Day 96

NEVER AGAIN!!!

This evening, I got on the scale, and, am heavier than I have ever been, in my entire life.

I took a picture of the scale, and may, possibly, post it here, just to let you know what six months of incarceration has done to me. Needless to say, I/we have begun doing something about this.

We have not stopped eating, because that is just not right. What we have done, is stop eating so much. By we, I really mean me. I am so bored, the only thing I do is eat, watch stuff on my iPad Pro, drink, and sleep.

We only go outside once a week, to buy perishables, and Tequila. Down here, no alcohol is sold Friday morning through Monday morning. So, one has to plan accordingly, or one has several sleepless nights, waiting for Monday. Sad, but true.

Instead of two over-easy eggs, with four strips of bacon, four ounces of cheese, and salsa on two beautifully charred flour tortillas for breakfast, I now only have one egg, scrambled, with onion and garlic powders, and nutritional yeast instead of cheese, (it has a cheese flavor), one slice of bacon, or whatever meat is available, and one beautifully charred corn tortilla; about half the calories, fats, etc. We will see.

Plus, for lunch, instead of two, or three, quesadillas, with cheese, pulled pork, and salsa, I have a large tossed salad, with about fifty grams of cottage cheese, two cherry tomatoes, one slice of Canadian bacon, (it is what was in the fridge that needed eating), and Ranch dressing, about two tablespoons. For dinner, it is whatever comes to mind, at this point- a quesadilla, a pulled pork taco, or a scrambled egg with toast. Much better, I assure you.

Will it work overnight? Not in my lifetime. But, as I have told many of you ad nauseum, lose the weight before you are in your fifties, much less your sixties. It is so hard for me, at three weeks short of sixty five, to lose weight, or exercise, which is exactly what I told you. Learn from my mistakes.

As I continue on this journey, stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Cover your mouth, wash your hands, stay vigilant. The virus is not even close to being through with the world. Do not believe you are immune. You are not. No one is.
