Small Changes and Large Impacts

By -
Every now and then Rok and I will realize how much our diet has changed. We'll eat a donut and think, maybe not another for a while. Or we'll take a lick of ice cream and not want to finish the rest of the cone massive cone. Or we will think about how we have gone down from using on average a big block of cheese, two loafs of bread and three boxes of pasta to using a small block of cheese one loaf of bread and one and a half boxes of pasta. Our diets are slowly getting better but I think the fact that it is so slow is going to help us keep the changes in the long run.


Today I weighed: 208.1 lbs


Yesterday I ate:
> A partial bowl of Olive Garden fettuccine alfredo
> A small bowl of salad from Olive Garden
> The rest of the salad
> The rest of the alfredo


Yesterday I drank: 40ish oz of water

I thought I gave too many examples of small changes but I could go on for a minute about the changes we've made without really noticing that we were making them. Anything chocolate is almost always to sweet. Soda taste like corn syrup. Double stufed Oreos have to much stuffing. The list goes on.


Stay cool.

Cooking shows

By -
I really like watching cooking shows. I'm not sure why, I don't plan on ever making the food they do, but there is something about watching skilled chefs make beautifully delicious looking food. Rok also enjoys these show so that works out really well for us. More recently we have started to watch more cooking channels on YouTube. We now watch Binging with Babish and Bon Appetit. I used to watch Hellthy JunkFood, but recently their content hasn't appealed to me as much as it used to. We also watch the Great British Bake Off on Netflix, but unfortunately Netflix doesn't offer many other cooking show options that I can find. I have been curious to look into Chef's table but we haven't gotten there yet. Today I weighed: 213 lbs Yesterday I ate: > A 22 oz Aloha Pineapple smoothie from Jamba Juice > ~1 1/2 cup of buttery noodles > A yogurt cup > Two peanut butter and honey sandwiches > A slice of white bread Yesterday I drank: 84 oz of water...

Some Thoughts on Various Things

By -
I can't really think of one thing to blog about today. I could blog about FMA vs FMAB, but I don't think I have enough to say to fill out a blog. I was thinking maybe I could blog about Rok's present again, but I feel I have said a lot on that already. I could blog about Gods again, but I also feel I have said a bit much about that. So I decided I would blog a little bit about several things I am thinking about today. So here goes. I think that FMA the 2003 version has a better start then Brotherhood does. I feel Brotherhood skips over a lot and rushes through to where the stories really depart. And I feel there is some merit to that but I don't feel it was done very well in this case and I didn't appreciate all of the sudo-comedic scenes, they were too cartoony and I think they didn't fit well with what I was expecting from Brotherhood. It also gave me a feeling that the director figured you had already seen the 2003 version so they didn't need to flesh e...

Tiny Cat Kidneys

By -
Our cat Monty has been getting over a kidney infection. As such, I had the privilege to learn how difficult it can be to make a cat swallow medication. We also had to learn to administer a subcutaneous fluid drip every few days to make sure he stays properly hydrated. Fortunately, he's been recovering well, drinking his water and eating his expensive, new medicated food. We took him into the vet today to make sure he's totally back to normal, but now we have to wait for a urine test to come back. At least we got his vaccinations and stuff renewed, so that's good. This morning, I weighed 195.8 Today I ate ~Three small chocolate covered muffin tops ~A pull apart twizzler ~Half a bowl of cheesy pasta from Noodles ~A cat mug of ice cream ~An Amy's pesto tortellini bowl ~Two slices of cheese pizza On an unrelated note, I've been cleaning up our kitchen and I'm hoping to keep it that way this time. I suspect a tidy kitchen will make cooking less of a cho...
