauce, so I was glad I had a good sized tomato.

Exercise:  Nope.  Kinda poky today.  I was active doing the usual chores but nothing that can clearly be identified as exercise.  Not good, considering I'll be getting lots here in ten days or so.

Sometimes Veggies Are Great

Friday, February 28, 2020

No particular reason I can think of but I was craving some vegetables last night and a little salad delivered.  Had a few more in my lunch today.  Was very pleased that the ones I ate yesterday were processed well and aided the system.  All good.

And it's Friday.

Breakfast:  Coffee with cocoa butter (x2)

Lunch:  Homemade beef stew, buttermilk rolls with butter, 2 slices extra sharp cheddar

Very satisfying, if a bit much.  Probably could have skipped the cheese, maybe even a roll.  The stew, as usual, was better for having been frozen, thawed and reheated.

Dinner:  Meatball sub

Good as usual.  Just a fine sandwich.

Exercise:  Not really.  I did spend an hour hiking around the grocery store and fifteen minutes at Home Depot but that doesn't really count.

Challenges Ahead

Thursday, February 27, 2020

With vacation looming less than two weeks out, there are definitely some challenges on the horizon.  I'll probably get a bit of a test tonight as I may go out to dinner.  I will not say that I'm super concerned, but it's definitely on the radar.

Breakfast:  Coffee w cocoa butter (x2)

Lunch:  Leftover keto sausage balls, buttermilk bread w butter, Fage vanilla TruBlend yogurt

Cleaned up the sausage balls since as mentioned I may do dinner out.  No reason to keep them another day in the fridge.

Dinner:  5 oz sizzler, garlic toast with butter, salad plate (lettuce, mushroom, tomato, cucumber, hard boiled egg, shredded cheddar, bar cheese and cottage cheese), cup of swiss sausage soup, 16 oz Labatt Blue

Quite enjoyable (especially since I just had to leave some cash for the tip thanks to a gift card).  I have thought for the last day or two that some veggies would be nice.  And you know, bar cheese works pretty well as salad dressing (lol).  I am pleasantly full without being stuffed.

Exercise:  Nope.  Downside is getting home at 8:15.  It is also frigid and windy out there.

File Under Patience, Test Of

Wednesday, February 26, 2020

This morning is proving to be a test of patience.  It's so easy to be disappointed when you don't see good news on the scale -- probably a good reason not to weigh daily -- especially when you feel leaner and that bit of bloat you noticed the day before is gone.  Like every other fat person in the history of the world, I just want it (or at least some of it) gone.  Now.

And so I have to fight the temptation to blow it all up, make radical changes that I then cannot keep up.  Instead, I need to be smart.  As mentioned yesterday it wouldn't hurt to dial back the carbs, at least somewhat.  I should be able to do so without impacting satiety too much or triggering hunger.  I can push myself to get out there and get some exercise.  My foot is improving and I really don't have any valid excuses.  If I have time to sit around I have time to move.  Daily.

Patience.  It's hard.

Breakfast:  Coffee with cocoa butter (x2)

Lunch:  Roast beef, 2 slices extra sharp cheddar, homemade buttermilk rolls with butter, Fage vanilla TruBlend yogurt

Quite sated.

Dinner:  Leftover keto sausage balls, medium avocado, cheese popcorn with butter

Good stuff.

Exercise:  Nope.

The Power Is Less Than Absolute

Tuesday, February 25, 2020

Welp.  The power of tacos was inadequate.  I felt (and looked imo) a bit bloated this morning and sure enough, a small increase on the scale.  No explanation, since things were pretty stock standard Monday, but there you go.  

Sleep wasn't great, either.  Too much snoring (also for which I have no specific explanation), a few wakeups though they weren't annoying.  Sigh.  

Breakfast:  Coffee w cocoa butter

Lunch:  Oscar Meyer Naturals roast beef, 2 slices extra sharp cheddar, homemade buttermilk bread with butter, Fage vanilla TruBlend yogurt

Definitely like this beef better than the Dietz & Watson I got last week.

Dinner:  Keto sausage balls, mashed potatoes w/butter TCD style

I have to say, I like the sausage balls.  A pound roll makes three very solid servings and since I dialed back the almond flour I like them even better.

This evening I'm pondering whether I need to dial back the starch a bit.  It's pure speculation but I'm guessing that I get between 100-200g of carb a day.  If I dialed that back to 50-100g, that might be helpful.  Needs more thought.  It would probably be easy enough to cut back from 2 medium potatoes to 1 and from 2 slices of bread or rolls to 1.  On an entirely unrelated subject, I also think it's time to have a meal or two that's heavily loaded with veggies.  Just to keep the system on its toes.

Exercise:  Nope.  Taking it easy tonight.  It would be swell if that would include going to bed early in hopes of a reset.

The Worst Things In History Probably Happened On Monday

Monday, February 24, 2020

I haven't done any research on the subject but it has to be true that the worst things happen on Mondays.  Just musing.  Thankfully - knock on wood - nothing notable has happened so far today, I'm just grumbly.  Not ready for another work week.

Happily I did not pay a steep price for eating way too much dinner last night.  Of course it would be nice if weekends featured drops, but they haven't.  Should work on that.

