Impending Damage Control

Zoikes. 

well, it was going to happen, and it has, and i have to show some character now. 

i'll have character.  i will not consume this cake. 

but i'm going to partake.  not today though.

breakfast today: strawberry/banana yogurt with blueberries added, 12 grain toast with peanut butter

brunch: a sausage egg and cheese soft taco and a hash brown

lunch: a blue cheese bacon burger and a cup of wedding soup

dinner: potato soup, maybe a grilled cheese sandwich?  simple anyway.

i'm thankful and blessed, and will remember that today.

fuck this absence...

okay, for breakfast today i had a two egg omelet with leftover broccoli, cauliflower and mashed potatoes in the filling, with some cheese, and a piece of 12 grain toast with sugar free jam.  for lunch, i had chicken salad and a small potato salad from Giant Eagle, and i had an orange.  for dinner i had a green salad consisting of spinach, green onions, grape tomatoes, dried berries, blue cheese, boiled egg and chopped baked chicken.  i also had a chicken sandwich with tomato spinach and cheese.  i'm going to have a yogurt and that's about it for the night.  sorry for my bullshit.

(The Journey)

what happened?

man, i was on it for a minute, then it all went south somehow...maybe the details of the weekend just derailed me, i don't know.  no good excuses, that's for sure. 
anyway, today i had yogurt with blueberries mixed in and peanut butter toast for breakfast, i had six garlic parm wing dings and a chicken pastalillo for lunch and i had a perch salad (just perch atop a green salad) and potato soup for dinner.  probably going to have ice cream for dessert.  that's all for today folks

de-caffienated

2 days without coffee...no sir, i don't like it. 
but things change.  i can try anything, and learn from experience if it's for me or not.  one thing for sure, i am good with changing having all my urine-producing meds at the start of the day.  THAT change is doing me some good, i reckon. 

today:
breakfast - strawberry yogurt and peanut butter toast
lunch - 2 slices of white pizza, soup and a side salad
dinner - fish, zucchini and mac & cheese.

apple pie tentative dessert. 
yow. 

changing things

back to working on it with more gusto, i suppose.  breakfast today was oatmeal with dried berries and a blueberry yogurt.  breakfast on weekdays is going to be a much lighter affair before i leave home, as even 'small larger' (does that make sense?) meals tend to have too great an impact on me.  anyway, lunch was 2 fish tacos from Long John Silvers, still working on giving up beef and pork.  dinner was Chinese, chicken and garlic sauce, egg rolls and hot and sour soup.  just had grapes for my snack. 

where's the beef?

man, wendy's used to have the best commercials.  

so, i'm giving up beef and pork for now.  it's time.  need to start working harder on some gout resolution.  plus, i've known for a while that the diet has to modify as i get older.  just goes with being black in america, i guess...

anway, today i had a piece of bread with peanut butter and a cup of yogurt.  that was breakfast.  for lunch, i had a salad and a chicken philly wrap from the food truck.  the wrap, not my salad.  for dinner i had two chicken salad melts, open face, and a can of chicken gumbo soup.  i've had a muffin for dessert.  i feel good enough, but the morning will tell the tale.  

change gonna come...

sugar-free banana pudding pictured...it was horrible, but it was sugar free, except the wafers that is.

anyway, i change gears starting tomorrow.  going to start dropping some of the intake, volume-wise as well as content.  more on those developments later.  meanwhile...

breakfast:  sausage, eggs and toast
lunch: the Nexus soup
dinner: chicken, ribs, dirty rice and mixed greens
dessert is pictured.

had a sugar free ice cream bar and half an apple as well today.  not as bad as it could have been.
