DW's primal journal

The latest results of my Reducto spell. Complete with bad photoshop shades lol.

 

Looking good....

 

So last night I didn't so much fall off the wagon as took a swan dive off of it. Not the first time but normally I don't fess up to it. Sunday nights the Mr. goes to hook up with his buddies at some sports bar (which is probably guyspeak for titty bar lol) to watch "the game" and drink a few beers. Gives me some me time to rot my brain on whatever I can find on Netflix, and eat something he doesn't like, like salmon or Banza 'n cheese.

It started out ok, coffee, blackberries in cream, a salted avocado, couple pieces of bacon. Had a Tanka Wild buffalo stick, half a handful of pepitas. 4 oz smoked salmon. Square of Chocolove dark choco with crystallized ginger in it. Then another square. Fuck break off 3 squares. The road to hell is surely paved in chocolate. And salty stuff. Handful of pepitas. Twice. Butter knife swipe of almond butter. No water at all and only 1 tea. In need of some self shame I stepped on the scale and it spat back a number 10 pounds higher than it did at 9 AM. What the hell, in for a penny in for ten pounds. Rest of the chocolove bar. An entire tube of Ritz freaking crackers I discovered in the cabinet. After that I sugar/carb crashed, hard. In bed by 9 pm.

The Ritz box is still sitting beside my desk, not ready to take the walk of shame to the trash can with it just yet.

Strangely I'm ok with it. *shrug*

Today's brekkie was 2 eggs 2 pieces of bacon. The usual herbal coffee but without cream this time. Lunch is going to be an odd experiment, going to run a carrot, some celery, kale and spinach through a juicer, then dump the juice back on the macerated veg, add a tablespoon of homemade mayo to get it kinda dip like, and then spread it on celery sticks. Dinner will be Zucchini Noodles with Cilantro Lime Chicken | iFOODreal And I've already drank my two water bottles and am on tea now.

 

You look pretty darn good DW.
I'm certainly no medical pro. But it stands to reason that if you keep the excess weight off, you have a good chance of avoiding a lot of issues such as diabetes and undue strain on your back, hips and knees.
I had a friend about 10 years ago with a very overweight teenage son. The kid was already complaining of pain in his knees and ankles. If he doesn't lose weight, you can imagine what a wreck his body will be by the time he's 35 or 40.

 

Is that red hair??Hmmm... See.. I am an old man..

 

LOL I thought you guys knew that by now.

Update, hrm. I am sorry to say I seem to be stuck in a holding pattern over the last six months. Between multiple injuries and the Mr on a crusade to sit next to me eating popcorn, pie, Doritos, and everything else under the sun (willpower isn't my middle name, that would be cheesecake), I've found too many excuses to slack, and am where I was the last time I updated. I should go back to journaling everything here... it's about the only thing that kept me from doing more than just eyeballing the taco flavored Doritos he has on his desk.

 

I spent most of the summer on the couch with my leg in a brace, propped up, with an ice pack on my knee. Knee was bending the wrong way, tendon was stretched out or something, doctors can never agree on anything. I decided to just park it for a while to let it heal. It's good as new now though, so I need to quit twisting off.

 

Twisting a beer cap off, you perv

 

Looking good.

 

Congrats... next tine hubby sits down and tempts you just stick him with a hatpin...

 

Back on the wagon.Still in the same jeans I was in back in March, but they've gone from falling off to borderline tight when they come out of the dryer. The Mr has been issued an ultimatum. The next time he brings home cheesecake, chips, key lime pie, or anything else I've asked him to keep out of my sight, I'm giving my mom his cell number and telling her he has an embarrassing health problem. He went fifty shades of white at the thought.

Also let me be the voice of experience here to any primal followers who are still stocking up pasta and flour and beans. Stock up plenty of GasX. If you start eating it again, you will find your tolerance for it is gone and you will bloat up bigger than Obama's ego. You'll also feel like shit in short order. You've been warned.

The plan for today is....
Breakfast: coffee w a shot of cream (literally a shot glass)
Lunch: chopped avocado and tomato with salt
Dinner: grilled pork shoulder steaks and loaded mashed cauliflower (1T butter, 1 oz cheese, 1 strip bacon, green onion, 200g steamed cauli, take a stick blender to it)
iced Earl Grey tea

10 min cardio, MMA warmup workout, will do another 10 minutes this afternoon. My hip isn't letting me last longer than that this morning. All good until I go to roundhouse or back side kicks, then it starts to complain.

Hey, does my Glock make me look fat? I got a new holster. Jeans aren't TOO tight... the weight of this thing is pulling them down.

 

Nope does not make you look fat .....
And
The Glock is on the wrong side

 

My left hand no workie on large caliber.

 

Does my glock make me look fat!

Girlfriend, no man in his right mind will say, 'yes you look fat' when you strap on a Glock. Just sayin'

 

LOL the Mr would say, no but your ass does.
no he wouldn't but i'd laugh if he did ha
