i had some chicken that i sort of nibbled on this morning as far as breakfast went, and 2 shortbread cookies from the Boss on the bus.  lunch was a lovely chicken sandwich, rotisserie chicken, spinach, tomatoes, provolone and cheddar cheese on 12 grain bread with black bean soup and some chips.  dinner was leftovers from yesterday.  three chocolate chip cookies.  a swiss roll at the parent's house.  still grazing some, but not as bad.  just had to get it in and down. 

Grazing...

not sure what yesterday was about, but i have my thoughts on the matter.  regardless, it wasn't a bad day, just a constant day, of a sort. 

i had leftovers for breakfast on Wednesday (which this covers), five garlic-romano wings and a yogurt.  also a spoonful of peanut butter.  for a snack (timing wise, see the Journey for details) i had the last half a salsa-provolone chicken breast on one piece of 12 grain bread.  for lunch i had a catfish sandwich (sub) and a few fries.  for dinner i had meat loaf, smashed potatoes and cabbage, with cookies for dessert.  i had an apple before i passed out.  not a horrible day, but i seemed to be hungry throughout the day.  goes back to some original training, avoid the H.A.L.T.s (hungry, angry, lonely, tired).

gathering

well, today was good.  it could have been better, but at least i didn't go out and buy trouble today, so that's good.

breakfast:  a two egg mess, which included one small shredded potato, onions and peppers and a super blend of veggies (including kohlrabi, brussel sprouts, bean sprouts, carrots, kale and some kind of cabbage) and a mushroom, with a piece of toast with sugar free jam.  oh, cheese on the mess.

lunch was a piece of salsa chicken breast and a slice of bread and a yogurt.

dinner was soft tacos with a variety of meats and pico de galla and guacamole and queso.  i also had a half chicken sandwich and a small bowl of potato soup later in the evening. 

i had three cookies today, which was the 'could have been better' part of the day. but there you go.  yum all around.

Time Now.

okay, back on the grind.  not going to keep neglecting this, because it is neglecting myself, and that's not cool in a minuscule amount even. 

for breakfast today i had two eggs, the last of my salisbury steak (one) and grits.  for lunch, one and a half slices of pizza and a piece of fish.  for dinner, Spanish-style black beans and rice, chicken wings and corn bread.  just finished a yogurt for my snack.  i feel okay, i'm not bloaty full and i am ready to shut it down.  thank you, Father.

The Journey

day 365, day one approaches...

i'm justifying nothing today.  i'm leaving a list behind, and then i'm getting back to personal responsibility.  it's the only way forward momentum continues. 

today i ate scrambled eggs, sausage links, rye toast and hash browns.  i ate a huge slice of lemon meringue pie and a filet 0 fish sandwich.  i ate a breakfast cookie.  i've had pizza and cake.  i'm pretty sure that's the full list.  i ate things i wanted but not in huge amounts.  i was responsibly irresponsible, and that's something new for me, but it is the truth.  now, i have to get back to being responsible and disciplined and do away with the 'irresponsible' thing.  it's time.  thanks for a year down, a half century in and whatever days remain.  i am blessed.

coulda been worse....

didn't do as bad as i thought i might today.  breakfast was an omelet and toast, the omelet was chicken, spinach, peppers, onions and cheese.  for lunch i had Indian buffet in Niles, so i know there was chicken and broccoli and rice, and some other vegetables, and some na'an bread.  for dinner i had two chicken fajitas, with onions and peppers and spinach and cheese, kinda like my omelet.  again, i thought i would have done away with myself today, but it's okay so far.  we'll see what tomorrow brings when it gets here.  laters...
