Power blinked again when I started writing this out, this is strange that this is happening all of the sudden. I hope that it isn't related to the storms that have been coming through lately. And when the power came back up it sounded like a big bunch of fireworks went off. Or at least I hope it was fireworks. :/ The radar was clear and the forecast doesn't show any storms for the next several hours.

Trying to not let today's weight effect me too much. But that is a bit of a blow to the morale to be back up to Morbidly Obese. Back of my heels really felt the increase in weight. I did have to go to the bathroom a lot today so hopefully it was just a bit of water weight from the processed meats that I had for lunch over the last couple of days.

For today I did have time to bake the chicken for lunch. I didn't have time to clean the pie plate that I baked the chicken in though. The plate was still quite warm when I left for work so I wasn't able to scrub it very much. Sure there is a Dishwasher, but I'm not sure how well it cleans off baked on gunk from cooking chicken.

The early part of the day was predictably busy as the store is only a couple of blocks away from Main Street where there was a Fourth of July Parade. Did have a couple of people screech at me because I dared to help other people instead of them when I was at Self Checkout to cover the cashier's lunch.

There were a few rainstorms that came through. It was kind of stunning how dark it was when I woke up at 8am. This time of year the sun should be fully up and out, but it almost looked like predawn before the rain started to come down. And it came down in a hurry. Probably a good thing to get a good dousing this morning before people started their fireworks in earnest. There was also another storm that came through this afternoon. The thunder that announced it was a good rolling thunder that I wasn't sure if it was thunder or somebody had a serious malfunction with their fireworks.

Over the day the crowd did drop off so later in the afternoon it kind of became torturous standing around just kind of waiting to go home. I admit that I did snack on cashews and grabbed a couple more drinks more to keep myself entertained than because I was hungry or thirsty.

Other people light money on fire in the form of fireworks, but I have a tradition of grilling a steak for the Fourth of July. It was a pretty good sized steak too so I'm not confident that tomorrow's weight will be down from today. But I'm okay with that considering the size of that steak. At least there's a reason for that lol.

But with the stagnation of the weight lately I have had the idea of trying to do intermediate fasting. OMAD or TMAD. Not fully convinced in that just yet, but it is an idea.
