I know that it's going to be a “Vitamin P” kind of thing, but it would be nice if the waist line was as dynamic as the scale. I have noticed over the last couple of days the gut had been more “Saggy” and soft. Good news is that means I'm losing fat, bad news is that it's going to start drooping under my shirt if I'm not careful. But I'll take saggy gut over sore feet any day of the week. And on that point feet and shins felt amazing this morning. It sucked last night a screw came out of the back of my computer chair. I was able to put the screw back in. And it seems to be holding, but for a while I was thinking that I was going to have to buy a new one. That would kind ...

    Probably shouldn't have had that entire roast for dinner last night. Sure it might have been Keto (well, I'll have to look at the canned soup and packet of soup mix to make sure) but that was a couple pounds of meat that I ate last night that's now probably sitting in my gut. Writing that out it kind of looks like I said, “Oh no, I ate and now I weigh more, I need to stop eating!” But that's not really what I'm saying. The main frustration that I'm feeling about eating that entire roast last night is that it was what I was planning to have for lunch today. I have all kinds of food in my fridge that I can have for lunch, but I have a bad habit of cooking a recipe and then eating all of that recipe in one go and not leaving more for leftovers, and that's one of the main parts of my food/financial plans.

    I slept really well last night. Slept so well that I slept past my alarms. I'm usually scheduled to work 11am to 8pm but today I'm working 1pm to 10pm. And I'm glad that I work later than I would normally work because I woke up at about a quarter til 10 this morning. I don't know what caused me to sleep in so long. I went to bed at around midnight and even that was kind of early for me. But as soon as I hit the bed I was done. And sitting around all morning I'm still tired. I'm thinking this tired feeling is due to the fact that I worked six days a week for the last couple of weeks. I've also might have been getting some “sneaky carbs”. There were some carbs in the mushroom soup I cooked the roast in last night. And I'm seeing the bratwursts, hot dogs, and the sausages that I've been eating lately have had more sugar in them than I have guessed. More than likely better than eating fried chicken for lunch every day. But it does drive me to eat more home cooked meals.

    I'm off the next two days, but I'm doing laundry on Wednesday. So I don't have anything planned for tomorrow. I want to have a weekly recipe done on Tuesdays, but I haven't gotten around to planing one out yet. I have thought about just taking the day off. I do want Tuesdays to be my sort of Sabbath. So I might just sit down a bit, maybe play some more Skyrim, or maybe Fallout New Vegas. But then again if I don't get anything done I'll berate myself for not getting anything done. But sometimes a day not doing anything really is getting something done. 

    Worked late this evening, when I got off I did stare at the boxes of Mac and cheese on the way out of the store. I was planning on pan frying a pork steak for dinner and I was thinking that mac and cheese did sound like a good combination with the meat. But the mac and cheese isn't very good for my diet. What is questionable on the diet is the Bud Light Next that I picked up. Anything I say about that is just excuses. I do know that I did everything better last month when I was leaving my debit card at home. And that's just what I need to get back to doing. Leaving my debit card at home means I don't buy energy shots, I don't buy hot dogs for lunch when I already have food at home in the fridge, I don't buy beer, and I can't be tempted by mac and cheese or other spur of the moment dinner groceries on the way home from work.
