I wasn't when I woke up, but by noon the bacon in my fridge was sounding pretty good.      Saw a picture on Reddit that was a piece of printer paper hanging in a Fridge that said, “You're not hungry, you're bored. Close the door.” That was a good reminder for most of the afternoon. I knew I was what I like to call, “Mouth Hungry” I was wanting flavor, I was wanting to eat something so that I would be eating something. Decided to start cleaning up the basement. No I wasn't quite THAT desperate for something to do.       I have three 3D printers sitting in the basement. Two of these printers haven't been touched in over a year and one that's still in the shipping box after I

The microwave didn't do the steak very many favors. It tasted good, but it was all kinds of dried out. I now have bits of meat stuck in my teeth      I think I figured out the source of these damn flies. And probably why my kitchen smells like rancid pee. A week or so ago I made a rack of ribs in the Instant Pot and I'm just now getting around to doing the dishes; I really need to do dishes a lot more often. This once a week or waiting until all of the forks and plates are used up really is just breeding flies and bad smells.      But that leads to the question of when am I going

  Didn't get a chance to stand on the scale this morning Breakfast: Doritos w/Queso Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages, Macaroni Salad Drinks: 2x Sparkling waters, 2x Kroger Energy shots, 2L Pepsi Zero Wild Cherry Dinner: Pork steaks      Finished off the Doritos and queso for breakfast this morning I forgot about the “Don't eat unless hungry” part of the plan. I'm not going to beat myself up about it very much. It is something that I do wish I would stick to. But I'm not going to hate myself if I don't stick to it.      Macaroni Salad sounded really good during lunch. A coworker that I've told that I am wanting to do a low-carb diet asked me if macaroni salad is low-carb. I don't think that they were trying to call me out, or be snarky or anything. I just think that they were trying to make conversation. But I had to sheepishly explain that I was just falling for a craving.      It was one of those amazingly rare days where everyone actua

And again, I am going to try avoiding eating if I'm not hungry. “Food is fuel” you don't put more gas in the car if the tank isn't empty.      THESE FLIES ARE GOING TO DRIVE ME INSANE! I'm not sure if it's the weather changing, or if it's that I just let my house get that bad. But when I'm sitting at my computer they are constantly swarming around my head. Strange that there are more flies around my computer than there are in the kitchen where the dirty dishes are. But I can't wait for it to get cold enough to kill these bastards off. I read online that cinnamon is one of the things that repels flies so I sprinkled that around my desk, and when I got back from the restroom I saw a fly

I know that Chicken Fried Steak really isn't in the diet plan that I want to be on, but it also sounded so very good. Got a laugh out of my roommate, because I say the same thing every time we go out to eat I get the chicken fried steak. And then every time I get the chicken fried steak I point out that I get it every time we go out. It is a bit unnerving to listen to him talk during the meal. He seems to be balls deep into the MAGA “woohoo the world is ending!” conspiracies. He seems to be very excited for the

(Dancing around). And today has the perfect weather for it. I'm kind of chuckling that the high temperature went from 93 F (~34 C) to 60 (~15C) It would be nice if it stayed that way for a while but after tomorrow the temps are going to jump back up to the 80's (>27 C) I guess it beats the temps in the upper 90's (upper 30's C) that we were getting over the last couple of months. I wasn't going to turn the heater on, but last night I had opened up the windows to enjoy the cool down. So this morning when I woke up it was 50 (10 C) something degrees outside, therefore it was that cold in my house. Yeah, I flipped that heater on real quick. It is kind of fascinating how quickly the apartment warmed up. If it was ungodly hot and I had turned the AC on it would take

It was a difficult situation to explain; kind of like I was inside out or upside down or something. I felt like I had to negotiate and navigate. And bleah was everything. Then I realized, I didn't eat anything before work. And yesterday all I ate was some leftover nacho cheese and munched on some Doritos. So no wonder I felt so weak, I hadn't had any proper meals in over 24 hours. I'm not trying to starve myself. I just didn't take the time to eat. And frustratingly I still didn't get anything done. Well, I did get the refrigerator thawed out and got the dishes done. (yesterday)      After lunch was like flipping a switch. I hadn't felt that good in a while. Claritin was taking effect, food was starting to tak

I did buy a few more ingredients for making the Keto recipes that I want to make. but then just sat around not doing anything. I did thaw out my freezer to keep the stuff in my refrigerator from rotting. But by the time I had the freezer thawed out it was too late in the evening to eat anything so I didn't eat anything for dinner.

I did not sleep well last night, not well at all. I went to bed at a reasonable time, but just flopped like a fish the entire night. And when I did wake up properly in the morning I took a while to lay there and enjoy that I had a day off, and day off with a day off to follow. I did get some dishes cleaned      September is technically the start of autumn even though it is still getting up into the 90's F (30's C) Thinking of that I was in the mood for some Chili so I went to the store to buy the ingredients for Instant Pot Chili. That is my favorite chili recipe that I have came across so far.      I grabbed some other things that I wasn't planning for as well. In example I picked up a Lamb Shoulder steak, thinking that I've never tried Lamb before. Lamb i

Eyes and head is still a bit tender, but at least I don't feel like the living dead. Voice still sounds rough, but I sound more rough than I feel. Still didn't get anything done before work. I just justified it by telling myself that I'm off Friday and Saturday this week. So I have the next two days off. That is a nice thing to say. That is not something that I get so say very often. Even the weeks that I get two days off in a week they are very rarely together. The trick is to do the stuff tomorrow that I've been meaning to do all week.      I felt a bit floaty at work. But that might have been the combination of the allergy medicine and the leftover allergy symptoms. But it
