Technically Frustrated ... Day 24

So, I got the pedometer, but not sure if it's working correctly. It's weird. It won't count anything, then all the sudden it'll jump up 10-20 steps, then stop again. It may go back. This 583 was me walking out the door, and all around the perimeter of the property ... I would think it would have been more than this, but I also could be wrong. I would just like something accurate. I don't think this is it. 

You don't know until you try, right? So, it just happened kind of naturally, with no plan in place. I ate last night, around 11:00 pm, and have not had anything but 2.25 coffees with heavy cream, and that scrap of cheese this morning. It's now 7:40 pm, and still not et. Maybe by 8:00 pm, we'll be eating dinner. He's having pizza; I'm not. 

I'm not hangry, or anything, but I've had a mildish headache for the past few hours. I did chew on about 1/3 of a beef bouillon cube, just to get some salt/mineral intake, and that took the headache down a few notches, but all in all, it's not been bad. 

Meanwhile, because when you're not eating, what else will you encounter on the internets but a ton of delicious-looking recipes, like this Spaghetti Squash Casserole, by All Day I Dream About Food: 

From her website - see link above

 I am a fan of the spaghetti squishes, so this definitely has potential. Would probably go great with some grilled pork chops, or chicken. 

This steak sand they made looks very similar to a combo of their Chicken Florentine chaffle plus the Faux Philly Cheese Steak thing I made earlier this week ... I can say it will definite be given a try. The soup doesn't even look half bad. 

So, yeah, all these fasting and OMAD freaks can keep it all to their merry selfs. It's just not something I'm ever going to be good at. I'm good with a 2MAD approach. It's what I'm used to, pretty much since Jr. High, and what I'm even better at, now, without the random all-day snacking (like yesterday). 

So, that all being said, I am fairly worthless when I don't get at least 5.5 - 6 hours of sleep. We were up so late, and yet, I was up so early this morning. It just all goes downhill from there. I managed to get a nap this afternoon, but it did nothing for my frame of mind. 

Tomorrow is Turkey Day ... Yay. At least we no longer have the huge gatherings at someone's house, where there would be all manner of carb- and sugar-laden temptations. It'll be just us and my parents going out for a Thanksgiving buffet, which will contain some format of meat, and a salad, so I don't anticipate real struggle. 

Sorry, nothing riveting, exciting, or otherwise noteworthy to report today. Just looking forward to bed. 

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and get to spend it with the people who make you happy, make you feel loved, and you have a great day. 

Day 24 Progress

Weight: 207.4

What I Et: 

- The morning coffee 

- A very small scrap of mozzarella cheese

- The afternoon coffee 

- Factor Loaded Bacon & Spinach Shredded Chicken with Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Ranch Sour Cream (and a large chaffle that you'll see in a minute ...) 

Misleading expectation 

v. 

Disheartening reality ...

Still disheartening after assemblage ... 

The flavor of the main course was fine. Just looked less than ideal. The Brussels sprouts, I could do without. Soggy Brussels are not my thang. Just throw some broccoli in there and call it a day. The large chaffle, so artfully folded is visible up there in the corner. Exciting stuff.
