A pretty simple day. Up at 7, out by 8, on a ferry to Sandy Hook at 8:15, 9 to 12:15 road down to Seaside Heights, 1 to 5 back, with a half hour goof-off in Asbury Heights, where a few friends were renting a house for the weekend. Between their hang overs and complaints about mild weather (which was PERFECT for cycling), I think I got the better end of the deal. Home early enough to see Edie all happy and some couch time with B before bed.

Cookin' for fun
Woke up at 4 after 6 hours of sleep and couldn't get back to sleep. Got a lot done before lunch, a few recipes, laundry, Rufus to the vet and other chores. When B & E went down for a nap, I found myself failing and fell asleep too. I woke up to find them gone. I tried to watch TV but felt restless, so I went into the kitchen and cooked some more, just because it was fun. A bad movie on tv then to bed early, not a bad day.
TODAY'S COOKING
Tomato Sauce: A little too much balsamic forced me to balance it out with a bit of sugar, which resulted in a big flavor. Hmmm.
Lame Potato Salad: B made me make this, pretty run of the mill. Replaced dried tarragon with fresh, quartered the potatoes after boiling, eh.
Goldfish crackers: Used this recipe, came out pretty good. Used all whole wheat flour, and didn't have any onion powder. Used a sharp, sharp Australian cheddar that gave these some character, The commercial stuff has relatively few ingredients, too, though they use a blend of vegetable oil instead of butter, and their cheddar is so....generic. These had some oomf.
Pumpernickel loaf: Threw everything in the bread machine. Good thing I didn't go out, because the dough looked too dry, so I was able to slip in a half cup of water while kneading and it came out ok.
Granola bar crumble: Gotta apply the binder while it's still hot and press it quick -- the brown sugar recrystallizes and is an important factor in helping bind -- I let come to room temp and had to shatter it out of the pan and into another, silly.
AM SNACK: 5am, iced green tea
BREAKFAST: 6:30am, fruit smoothie, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
LUNCH: 11:15am, 1 fish stick, health salad, potato salad, 1 ice cream square, water, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
PM SNACKING: 3-6pm, goldfish crackers, watermelon, an ice cream square, granola, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
DINNER: 8:30pm, small bowl of ziti with sauce, a pickle, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5

Expected
228--->230.2--->227.4
The weigh in this morning brought expected news: my weight has not significantly changed the last month. My weight regimen continues to see results, with various muscles feeling harder and stronger, and dare I say it, slightly bigger. Not enough for people to notice yet, but if I keep on this track, maybe within a year... Think I'm going to increase the weights to the next increment, as I'm not getting particularly sore from the lifting lately.
AM SNACK: 7:30am, iced green tea
BREAKFAST: 8:45am, good yogurt with vanilla, honey and almonds, a few bites of watermelon .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
Cut up a bunch of watermelon for Edles -- not quite in season yet, but didn't stop Edie from wolfing down a ridiculous amount.
LUNCH: 12:45pm, 2 slices pizza with sausage and onion, 8oz sprite, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
LUNCH 2: 3pm, 2 slices sicilian, 8oz sprite, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
B stopped by the resto by surprise, and the pizza jumped down my throat.
PM SNACK: 6pm, 1 meatball
PM SNACK: 8pm, green salad, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5
DINNER: 11pm, brown rice California roll, pork tamales, chocolate cheesecake, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
A nice end-of-work-week meal from the Wholefoods shopping.

Memorial
I weighed in this morning out of curiosity, as a lot came out the last few days but little went in. I weighed 224 this morning, I wonder how much I'll be on the 1st when my system is closer to normal.
Mellow Memorial Day. Took Edie out in the morning to the local parks, and by the time we got back for a nap, B went out to the movies with friends. After nap and a small lunch, we hopped on the bike and explored playgrounds a little farther from home. Spent most of the eve on the couch, still not 100% from illness, but close.
AM SNACK: 9am, iced green tea
AM SNACK: 10:30am, a few pieces of ruggelah
LUNCH: 2pm, cheese steak, water, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
DINNER: 7:30pm, egg roll, cold sesame noodles, ribs, 1 can coke, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
EVENING SNACK: 11pm, 5 squares of dark chocolate

Illin'
Oy. So I woke up sometime in the morning and my body evacuated quite thoroughly -- I was feeling a bit sick to my tummy all night and was relieved to get rid of some of the pressure. I had 0 appetite, a dry mouth, and between a lack of energy and a soreness from the previous day's ride, I could not do much other than lie on the couch or lie in the bed. Good thing B had Edie covered or I would have suffered a lot more.
I slept on and off all day, and forced myself to eat a few pieced of ruggelah in the afternoon. My appetite came back late, and a full tummy helped me get to sleep.
PM SNACK: 3pm, 5 pieces of ruggelah
EVENING SNACK: 1am, tortellini with olive oil and parm, a few pretzels, a lime ice pop, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
