I was going to buy a can of sardines one time, but chickened out. Maybe I’ll take another shot.
Speaking of things that I’ll do for the sardine army, I got your movie. I haven’t watched it yet. There’s interest from the rest of the micro-family and I’m trying to find an open time slot.
Sardines taste like tuna to me so when you factor in mercury levels sardines are an easy choice.
I like sardines but if you really want to go sustainable/healthy/cheap then canned mackerel is the way to go. Like $1.19 for a 14.5 oz can of wild-caught mackerel full of omega-3. Does it taste good? Well no. I can’t eat it straight on crackers like sardines, but it’s pretty tasty in fishcakes. Canned pink salmon (real canned pink salmon with the vertebrae and skin, not that pansy ass boneless skinless nonsense) is second place in canned fish value.
Yea my dad was able to get off insulin completely by just losing weight. Type 2 is really treatable unless you’re really far gone - this guy sounds pretty far gone though. Like, gonna die within 5 years far gone.
Yes, that guy should get into fitness classes asap.
I want to hire you to hurt someone. Not because you’re buff, but because you look like you’d hurt someone for money.
179.2 lbs this morning. 996 calories yesterday, 265 from chicken breast and the rest from potatoes.
Gonna cheat today. Probably drink as well. OK if I’m saying I’ll probably drink today when I’m drinking my morning coffee then I’m definitely for sure 100% drinking, probably before the sun goes down. OK before 1 PM. All right I put some brandy in my coffee, so what.
That’s the plan.
No workout yesterday or today as I’ve been waylaid by a cold. Food has been kinds funky last two days thanks to Costco. About 3.5k cals a day. Maybe I’ll lose some weight with the cold. My sister in laws family eats at odd times, so probably doing dinner at 2pm. Costco had variety packs of 4 wines from Bordeaux for $35. Bordeaux wines are basically my favorite, so I bought a package to bring for Thanksgiving, one for an Xmas gift, and a third for me. I probably won’t drink as much as I was planning on account of the cold. Main goal is to get 2 hrs more sleep before noon. It’s raining pretty hard in so cal and the 30 min drive to Anaheim may be a challenge.
No Senora at the moment, part of what catalyzed all this.
We had those plates too when I was a kid. I think you both need to get new dishes because that was a looong time ago and those plates are fugly.
eta:
Today being Thanksgiving, I’ll say I’m grateful to have them!
I’m not sure what happened to all the old dishes I had stored before I moved back here, but the few that were left were badly chipped. I put them in the glass recycle. I found out later that’s a no-no and saw that someone pulled them out and left them out front where passersby could take them. I didn’t think anyone would want them but eventually they did disappear.
179.8 lbs this morning. Actually didn’t drink yesterday at all, but that’s mostly because the poker game I was expecting for yesterday afternoon and evening got postponed to today. So I’ll probably drink a bit tonight. Hard to estimate my calories yesterday. I put it down as 3 Swanson turkey dinners, 1 cup of ice cream and 1 piece of apple pie. So like 1,780 calories for the whole meal. But who knows. Then a 250 calorie bedtime potato snack.
I played ping pong for like three hours yesterday, which according to my phone burned like 1000 calories. I took my heart rate after a particularly energetic game and it was like 150. Which is not great. Maybe I should get some non ping pong exercise at some point.
180.8 lbs this morning. Mistakes were made, oh well. Back on the diet with less than three weeks to go.
Caught a bad cold and haven’t been to the gym since Tues, but feeling better and have a workout in 2 hrs. Drank a half bottle of wine on Thanksgiving, but that’s all over the long weekend. Binged TV yesterday (Lodge 49, which is excellent). Haven’t dieted over the last week but lost 1-2 lbs since Wed. because of the cold. (I’m still a bit over 300 lbs and don’t plan to report until I’m under 300, which will probably be a couple of weeks.)
Will workout and hopefully get some housework and chores done (and maybe some real work) today and get back on a solid schedule on Monday. Slept from 7pm to 4am yesterday, which is close to what I’m aiming for. 9pm to 5:30am would be ideal, but I’m a night owl and I only seem to stay on a “good” schedule for a few weeks before I end up looping around the clock. I just want to be where I get enough good sleep where I can handle complex work or reading for at least 12 hours in a day, or at least where I feel like I’m operating at a reasonably high level.
I’ve been on a no video games kick for a while and will hopefully sustain that over Dec. I kinda think video games are seriously evil, at least for me when I get deeply involved, as they just vacuum up thought and productivity. If I spent an hour doing doing philosophy and AI for every hour I’ve played video games over the last 15 years, I’d probably be making 500k/yr doing AI programming. Wasting way too much time on Trump and politics is bad enough, and hopefully I will lay off once he’s been vanquished.
I feel like I could give a decent answer in 5 pages or a good answer in 100 or a really good answer that reformulates economics and ethics in maybe 600 pages. But as I’m eating lunch and typing on my phone, I’ll just say I believe it’s possible to waste time even in the absence of a strict criterion, though I do not doubt the possibility of articulating such a criterion.
179.2 lbs this morning. 1,125 calories yesterday, 200 from salmon and the rest from potatoes.
