Back On A Diet

2017 to March 2021 weight graph from my My Fitness Pal app.

I went back on my diet Monday. No bread, no sugar. I guess it was 2016 or 17, I hit 199 pounds. I couldn’t let myself go to fatness of 200 pounds or more, so I gave up sugar and bread. I went down to around 170, less than in high school.

After that, I ended my dietary restrictions, but less sugar and bread than before. But, over the past year or so, the weekly weighings show an unpleasant trend.

Last Monday was 188 pounds, so it’s back to the diet.

Look at the chart below. How you doin?

I’d like to stay between 175 and 180.

My wife just gave me a cupcake to take to work.

Have a FANTASTIC Thursday!

Birthday Dinner

Had a nice birthday dinner for my wife with friends last night. We went to the Thai Orchid Restaurant. As usual, it was very good. It was also Kate’s birthday, the blonde in the top two pictures below.

We all stayed up too late last night and I, for one am dragging this morning. Tomorrow will be a long day as well, I’m going to Cayman Brac for work for the day. It will be a 14 hour day, minimum. Hope I can get some extra sleep tonight!

Have a great day!

Thursday

It’s Day before Friday. I’m feeling pretty relaxed this morning.

Yesterday evening I made stuffed peppers. They were pretty good, if I say so myself. The wife had an exercise class after work, so I made dinner. Very pretty presentation, Two red, two orange. I shoulda took a picture. And I opened a can of spinach.

Hopefully winter is over, weather has been good the past weeker two.

Have a good day!

Cereal, The Perfect Food

I love cereal, any time of day. My favorite is Fiber One Rasin Bran Clusters. With Very Vanilla soymilk

Cereal and milk is the perfect food because  It tastes good, it’s good for you, it”s easy to prepare. no cooking, doesn’t get too many dishes dirty. And you don’t have to get anything to drink while you’re eating it, because of the milk. So it makes a very efficent meal. I’m sure there’s a lot more reasons why cereal is the perfect meal, can you think of any?

I think I’ll go get a bowl right now! I’ve talked myself into it!

Here  it is very cold and windy. By cold, I mean low 70’s. I took the car yesterday becaause of the cold and I’ll probably take it again today.

My Fitbit that I talked about yesterday seems to be a dud. The battery only lasts about 8 hours. I have to review their warranty options online today.

Twas an ok weekend. I left the house only to get breakfast fixins on Saturday morning. The Wife had to work Sunday. I took sun on the sun deck and watched every NFL team I hoped would win, lose. I abhor all the remainibg teams, except Carolina.

Have a great week!

Worst Tacos In The World

image

I just wanted to say, I had the worst tacos I have ever had at Chili’s restaurant at Miami International Airport.

image

Mine were on a plate like the above picture, but didn’t look like the picture. And were very bland.

This is my desperate, pathetic post for the day. It came from my “topic list”. If you love tacos, don’t get them from Chili’s!

Happy hump day!

One Day & A Wakeup! Plus A Long Ramble

Tomorrow we go to Mexico! I don’t even know why I’m even bothering going to work today!

It was  a 50/50 weekend.

We didn’t go to a wedding on Saturday, we’re going to a wedding in Mexico.

The wife worked Sunday, she came home with sandwiches, she accidently gave me the wrong sandwich, I ate it. She got super super mad at me for not noticing. I was watching American football, not paying attention along those lines, her sandwich was completely different than mine. I should have noticed. One time at Subway, I ordered a chicken sandwich. I ate it and it was excellent. After that, the worker came up and asked me if my sandwich had chicken on it. I said I don’t know, but it was excellent. They found a piece of chicken in the  microwave and figured it was supposed to go in my sandwich. I thought and thought, but couldn’t remember if there was chicken in my sandwich or not. But I remember it was good. the other day we went to a restaurant, I ordered a beef sandwich. I was terrible. Tasted like charcoal, literally. The manager came over when I was almost done, and asked how everything was, I said terrible, tastes like charcoal. She gave me a weird look, ’cause I was woofin’ it down. I said “Hey, you asked”. I have these two teeth that gets food stuck between them. When I got home and jammed a toohpick between those teeth and got out the hunk of meat from that sandwich I could taste it again. It was terrible tasting.  Charcoal. I don’t care about food. Eating and sleeping are wastes of time, and if I didn’t have to do them, I wouldn’t.

Football-wise his weekend was opposite of last weekend. Almost all my teams lost. And the Redskins got hammered like they hammered last week.

Did you ever see the movie “The Matrix”? Where the cat walks by twice and Neo says “Whoa, deja vu”? It’s hapening to me, our cat, Ashy, keeps walking by. She’s doing laps, in the laundry door, through the kitchen, out the dining room door to the back porch and under my table. Again and again, like the Matrix movie.

Let me out of here, I gotta go to work.

Have a good week, I might not post tomorrow, I’ll be going to the airport.

Took some pics of the almost full moon almost going down.

Tonight we’re having guests over for dinner. I’m making a whole tenderloin on the grill.

I slept lightly last night. I felt aware of my surroundings all night. I’m very sleeeeepy today.

Have a wonderful day!

Catch Restaurant

Last night The Wife and I went out to a newish restaurant called either ‘The Catch” or simply ‘Catch’. We were both pleased. The food was good, the service was impeccable. And the bill was much lower than I expected it to be.

So when you”re here, check it out!

Feels Like Tuesday,

But it’s THURSDAY!

While I was on vacation, there was a fire in my building. An air conditioner. My office wasn’t damaged, but since there’s no power, I had to move to another office in a different building until it gets cleaned up. The whole building is covered in soot. Glad my door was closed.

Last night I made meatloaf for dinner. My wife said it was my best yet. 2 lbs of 97% lean hamburger, about half a cuppa Panko breadcrumb things, 2 eggs, a flat handful of dried onions and a generous squirt of hot sauce. And salt n pepper. Knead it all into a ball, plop it in yer oven pan, make a pretty design on top with ketchup, and bake for an hour at 375.

I got pretty angry this morning, thinking about work, but I think I’ve calmed down now.

“Bring the weekend”, he said, after only one day back at work from vacation.
