June 29th

Started my day off by trying the Turtle Chex Mix Bar. It's practically a candy bar. Higher in fiber, sure, but also higher in sodium. Ended up lunching on Taco Bell after hitting up Hollywood Video. Enjoyed three crunchy tacos and a Fiesta steak burrito. Didn't realize they came with sour cream, but I still enjoyed. The rice helped. And giving away many tortilla treats to the pup made it all the more interesting. Put off dinner. Heated up a half dozen spicy wings and shared some microwave popcorn with Sis. She'd had a day.

June 28th

Enjoyed my leftover baked potato with plenty of oleo. Later heated up a couple ribs when I realized how the day was going. Sis hit the store, but later than expected. I had 5 spicy wings and we shared a container of chicken caesar salad. I believe during the day I had a handful of Starbursts. But the topper of the day was a large piece of white sheet cake. Sis hit it again.

June 27th

Didn't eat 'til we got back from the concert around 5 p.m. Chris 'n' Pitts though, so it was worth it. Grabbed a couple of Sis' fries. Had some roast beef from the combo plate but really focused in on the four ribs. Also had a small dinner salad with blue cheese dressing and 1/2 loaf garlic bread. Popped about a half dozen Starbursts. Later snacked on a bowl of microwave popcorn. Thought I would also have some string cheese but it didn't taste quite right.

June 26th

Heated up two green quesadillas for lunch. Followed them with the last of the caramel apple cookies - 2 and a broken off bit. Snacked on Starbursts throughout the day, eating about 18 altogether. Sis brought home cream puffs from work. I devoured them (5). We both had Hungry Man meatloaf dinners. The brownies on both spread to where they weren't supposed to be. Mine wasn't so bad, on the mashed potatoes, but Sis' was gross, all mixed into her corn.

June 25th

Sis had a doctor's appointment regarding her hand. Carpal tunnel syndrome. She's on Advil and using a splint. Lunch was an order of taquitos and one chicken tostada. Finished the 1% milk, about 16 oz. worth with Fruit Loops. Had a bowl from Sis' bag of microwave popcorn then a 14 oz. container of Caramel Cone ice cream. So tasty.

June 24th

Mixed up some salsa with Mexican blended shredded cheese and scooped it up with a number of Mission chips. That was lunch. Didn't have dinner until late. Two beefy hot dogs (not Ball Park) and most of a Pasta Roni Parmesan.

June 23rd

Had a mixed bag for lunch. A couple corn tortillas with leftover enchilada beef, shredded cheese and diced tomatoes, a drumstick and 4 chicken wings. Snacked on 3 caramel apple cookies. Dinner was another round of tortilla fun and a small salad with tomatoes, yellow pepper and black olives added. Ate another 2 (or 3?) cookies while watching Horton Hears A Who. I had to pass to container to Sis to avoid eating any more of them.

June 22nd

Heated up a fried chicken thigh, five chicken wings and some leftover black beans and wheat rice for lunch. Very filling. Snacked on three caramel apple cookies. Didn't bother with dinner 'til late. Made a tortilla treat using 2 flour, some Mexican blend shredded cheese and leftover enchilada beef with onions. Very tasty. Then when Sis was home, settled and main coursed, we both had double servings of strawberry shortcake - finishing off the supplies. God, I love real whipped cream.

June 21st

Woke up with a long list of things to do. Spent the morning arranging and cooking and waiting - high anxiety I tell you. More Starbursts throughout the day. No clue how many I had but it was a lot. Guacamole and chips, two beef enchiladas, wheat rice and black bean dish, small green salad with yellow peppers and tomatoes, margarita, strawberry margarita, a game of Risk and strawberry shortcake with real whipped cream. It was a full day. Had the house back around 6:30. Napped. Woke up hungry and had 8 wings and 2 apple, caramel (store bought) cookies.

June 20th

Cleaning the house for Father's Day. Oy! Had 2 breakfast lean pockets, then a bunch of Starbursts. Dinner was grocery deli of chicken thigh and drumstick, wings (4 or 5, I think) and potato wedges. My body ached for rest.

