Food Log: January 16, 17, 18

Saturday January 16

Happy Birthday, A J Foyt

I am writing this two days later. I woke up with a headache possibly due to under-eating the night before. Around noon I ate a pound of shrimp with cocktail sauce, kale with Kimchi.

All day long I nibbled on pecans and pretzels.

I figured the day was shot dietwise, so around 7 PM I ate 3.75 Oz. sardines in Louisiana Hot Sauce (I will look up the brand later.) I also ate 3.75 oz. of Trader Joe's sardines packed in olive oil.

As I said, the day way shot so I snacked on vanilla cream wafers, pretzels, pecans, a  navel orange and even popcorn.

I thought of it as a wash but next day (17th) I would be three lb. lighter than the day before.

I drank black coffee throughout the day.


Sunday January 17...Happy birthday to Howie Carr, Muhammad Ali, Steve Harvey, Jim Carrey, Michelle Obama, James Earl Jones, Dwayne Wade, Betty White, Kid Rock, Steve Earle (I could have sworn his name was spelled Earl) Al Capone, Ben Franklin, Andy Kaufman...Those Capricorns are hard to keep down....also Happy anniversary B&D.

Black coffee, navel orange....2/3 orange a bit later.

Around 1 PM: 8 oz. turkey (out of mustard) kale with Kimchi.

Around 11 PM: small serving of popcorn, pretzels, 2 cups plain, non-fat yogurt with approximately 6 oz. pineapple.

Monday January 18

Birthdays. Maryland politicians score double with Elijah Cummings and Martin O'Malley...Most of the famous ones are deceased. Archibald Leach, David Daniel Kaminsky, Curt Flood, Oliver Hardy and Robert Anton Wilson.

Black coffee, orange in AM

1:30 PM: 8 oz. shrimp with cocktail sauce...(running late so I did not have time to prep Kimchi so I took two probiotic tablets from a jar.) Forget the sunflower seeds (sigh).

4 PM: Pear.

I had a hard time making time for dinner, so I snacked a bit. Black coffee, Crystal Lite with caffeine, 2 oz. pretzels. I ate a couple of peanut butter cookies. Then at about 8 PM I was able to eat two small servings of homemade chicken soup. At this writing (9:25 PM 1/18/16) I am hungry...Ate a few more peanut butter cookies.

I had to shovel snow when I got home. My plow guy will only plow if I call him first and I lost his #...It was on my old phone and now I cannot find the old phone...So I spent a half hour shoveling snow starting around midnight...Due to hunger and feeling a bit discomforted, I ate a roast beef sandwich (small, light on meat) and some popcorn, topped off with four ounces of gin...

Will reboot diet tomorrow.
