Valentines dinner a day early

Dinner is a treat 😊

I think I over cooked the steak, I bought rib eye steak. 🥩 got the meal ready for when Kim walked in the house, 🏡

Got a few chocolates from my mom that I gave to Kim

Steak 🥩 got twice steaks but for a hand palm size I cut them into two so I actually got four steaks. 🥩

I BBQ 🍖 the meat and had it ready with uncle Ben’s rice.

Read a book 📕, cleaned the kitchen table did dishes after, loaded the dishwasher.

So today is my first day counting calories and making sure I eat enough protein. Mostly in the morning so I’m more mood conscious than usual. Protein is the best hunger solving food, so I ate a cup of cottage cheese this morning and that seemed to improve my day.

These are my macros more fat than I wanted just the right amount of protein and a little less on the carbohydrates.

Yeah using the free version is best for me, I get the ads anyway the stats look some what good at the moment.

Meal planning came about last night from a podcast I was listening to, and a conversation that night with my dad.

I planning the week worth of groceries and made sure I had enough meals planned.

I sautés some mushrooms 🍄‍🟫 and onions 🧅 and cabbage 🥬 with olive 🫒 oil for after lunch around 3 pm cut up some bacon with it and fried that in the same pot

That’ll be my lunch for the weekend.

Over all it’s been a good 😊 plan, I bought $150 worth of beef jerky to supply kim and my protein for mid day.

Over the next few weeks It’s been over all a good process.

I’ve read his book actually I got it as a book 📕

Listening to a quicker podcast on it the podcast is long one at 3 hours but better than a 12 hour book 📕

It sounds like you've had quite a productive and enjoyable day! Cooking ribeye steak on the BBQ must have been delicious, even if it was a bit overcooked. It’s great to hear you're focusing on your macros and planning meals for the week; that can make a big difference in maintaining a balanced diet.

The combination of sautéed mushrooms, onions, cabbage, and bacon sounds amazing for lunch, too! And stocking up on beef jerky for protein is a smart move.

It's interesting how inspiration can come from various sources like podcasts or conversations, and it seems like you're really taking proactive steps with your meal planning and calorie counting. Keep it up! 👍

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour 🏃‍♂️

Dixie and I go for a run 🏃‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead. I think it was the hill climb that did it. I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time. For a hill run 🏃‍♂️ It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️ I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

Walk mid October with my Mom

Walks with my mom The water looks like glass just crystal smooth. My mom and I are walking to the river and in life. It’s like we’re always walking away. Getting closer to the end, my poet mind says. I say I got to enjoy these walks and I was silent most the walk just trying to enjoy 😊 my time with her. Or walk end more so with 🐾 paw printed pants 👖 from dogs jumping. We say maybe a dozen dogs 🐕. A wonderful time. I often thought it was too early to spell like alcohol. But surprised to pass another walker, but each to their own I probably smell like an ashtray. Although I never smoked or chewed tobacco on my walk. I just want to walk with my mom. Often times I don’t think I could spit out everything I wanted to say so much so that I just said in these moments you don’t have to chew tobacco and say anything. Dixie and both us individually by the fallen tree arch. A path going to the river, under which most the trees 🌳 there are...

Walk and a run in to the vet

Another adventure for Dixie, she is an expensive dog….🐕 We enjoy 😊 our walks. Up top of the coulee you can see the university Sonny and I go walking the south side dog park, it tricky terrain for sure. It’s nice 😊 for the scenery I think, yet a bit treacherous at times. A person has to be careful let alone a dog 🐕 being careful. Here is Sonny and I smiling giving a thumbs up to the camera 📸 The walk was decent though some difficult 😞 parts for today, Dixie is on a 14 day hiatus from walking. She’ll probably want to go sooner rather than later. I think we’re stuck to just five minute poop 💩 walks than the hour or two hour walks we usually do. I’m unsure when it happen but my guess is near the end of the walk when I noticed it. Dixie gets to close to the bushes today, I kept looking her over but noticed a different spot on her at the end of our walk. Dixie goes through some bushes and gouged a piece out of her. Now Dixie has th...
