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 ...

    Got the weigh in done this morning. Quite proud of myself that I got all 10 weigh ins and all the daily blogs done so far this year. I have more 2023 weigh ins done by the start of March than I did the entirety of 2022. If I keep it up, by the end of March I'll have more posts on here than I did all of last year.

    I came home from work for lunch. For the last several days I've been wanting to set up the slow cooker with a chuck roast that I bought a couple of weeks ago with a digital coupon. It was in the freezer for most of that time so it's still good. But I keep forgetting to set it up before I head back to work. What I didn't forget to do was pick up a pack of hot dogs on the way out of the store. I keep saying this, but I really need to leave my debit card at home. Energy shots, soda, hot dogs, spaghetti squash/sauce, just didn't need to be bought. Sure it was a heck of a lot more Ketogenic than the stuff I had almost bought, but I still have food at home. Food at home that needs to be eaten.

    After work I was kicking myself for not setting up the pot roast and thinking that I need something for dinner. And sure I have plenty of chicken in the freezer, but I didn't think about that. What did sound really good was some spaghetti. And even if I wasn't trying to follow the Keto diet, the way I make spaghetti really isn't healthy. (I usually eat about half the box of spaghetti in one sitting.) It took a lot of self control to not just say fudge it to the diet and try again some other day. But I settled on picking up what's known as a spaghetti squash. When this squash is baked the inside of the squash goes all stringy and a lot of Keto recipes use it in place of pasta. I say that the taste of the squash isn't bad. But the fibers of the vegetable just don't cook into the same consistency of spaghetti. They're quite crispy (lack of a better term) When I mixed the squash into the sauce it kind of disappeared. It wasn't like eating the spaghetti like I was craving. But the taste of the garlicky tomatoes settled that craving.
