Meh ... Day 20

Current frame of mind ... 

Currently, there is nothing I want more than to get ALL of that pineapple crap completely out of my person. I slept okay. I woke up in a poor mood. That mood has continued, even now, at 2:05 pm ... I am full of agitation, stress, anxiety, and all for NO REASON AT ALL ... Nothing happened. Nothing. On top of that, I put on two pounds in one day? Seriously? What exactly did they put in there? No, I'm not obsessing about weight. I'm just annoyed. I know it will vanish. I just am not comfortable in my own skin right now. I am bloated, irritated, and just stuck in the middle of a Munch painting. Yuck. 

The Saturday hunt-and-gather session was especially stressful, again, for no reason, because the store was deader than usual for a Saturday. However, I guess it gave me a lot of insight in things that then make my brain think that I need SNACKKKKKKKKKKKKS. Got to test that theory not once, but three times on the way home, with three other stops at locations that all house snacks. URGH!

I did really good, though, all things considered, and came out of it only partially scathed. One Cherry Coke Zero Sugar, and a bag of Smokehouse Almonds, still unopened, and NO salty or sugary snacks purchased or consumed. 

It was an odd day ... it's also the weekend, so I have no delusions that I won't eat more than usual. I do know that I'm getting tired of THINKING about all the things I want to do and not just DOING them. I also don't know how to address the loneliness I feel. I lack the social skills, clearly, to form lasting friendships with more than one or two individuals at a time. I probably border on being antisocial, but I have zero knowledge about that type of personality. 

On a more positive note, I have read approximately eight pages, plus the intro, of the book. Again, reading makes me very drowsy, so it's going to be slow going. 

I did do some kitchenesque experimentation later in the evening because I felt snacky, but wanted keto. I got a new muffin tin with 12 compartments, so I was able to try the pickle chips again. I even was so bold as to try onion rings, as well. The pickle chips were exponentially better than the onion rings, and I'm not sure how to get a better coating on the onions, or actually what to make them in, but it's an experiment in progress. It might just be that you have to do the standard dunk-and-bread system with onion rings. Pickles are easier to wrangle. 


I think it's also going to make a great breading for chicken tenders, especially in the air fryer. I'm also wondering if a bit of almond flour might result in a different texture ... with just cheese and Pork Panko, it was still a bit chewy. See also, our oven is some 17 years old, so circulation of heats within the baking compartment is probably less than optimal. Even at increased heat of 375F it still took probably 25 minutes to get here. I did shut the oven off at 17 minutes, though. I'm curious, next time, to see what happens in the air fryer. 

That's enough for this day. I need a new one. 


Day 20 Progress

Weight: 209

What I Et: 

- The morning coffee 

- Three eggs with a splash of heavy cream, formed into a half-functional omelet shape with one piece of Land O' Lakes American Cheese. 

- One Sargento string cheese stick 

- The Afternoon Coffee 

- Cherry Coke Zero Sugar

- 1/3 of a top sirloin and a side salad with dump ranch

- Some French-fried onions

- I'm sure I had some Elote almonds, but I can't say that with 1000% certainty 

- Five pickle chips and two onion rings 

See, I ate a lot (especially fat/calorie wise). I just didn't care.