Breakfast:  Coffee with cocoa butter (x2)

Lunch:  Leftover pizza

Monday lunch is the best lunch of the week at least.  This one was especially good, even cold.

Dinner:  4 ground beef tacos with onion and cilantro, avocado, hot sauce

Taco Monday.  This was their poorest effort in recent memory, it just was all around not up to their usual standard.

Exercise:  Nope.  We'll see if I perk up but so far it's not looking promising.

Griddlin

Sunday, February 23, 2020

If you ever need proof that I am clinicially insane all you need to do is examine my kitchen decisionmaking.  I've been trying to figure out the best way to cook tortillas.  Cast iron seemed like the obvious choice, but my cast iron is not especially well seasoned and the darned thing smokes.   I need to strip and reseason with some higher smoke point oil, but that's going to have to wait until grilling season since I can't do it indoors - no range hood.  I'd live with the smoke since it's not that bad but I set off the blasted smoke detectors last time and they're super annoying.  Strike one.  Next I tried a sacrificial ceramic nonstick pan, which worked, I guess, though not ideal.  Strike two.  Yesterday I used a stainless steel skillet.  The tortillas were fine but the skillet was not happy and I'm still working on getting it back to pristine condition.  Strike three.  I'm seriously thinking about getting a nonstick electric griddle.  Which would put my investment in tortilla making at somewhere north of fifty dollars.  Sheesh.  Yes, that's my mind at work.

Breakfast:  Bacon, coffee with cacao butter

Reheating leftover bacon certainly goes quickly.  Convenient that I cooked up the rest of the package yesterday.

Lunch:  Homemade tacos

I didn't realize until this morning that I did not have fire sauce with my tacos yesterday.  I finished off a bottle last week and hadn't pulled out the other one I have.  Otherwise, same as yesterday.  Fresh tortillas, everything else was leftover.  I'm definitely getting more efficient, this took about 20 minutes to prepare.

Dinner:  Broiled chicken breast, white and wild Rice a Roni, green beans, cheddar cheese sauce, rolls with butter, 12 oz Miller Lite

Overdid it.  Definitely.   Pretty darned good, though.

Exercise:  Yes.  I humped boxes and stuff for quite a while.  An active day.  It helped a great deal that I threw a compression sock (and two regular socks) on my callused foot and it didn't bother me all day.  Major improvement.  Hopefully that continues, because it's easy enough to do.

Expecting Worst, Delivery Rejected

Saturday, February 22, 2020

Happy weekend.  I was not expecting good things this morning, not after having my treat meatball sub *and* two beers, but the scale was kind.  Could be a carryover effect from prior days or it could be completely random, who knows.  But either way it was happy to beat my guess by a bunch.  And it wasn't like I felt bloated or anything, I just had negative expectations.

As usual a massive long list of things I want to do this weekend.  For once not much will revolve around cooking -- my freezer is quite well stocked and I've settled in with the sandwich & yogurt lunch most days, so not much to do.  I'm probably going to make tacos again for lunch and of course it's pizza saturday, so there will be cooking, just of the routine variety.

Breakfast:  4 strips thick cut applewood bacon, coffee w cacao butter

Thought about having an oatwaffle but ended up with just bacon.  I had a bunch left to cook up from the package so I'll be having some tomorrow too and maybe I'll throw a strip or two on my pizza.

Lunch:  Homemade tacos with cilantro, onion and "mexican" cheese blend

Success.  I cut down the tortilla recipe by a third and it made four nice ones.  The ground beef was solid, it may have been a hair better if I had thawed it longer and used a bigger pan.  I was surprised the cilantro was still good, it was fine.  The avocadoes I bought on Wednesday weren't ripe so I went for some cheese instead for added fat.

And yes, I found the dorky plastic taco plates.  Figured I'd give them a shot.  Truth, it did make assembly a bit easier. 

Dinner:  Homemade pizza with bacon, ham, mushroom, red bell pepper, black and green olives, roma tomato

Love love love Saturday pizza night (it was always Friday night growing up and until I started making homemade, but homemade takes time and Saturdays work better).  Cleaned up some mushrooms and the bell pepper.  And once again I'll have the rest for lunch on Monday.  Yes.

Exercise:  Nope.  Nothing specific.  Reasonably active doing stuff, but no focused effort.  The callus on my foot is being rather annoying as well.

When Everything Has Been Said

Friday, February 21, 2020

Pretty much said everything about Fridays.  TGIF.

Breakfast:  Coffee w cocoa butter (x2)

Lunch:  Dietz & Watson homestyle roast beef, 2 slices extra sharp cheddar, homemade buttermilk bread with butter, Fage cherry TruBlend yogurt

OK.  I'm not fond of the roast beef but it was edible.  I have another package of that since it was BOGO.  Not my finest effort with the bread, but it was perfectly good.

Unrelated, I think I just decided to go back to smaller photos.

Dinner:  Meatball sub

This is just a quality sandwich.  I'm sure it's not the greatest thing for me, but it sure tastes good.

Also:  12 oz Shiner Bock, 16 oz Founders All Day IPA

Went to a concert, had a couple beers.  Have to say I enjoyed the IPA ... and that I'm glad I stopped at two beers which is definitely my limit.

Exercise:  Nope.  I did fit in my grocery shopping and a quick stop at Walmart but I'm not counting it.
