Seriously how long does it take to recover from a buffet? I kind of wonder if I should have restarted the Keto Kount when I went to the buffet on Sunday for Mother's Day. Oh well, still down 10.7 lbs since the beginning of the year and 21.6 lbs since this day last year. So still making rocking progress, but I would like it if that progress continued, or at the very least not go backwards.

Woke up at pretty close to 8am like I normally do. Actually woke up before the alarm. I thought since I work an hour later than I normally do I'd just go ahead and just lay there. But the dogs had a different idea as they thought it'd be fun to bark for a solid half an hour. Mom kept yelling at them to shut up as there was nothing for them to be barking at other than the fact that other dogs in the neighborhood were barking themselves. So laying there with the constant barking I figured I might as well get up and do things. And they immediately shut up as soon as I got up. That's why I like cats. You don't hear them yapping their heads off.

The first half of the day went by pretty smoothly, but my left foot got pretty grumpy that I was walking around that much after sitting around for a week. Working a 5:3 split kind of exasperated that I was running around for nearly five hours straight.

Had the other half of the pork loin for lunch. I didn't cut it into slices like the half that I had the other day, but it did turn out good cutting it into chunks as I ate it at lunch. The plastic knife that came in the flatware works surprisingly well. I picked up a bag of pork rinds and a big bottle of coke to have with lunch as I was craving more than just the half pork loin that I had in the lunchbox.

I got kind of annoyed close to the end of the shift as there is a streamer that I like to watch. He usually streams on Monday night, but he was delayed until tonight. He starts his stream at 8pm central time, but I got off at 9. I figured I'd miss the first hour of the stream, but I'd hurry to try to close right at 9 to hurry home to see as much of the show I could. But people just kept trickling in all of the way until 8:59 so it took another 20 minutes to finish all of the closing reports. Oh, well I should be glad that I got out late as “payed by the hour is payed by the minute”

As I got off late Mom had already had her dinner so I baked a pork steak for myself. Baked it from frozen, I was kind of worried that I cooked it too hot for too short of time, but it did turn out fine.

I kind of debated making the post this evening as I didn't think I'd have the mental energy to gather enough to say. But I was able to get it out in time. And as per usual I was almost missed the step count this evening. Whenever I work in the Customer Service Desk I usually miss the count. But walking around after work preparing dinner I did get the count up to the goal. I'm not really broken up when I miss the step count, it's just another notification that pops up when I miss it.
