29 October 2007

Breakfast: I boiled Kathie's left over steak (from yesterday's lunch) and had this with a couple of eggs and two slices of sour dough toast. I kind of screwed up the taste of the steak and it didn't have enuf time to get tenderized as I had hoped...

Lunch: Kathie did her Lions District Governor visit to Lakin Kansas where we ate from the buffet: I had:

1. roast beef
2. turkey with dressing
3. nice mashed potatoes
4. an excessively salty brown gravy over everything
5. a roll with butter (I noticed the packets of grape jelly too late...
6. a very small piece of choclate cake and
7. a large glass of ice water.

I didn't want to add to our host's costs by asking for a soft drink.

Snack at work: One of the fellows had brought in choclate cake and I'll confess to eatting two slices. I will also confess to feeling bloated and slightly ill afer each and I don't know if that was due to the cake or just a touch of hyperglycemia?

Oh, well, my A1C is in a month and is mine to have fucked up...

Dinner: A Marie Callender's_® Fettuccini With Chicken & Broccoli (Chicken Breast in Creamy, Alfredo Sauce) and a can of D.P. This has just not been my day for going low on the salt...

After dinner, a bag of Boulder Canyon Natural Food "Malt Vinegar & Sea SaltPotatoe Chips" and some water.

28 October 2007

27 October 2007

Breakfast: We went to the "Hitching Post" where I had

1. One egg over medium (I ordered two but got one and got charged for two...)
2. hash browns
3. whole wheat toast with grape jelly (another no-no for me...)
4. a hamberger paddy and
5. a couple of cups of coffee that wasn't too bad (good actually...)

Lunch: A "Pappa John's" all meat pizza (well, my half was all meat and Kathie's was meat and awful shit like mushroom, black olives and chunks of onion> and a can of D.P. (of course...)

Snack: Some ice creamme and dark choclate left over from yesterday...

Dinner: A piece of boiled/fried boneless skinned chicken wrapped in a slice of sour dough bread (with low cal mayo), "Cheeze-Its" and a can of D.P.

Pre-Bed Snack: A gin-n-tonic and half slice of sour dough bread with peanut butter.

26 October 2007

Breakfast: ^®Aunt Jemima Pancakes and Sausage, coffee and a can of D.P.

Lunch: A piece of boneless, skinned chicken, boiled/fried in it's juices (it was partially frozen when I put it in the pan) and the whole thing between two slices of sour dough bread. I also had some crackers (I'll have to upload a picture of the bag) and a can of D.P. Not too bad

Snack: I walked on the treadmill for 15 minutes and rode the bicycle for 15 minutes. This may not sound like much but given that it is the second time I've worked out since breaking my ankle (physical therapy does not count!), then I feel pleased with this. Feeling low sugarry, I bought a small container of vinilla ice creamme and a bottle of dark choclate syrup and had some. I felt better... (duhh, no shit???)
Dinner: Salad from Dillions, with "chicken" and slices of some kind of sausage; when fried, this "sausage" isn't too bad but it is nearly inedible when "raw". It turns my stomach so I had a piece of sour dough bread with peanut butter and a little bit of vinilla ice creamme. And I wonder why my blood sugar was in the ridiciuos range two hour later?!?!?

Desert: A couple of gin-n-tonics. I have a simple logic for deciding to have a gin-n-tonic or not after testing my blood sugar. It is:

If the level if "good", celebrate with a gin-n-tonic.

If the level is "poor", have a gin-n-tonic anyway

If the level is bad, chastise myself, promise to do better and What the fuck! What have I got to lose tonight? Have two of them gin-n-tonics...

And to think I used to get so disguested with my Father for doing something similiar (save he had "Old Fashions") a decade or so before I was disgnosed...

25 October 2007

Breakfast: Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowls Sausage Eggs, Potatoes, Sausage & Cheddar Cheese plus (what else?) a can of D.P. and a couple of glasses of coffee...

Lunch: Left over rice pilof, cooked with low sodium chicken broth and with chunks of chicken added (I had boiled the chicken in the broth) and being thirsty, two (2!) cans of D.P.

My wife asked what I wanted to do for dinner. I suggested making

1. two veggies,
2. baked fish and
3. "Something else (i.e. fruit>

Her counter proposal was "let's go to Applebys and you can have a salad. You like Appleby's salads. (This is in recognition that nearly all salads made in town turn my stomach)

I counter with "I can have fahetias{sp}. (Another bad choice but much better than the salad-and-barf choice!)

Lunch: Left over rice pilof, cooked with low sodium chicken broth and with chunks of chicken added (I had boiled the chicken in the broth) and being thirsty, two (2!) cans of D.P.

