277

That last posting? The one in October that said I was buying new shoes? Yeah, I haven't done that yet.

269

is my weight today. It's creeping back up. I'm buying new shoes, some New Balance, tomorrow, and hitting the walking again every night!

264

264 is my weight and it's probably creeping up. I haven't walked in a few weeks because a bout with lower back pain got the best of me, and my diet is shot to 'ell. The mail today carried the results of my last blood work - the A1c, cholesterol, all that. But I figured there wasn't much point in opening it since I was headed to Molly's for supper anyway!

I'll tell you what it contains when I open it.

I got in a hearty walk Saturday at MyFella's, but the wind was cold and cutting, so I didn't push it any longer than I had to, but I sort of insisted on a walk after that wretched lunch.

Ate poorly all weekend, unless you count that I had 5, count 'em 5, home made biscuits that MyFella's dad made Sunday morning. Yum! They weren't very big though.

I'll be able to do better back at work. Grilled chickens and vegetables will be on the menu!

Saturday's slug burger

There are hardly words in my vocabulary to describe this culinary deceit. It is at the same time disgusting beyond normal words, and yet completely unidentifiable and bland. MyFella loves them, and so I tried it. After a few bites, I had to turn the sandwich to him and say, "WHAT is this?" It wasn't ground beef. It wasn't good. It wasn't bad. It just was.

It was a deep fried patty of something. Something without real taste or real substance. Something that tasted only because of the condiments on it. And perhaps because of that tasteless ness, it seemed all the more an affront to nature.

A quick search on the internet turned up some chats about it that seem to define it as made up with hamburger meat and lots of filler, predominantly soy bean but in the past corn meal or potato flakes.

Double ugh!

Oh, just for the fun of it.

That b.p. of mine just goes anywhere.

I'm sure supper last night of fried chicken strips and lots of pasta didn't help a bit.

With the additional fiber I've been trying to eat, I had three poops today. You know I hate pooping. I remember hating pooping all my life. But the fiber is supposed to help lower cholesterol. So there you go.

Had not walked all week. Between the bronchitis and sinus infection, coupled with the cold and rainy weather, I just had to pass on walking outside. So today I managed two 20 minute walks. Every little thing helps.
