From a diet perspective, the worst thing about hangovers is the cravings for greasy/salty food the next day. When I was getting together with dad for lunch and he suggested burgers, I was in without thinking.

Our VP took us out to lunch to “celebrate” Jeremy’s upcoming surgery to have his Gallbladder removed. I definitely could have found a better option, but I really do love those tacos.

Stonefire caught me off guard. I ordered the “Lemon Garlic” Salmon thinking it sounded much healthier than the “Sesame Glaze.” Instead, I found that the Salmon should have been named “BUTTER garlic w/ a hint of lemon” Salmon. I ate as little of the sauce as I could, but it took something I was hoping to be a 500-600 calorie meal and pushed it into 4 digits.

Live and learn (to eat better) I guess.

I need to eat more often for less calories per meal. I also have to start waking up early to eat breakfast. This rolling out of bed to rush to work isn’t working.

“And then they stopped smiling. The corpse they saw in the weeds by the roadside was a rusty cylinder with bits of glass – the remnant of a gas-station pump.

It was the only thing left visible. The few charred posts, the slab of concrete and the sparkle of glass dust which had been a gas station – were swallowed in the brush, not to be noticed except by a careful glance, not to be seen at all in another year.

They looked away. They drove on, not wanting to know what else lay hidden under the miles of weeds. They felt the same wonder like a weight in the silence between them: wonder as to how much the weeds had swallowed and how fast.”

Measurements

• Weight: 285.2
• Body Fat: 37%
• Waist: 50.75″
• Hips: 49.5″
• Chest: 49.25″
• Right Thigh: 27.5″
• Left Thigh: 27.5″
• Right Bicep: 18
• Left Bicep: 17.5

Took these a couple of days ago (30 days from when I started) but just got around to posting them. Of note is the fact that I find myself rounding to the nearest 1/4 inch for each measurement – i.e. I lost a little more than a 1/4 inch off my waist, but not enough to legitimately claim 50.5 and I didn’t quite gain a full 1/4 inch on my biceps, but it was well more than an 1/8th beyond my previous measurements.
