How do I Feel?


Another "yo-yo" day with a lot of hunger in the afternoon.  Read on for more details.





Meals for Today:


Breakfast - Omelet with Bacon



My wife tells me all the time that I'm not very original.  I keep doing the same things over again.  She's got a point if you've been watching my breakfasts. It doesn't matter because I like it. 

Lunch - Leftover Cajun Chicken with Potatoes and Peppers



This was pretty good again today.  The spices didn't come through as well as they did last night, but it was still good.

Dinner - "Paleo" Pizza



Here's today's highlight.  We were supposed to have chicken and broccoli stir fry but I was jonesing for pizza.  Belle suggested that I look up a recipe online and this is what I came up with.  If you've been following along, you know that I'm not real big on doing the dairy side of the Paleo thing.  The crust was a coconut flour/almond meal mixture that you have to pre-bake before topping.  I didn't have pizza sauce so improvised with tomato sauce and Italian spices.  The meats were leftover breakfast sausage and pepperoni. If you're interested in the original recipe, you can find it here.  In terms of ending my pizza craving, it did okay.  The crust needs a little work, but it will do in a pinch.


Snacks:


  • grapes
  • apple
  • 2 squares dark chocolate


Exercise for Today:


I got my steps in today by finishing the day with a 1.48-mile walk.  That put me at 12,217 steps as of 8:00 PM.

Daily Summary:


As I mentioned above, I got really hungry this afternoon.  I was able to stave it off by drinking a lot of water.  I didn't really get sleepy or tired, just big-time hungry. 

Stats for Today:


The weight yo-you continues as I gained .6 pounds at this morning's weigh-in.  That puts me back at 93.4 percent of my monthly goal.  Let's see what tomorrow brings. 
Location: Lynchburg, TN, USA

Corregidor Island, Manila Bay, Philippines

Last March, we took a trip back to the Philippines so my wife could visit her family.  It's been a couple of years since we've had the chance to see them and they hadn't had an opportunity to meet Zachary.  The wife's family lives in a suburb of Manila called Taguig City.  So while on the trip, I took a couple of days to slip away and visit Corregidor Island in Manila Bay. Before we get into the trip, let's look a little at the history of the island.

Jack Daniel Distillery - Lynchburg, TN

This may be an obvious post, given that we live in Lynchburg, but the Jack Daniel Distillery is a neat place to visit.  Holding the distinction as the oldest registered distillery in the United States, is the location where every drop of Jack Daniel whiskey is produced.  The history of the distillery is interesting as well, as Jack Daniel was an actual historic person.  Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel was born in 1850.  The exact date of his birth is in some dispute. Jack was one of 13 children born to his father Calaway Daniel.  His mother Lucinda Cook Daniel bore 10 of those children prior to her death. Calaway Daniel remarried, but apparently Jack did not like his step-mother.  After his father's death in the Civil War, Jack ran away from home at the age of 7.