June 19th

Had a leftover green quesadilla for lunch. Sis arrived unexpectantly late, around midnight. Snacked on 8 Starburst. Talk and shuffle before getting frozen dinners in the oven. Stouffer's salisbury steak with gravy sauce, mashed potatoes and mixed veggies - green beans, corn and pepper bits. Went to bed way late.

June 18th

Got out and about in the afternoon so picked up lunch at El Taco. Two crunchy tacos and two green quesadillas. Sis picked up dinner from Panda Express, fighting HS graduates and their families all the way. 2 rangoon, order of fried shrimp, mandarian chicken, BBQ pork, noodles and shared my fortune cookies with the pup.

June 17th

Enjoyed a turkey sandwich on wheat with a slice of American cheese, pepperoni pieces and mustard. Apparently it was a good thing I didn't look too long and hard at the whole loaf of bread... Sis tells me this morning that it was turning. Dinner ended up being Chipotle because Panda Express isn't as kind in their hours of operation. They like to close up shop at the risk of losing customers. No problem for me. I enjoyed my carnitas bowl with corn salsa, black beans, cheese, rice, guacamole and plenty of lettuce. Yum! And now I feel better about dining there, after seeing the World News report on the owner and happy pigs farm.

June 16th

A ball of fuzzy fur of nothingness. Wasn't up long before I was ready for a nap. It lasted for hours. Had my raisin carrot muffin (with oleo) around 5 p.m. Chatted with Sis and she wasn't feeling so hot either, though her symptoms were more specific. Difficulty swallowing. Sis arrived late and got me going. I was hungry just incredibly lethargic. Ended up having the 3/4 of Cobb salad from Mimi's that I didn't have the night before. That was 10:45-11. A couple hours later Sis and I both had the lemon cake she bought at Ralph's. It was good, better than I expected actually.

June 15th

Started my day with Nature Valley granola bars - Pecan Crunch. Made it last longer than I should have, I'm sure. Fixed a cheese and pepperoni floor tortilla as a snack. That held me over for dinner. Ordered from Mimi's the appetizer dish of spinach and artichoke dip that comes with butter toasted bread. So good. Had about a fourth of a Cobb salad, minus the onions. I did eat all the avocado though, because day old avo is gross. Also ate one white bread loaf and one slice of carrot raisin bread that came with. Full and bloated.

June 14th

Leftovers for lunch. Sis and I split up what was left of the El Taco. Had 1 1/2 green quesadillas and about a 1/3 or so of a bean and cheese burrito. Definitely snacked on a grape fruit bar after getting some physical work done. Frustrated with dinner choices, we kept putting it off. The old English muffins kicked us into gear. We each had one, mine were topped with butter and bing cherry jam. Dinner ended up being two hot dogs and a shared cans of pork & beans and corn. Topped that with a couple scoops of Butter Pecan ice cream.

June 13th

Stayed up too late, got up too late, ate late. Late, late, late, is all I ever seem to be or feel lately. Ha! Very late lunch of El Taco and JITB. Two chicken tostadas and a large chocolate shake. For dinner I had two quesadillas. Now I can't remember if I also squeezed in a fruit bar or not. Ugh!

June 12th

Not much of a morning or afternoon. Ate a couple Omaha hamburger patties around 7 p.m. Dined with Sis around 11 p.m. Before she arrived I had a grape fruit bar. With her I enjoyed half of a large order of fries, 5 chicken nuggets and one fillet o' fish.

June 11th

Waited too long to eat. First meal was two corn dogs and a large brownie. A few hours later Sis was home from work and we were eating homemade nachos with black olives for dinner. That was around 11 p.m. Still. I need to get a better schedule.

June 10th

Very pooky day. Woke up early, Sis out the door for DDS appointment. She came back with breakfast. Split an El Taco egg, bacon, sausage burrito. We both also had our own green quesadillas. Never had lunch. Too blah. Dinner was another green quesadilla with 2 hot dogs and a brownie. 3 moves.

