My weight loss journey has been going pretty well I suppose and a lot of this has to do with me realizing that this takes time and isn't going to happen immediately. I have been doing the new diet of sorts for about 10 days now, and it depends a lot on whether or not I have eaten recently or not but my weight is down about 3.5 to 4 kg after just 10 days. For all the people using pounds out there this is 8.8 pounds, in 10 days.
I only "cheated" once in the past 10 days and it kind of proved to me that I cannot control myself when alcohol is involved. The night was supposed to consist of me going to a friend's house for chili but then some stories came rolling in about how a mutual friend was really drunk at a nearby bar and this particular person is a lot of fun when they are drunk so I went to go check it out, that bar lead to another bar where a friend was lamenting his recent breakup, and that bar lead to me going to another bar, drinking even more, then ordering a pizza and a BLT for late night food.
I worked extra hard the next day on my run to compensate for it but it was kind of an eye-opener to me about how "a few drinks" doesn't exist in my world.
To address the title of the post I'll let the picture do some talking for me.
I have destroyed the pig scale in under a week. I only had 3 days of tracking before this happened. Well, it would be more amusing if I was too fat for the design of this scale but that is not what happened at all. I was moving it to another part of my apartment while also carrying laundry and set it down a bit to rough. I kind of halfway dropped it and the edge made contact with the floor and the entire thing immediately shattered. As you might expect it no longer give accurate readouts. I've already ordered another one and this time the top will not be made with glass, which is a really dumb thing to make the top of a scale out of anyway.
Next up is what I am eating. I wouldn't say that I am sick of the salads but when I do find something that I like, i tend to order it until I hate it, and that is what has kind of happened with the salads from Mesala.
So I walked over to the nearby butcher to see what they have on offer
I don't know a great deal about beef, but I do know that the more expensive ones tend to be the better ones. This one was around $5.
I have an air-fryer that I was using like crazy before but then the enthusiasm wore off and I wasn't using it at all. I put that juicy cut of meat in there for around 6 minutes with one flip, then ghetto cooked a potato in the microwave for 6 minutes as well. I have a ton of sour cream of the UHT variety so it never spoils, which doesn't say much about the chemicals I am putting in my body but hey! We need our food to taste good, right?
This is the end result and of course I have my little stalker there that is really really really really interested in what is on that plate. Don't worry, I always give her a bit of it.
We watched an episode of Pantheon, which is an OK anime series, then cleaned up and because of the 10k that I did earlier, 1.5 km of which Nadi did with me, I was pretty tired and was in bed by 9pm.
Talk about a healthy day huh?
I also went to a bar yesterday and just drank Coke Zero and this was pretty easy to accomplish because I don't particularly care for the people that I was meeting there. They are part of the bowling group and I felt obligated to go. For me, not drinking alcohol at a bar was the biggest accomplishment of the day.
Right before bed and the last time that the piggy scale would function in its short lifetime, my weight was 93.6 kg. This is pretty good considering I had just eaten a ton of food. I would tell you what my weight is in the morning today, which is the best time to check your weight, but well, Piggy is dead.
