WEEKEND REPORT
Felt hungrier than usual on Saturday, I suspect the calorie deficit was larger than just a few 100. Didn't officially count calories, but was aware when possible -- breakfast of two pancakes (420 cal) instead of three, replacing a third with 4 slices of bacon (200 cal) which soon became six (for a 720 cal breakfast, with a skew to fat and protein rather than just carbs) Spent the day with Edie, riding up to the Little Red Lighthouse, and scarfing a plate of salmon and rice from a food truck for lunch. Made homemade pizza for dinner with MAP as a special guest.
Did Jim Lehey's no-knead 24 hour room-temp rise pizza dough, shockingly good and flavorful. Why haven't I been making this version of pizza dough forever? The dough uses 1/8 the amount of yeast I'm used to, so when left out at room temp for such a long time it only doubles, not a big overblown airy mess. The depth of flavor made by the fast fermentation is a revelation.
Sunday was chill. Had tea then rushed out to get Edie in the open air before going on a mass run of destruction. Ended up at the local diner for breakfast, shared a corn muffin and some bacon and a diet coke for me, and lunch at home -- 4oz of whole wheat pasta, 4 oz of shrimp, home made sauce, about 550 cal or so. Single serving of shrimp, double serving of pasta, hmmmm. Had a nice snickledinner with HVS & the fam with rice & beans, some CSA salad and some vegan sweets trucked in from HVSland....
THE COUNT: 2580
AM SNACK: 7:45am, iced green tea, 25 cal
BREAKFAST: 9:15am, steel cut oatmeal, banana, 500 cal
AM SNACK: 11:30am, momma salad, 85 cal
Knew no veg was going to come with lunch, so threw down some carrots to help with the feeling of fullness.

LUNCH: 12:30pm, pork katsu with curry, shredded cabbage, white rice, pork gyoza, water, 1 bite of a mochi, +/- 850 cal
Out in midtown with an old friend, at Sapporo. Total guess on the calorie count, but skipped 2/3 of the huge lump of white rice on the plate, and left feeling not that crammed up.
DINNER: 5:45pm, grilled chicken breast, sauteed spinach, gnocchi with homemade sauce, water, 960 cal
Large piece of thin cut chicken breast, 4x the suggested serving of spinach and 1x the serving of frozen potato gnocchi. Despite that, the gnocchi had 3x the calories of the spinach, but on the plate, it was a huge cover of chicken, a big-ass pile of spinach, and a quite little lump of potato dumplings.
EVENING SNACK: 8:45pm, peanuts & chocolate chips, 160 cal
There are not very many peanuts or chips in a 160 cal serving, but I ate it slowly and in 15 minutes it felt like enough. It was maybe 1/4 what I'd usually eat as an evening snack, but I was aware it was pushing me over my 2500 cap.
EVENING SNACK: 9:15pm, 8oz diet sprite, 0 cal