June 9th

Woke up ravenous. Ended up settling on two breakfast Lean Pockets and the last chunk of cheddar cheese. And that ended up being both breakfast and lunch. Snacked on a handful of caramel popcorn. Blah. Another snack of a grape fruit bar. Dinner with Sis - homemade nachos with black olives. I made birthday brownies for the pup, even though Sis and I ate 'em and pup had herself a big ol' pig's ear. 3 moves.

June 8th

Had some V8 with vitamins in the morning. That ended up being breakfast and lunch. Dinner was a chicken breast (KFC) and grape fruit bar. I thought I'd have something else when Sis got home but that was after 2 a.m. and I'd already fallen asleep. Real louse of a day.

June 7th

Ate a package of Pecan Crunch granola bars while sitting at my desk. Phone call disturbed my day causing a major time gap between my breakfast snack and eventual dinner of leftover pizza. Had the last four slices of John's favorite and one slice of black olive and sausage. I ate it in two rounds just to avoid over stuffing.

June 6th

Skipped breakfast again. Leftovers for lunch. Tasty leftovers. More KFC - thigh and wing, plus the last of the mac and cheese. For din-din Sis and I ordered a pizza delivery. I had three slices of 'John's favorite' that is pepperoni, sausage and six cheeses, and one slice sausage and black olive. Later Sis scooped us a couple bowls of spumoni ice cream. I discovered it's really not my thing.

June 5th

Started my day off with a lot of Corn Pops and 12 oz. of 1% milk. Sis arrived early to head to LB for D/S pick up. I spent time out and about. Ended up picking up Sis and the pup and then Panda. Chow mein, mandarin chicken and BBQ pork. No extras. I did finish my meal.

June 4th

Passed on breakfast. Not feeling all that well. Bloated. Finished a plate of mac & cheese and KFC for lunch. Drumstick and thigh again. Late din-din with Sis. I think it was around 11 when we were finally eating. 3 tacos. We did the ground beef with taco seasoning packet. Cheese, tomato and lettuce/romaine to top.

June 3rd

So wanted to talk myself out of making the mac & cheese but after listening to a little of the Dr. Phil show I had a change of heart. Very late lunch was a turkey sandwich with a slice of American cheese. The bread was the generic wheat and it tasted like it. Also finished off the cheddar chunk. Probably 2-3 oz. Dinner was aforementioned mac & cheese, healthy scoop, and some KFC chicken. Don't know if it was original or crispy. Their crispy hasn't been that crispy for years now. Anywho, had a drumstick and thigh, my favorites. Sis and I finished off the marble sheet cake. Boy does the pup love her some icing.

June 2nd

It took me a long time to finally eat something. I snacked on the last 8 gummi treats, but didn't have the last of the deli until it was about 7 p.m. 1 tender, 3 or 4 wings and a few potato wedges. Sis arrived around 10 and we shared a can of bean with bacon soup, fortified with a couple of hot dogs. We also had a corn dog each. Then cake. The flowers weren't evenly distributed so Sis asked for some of mine. She and the pup got 'em.

June 1st

Started my day with Raisin Bran, even though I didn't need to. Approx. 12 oz. of milk. For dinner I started with two leftover green quesadillas, larger than most. Then I heated up some leftover deli: potato wedges, 2 tenders and 6 or 7 wings. Worked on DVD and VHS collections and skipped drinking anything for too long. By the time I hit the studio again I downed two sodas boom-boom. Enjoyed another slice of marble cake.

May 31st

Stayed up way too late again. Such a bad habit. Throws off my whole day. Lunched on my last plate of leftover spaghetti. Finished off the garlic bread too. The box of Texas toast really worked out well. Snacked a little bit on more of the sugar-free gummi treats. Dinner was Albertson's deli. 3 tenders - harder than they needed to be, 7 wings and some potato wedges. Closed the day out with a corner piece of marble cake. Why do I love buttercream frosting so much?