My wife asked what I wanted to do for dinner. I suggested making

1. two veggies,
2. baked fish and
3. "Something else" (i.e. fruit)

Her counter proposal was "let's go to Applebys and you can have a salad. You like Appleby's salads. (This is in recognition that nearly all salads made in town turn my stomach)

I counter with "I can have fahetias{sp}. (Another bad choice but much better than the salad-and-barf choice!)

I guess we'll discuss this later...

Dinner: Applebys for a steak, loaded badked potatoe, onion rings, a strawberry dachheria and (God Help Me!) a Pissweiser -er- Budweiser since Appleby didn't have

   Dinner: A boneless pork chop boiled in beer and then steamed with sour krat and sliced (canned) potatoes. I also had a can of D.P. It tasted good going down but an hour or so later, my stomach was upset. I ended up chewing a couple of Pepto Bismol "tabs" and expect to drink some "Pink" when I get home. I just remembered putting a lot of dried, old dried, onion flakes in with this and I think that upset my stomach. Just think, I have the other half waiting for me to eat tomorrow night...

It tasted good at first, say the first half. Then, it suddenly tasted way too salty and I wasn't sure I could finish it. I was hungry and managed to finish; now I'm wishing I'd taken a break from eatting and left the rest outside for the pleasure of the neighborhood dogs or (more likely) the neighborhood raccoon.

Now, I'm wondering if this'll be a barfing night but I'm not too sure of that...

I will definitely have a Healthy Choice meal tomorrow night!

Snack: A bit of hamberger on bread, toasted in the oven on broil. It was undercooked, which I found out after eatting the first bite and I cooked it again in the microwave. It must have been fear of e coli that gave me diahrehia immediately after finishing this...

Vir Koto

I woke up with vomit in my mouth and finally went and did the finger- down-my-throat routine. It was a simple matter of my stomach being too full and not emptying. I had to empty it "manually".

4 October 2007

Breakfast: One (1) South Beach Diet All American breakfast wrap and a can of D.P.

Lunch: This was the office luncheon:

My beef stew as taken from a recipie on the internet and modified a bit...

1. homemade corn bread
   
2. homemade rolls
   
3. homemade aspargius, almond and something else casselor
   
4. homemade choclate ice creamme
   
5. excellent store bought vinilla ice creamme
   
6. two cans of D.P.
   

I was afraid folks would not like my stew (this has happened in the past) but it was completely eatten. It may have helped that I brought in pastic bowls with maybe 3 times the holding capacity of the office's paper bowls...

It was expensive but worth every penny I spent!

Even the office anarexic (a man!) ate two helpings (albeit small) of the stew. Nothing says "good shit -er- stew like an self starver taking seconds...

Dinner: haven't decided yet...

3 October 2007

Breakfast: Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers^™ Chicken Margherita (White Meat Chicken With ANgel Hair Pasta & Roasted Garlic In Balsamic Vinaigrette Sauce), coffee and a can of D.P.

Lunch: French dip and Freedom French Fries and a couple of glasses of "Diet Pepsi" at Casey's Cowtown on Trail Street in Dodge City Kansas...

Dinner: 3/8_s of a "Medium" Pizza from the house pizza place at the Wallmart "Super" Store and a quart (32oz) of "Miller"...

2 October 2007 (really late entry)

Breakfast: Probably Aunt Jemima pancakes and sausage plus a can of D.P. and coffee...

Lunch: I seem to recall I had a Healthy Choice meal and a can of D.P.

Dinner: It might have been the Appleby's salad and water...

Pre-Bed Snack: None...it was a "test my blood sugar night" and I would have tested right before going to bed...

1 October 2007

Breakfast: Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers^™ Grilled White Meat Chicken and a can of D.P.

Snack: A bag of popcorn around lunch time...
Lunch: Some stewed beef between two slices of sour dough bread, corn crackers and a can of D.P. around 1:30 PM (after I got home from work).

Snack: A piece of no sugar added pumpkin pie and a chunk of no-fat "whipped creamme"...

Dinner: I took two chunks of frozen boneless chicken (breast and something else), microwaved them to thaw them and boiled them with "fat free" beef broth for over an hour. Then, I added the left over rice pilof from last night.

Side effects:When it had cooked for a while, when I looked at it and saw a sheen of fat on the surface. My immediate reaction was "I'm going to be blowing chunks an hour or so after I go to bed." Yes, it had that appearance of a meal that would turn my stomach.

Having put the food into this mess, I resolved to eat it anyway. After all, the rice pilof by itself almost never turns me stomach. I just figured I'd be in bed and would have woken up before Kathie got home from work and would have blown chunks before she got home.

I ate part of this meal but didn't seem to have much appitate. I perked up when I had the last small piece of
no sugar added pumpkin pie with a scoup of no-fat "whipped creamme".

I didn't vomit after going to bed; I vomited about 20 minutes before I went to bed...

vomito ergo sum Roughly translatted from Latin: I vomit, therefore I am...

Not my idea of fun...
