I worked a lot this weekend, and that's about all I did. Ate out most of my meals, and I was good for most of them, but one or two were rather bad.
Weight: 301.6 lbs
Body Fat: 42.2%
Water: 44.6%
In other news, I feel more hydrated today than I have in several mornings, so woo hoo.
Work time is now. Break your backs and crack your oars, Fatheads.

Long Day, Mild Failure
Day started well, had basically the same Nutrisystem breakfast I've had the last 3 days, unfortunately, it was the last one I had in the hotel, and all the other food is at the apartment... where I have no utensils of any kind, yet.
I was on the road all day, had to deal with multiple government offices regarding new license/tags/voter registration. But all that's done, so I don't need to worry about it any more. Based on past experience, I would have tried to put it off, but my old vehicle registration from PA was expiring soon, so it didn't make sense. I picked up lunch at Burger King amidst this, had 2 double cheeseburgers and a large fry. Less food than I ate yesterday, but not enough less, obviously.
I spent the rest of my day running to a hardware store to get some protective feet/mats etc. for my furniture and exercise equipment. This took a significant portion of the day, and I ended up ordering some Jimmy John's delivery to the apartment, so I could continue placing some mats/unpacking a few things/cleaning/disassembling some of the owner's furniture for storage. I ate a Club Lulu and a bag of BBQ Chips. If you're not familiar with JJ's sandwiches, that's a turkey and bacon sandwich. I ORDERED that, another bag of bbq chips, and a Gargantuan, which is a sandwich of many Italian meats, sauces and seasonings. I felt I should have something that I could actually eat as a meal on hand in the apartment tomorrow.
I have to get up very early to get back to the apartment and prepare for the movers to be there tomorrow. I am out of breakfasts here at the hotel, so I'll probably get a sandwich (or a donut) when I go to get donuts and coffee for the movers. Tomorrow isn't going to be good, diet-wise. I won't have cooking capability until at least tomorrow night, and I'm going to be so busy with unpacking that I'll probably just get delivery of something for dinner, and eat the gargantuan for lunch. Maybe I'll try and split the sandwich between lunch and dinner.
I'm tired, I'm babbling, so I'm going to bed. We shall see.

Fatness at Lunch, Frugality at Dinner
So, Lunch went poorly. I was at the apartment meeting/photo-documenting the condition of the apartment prior to my move in far later than I'd intended, and I was ravenous on my way back to the hotel at 1:30 for lunch, and stopped at Wendy's, where I ate:
A double cheeseburger, a large fry, 10 spicy chicken nuggets with ranch, and large Diet Coke.
Yes, because the diet coke makes up for all my sins.... Ah, fuck. I arrested this downward spiral with a penitent's dinner.
So, I'm not Saint, but carrots (vegetable), light ranch dressing (fat) and 8 oz of non-fat milk (dairy) is not what I would call pigging out, either. This doesn't excuse my earlier behavior, and, if I were hungrier, I'd probably eat more, but I'm still mostly full from lunch. I might have a serving of slim jims (protein) for dessert.
Tomorrow: DMV, maybe IKEA, definitely hardware store (for felt feet for furniture, fffff), massive cleaning effort to make up for previous tenant, making sure I have proper things to eat while working at the apartment. Tonight: going to brew a hotel pot of decaf, snap into a Slim Jim, and feel good about afternoon Target run for basic household essentials and their unpacking/distributing in the apartment (toilet paper, cleaning supplies, garbage cans, etc.) and whatever is on TV on Wednesdays that is not completely terrible (meaning I'll read a book).

Breakfasting, Moving Progress
Good Morning! and it is, indeed, a glorious morning. I'm currently enjoying a fabulous Nutrisystem breakfast, but, before I describe that, allow me to share with you the snackings of my people.
Last night, as anticipated, I chowed down on about 3 protein servings of Slim Jims after dinner. Is this the best thing I could have eaten? No. But, considering I was considering abandoning a Nutrisystem dinner and walking across the parking lot for a Baconator from Wendy's... I'll call this one a win, and I'll win even harder today.

Speaking of winning, I again ate Nutricinnamon Squares Cereal for breakfast this morning, that's already down the hatch.
I'm continuing my method from the road trip of consuming my cereal from Solo cups, and using one of my Nalgenes as a measuring bottle. So for sides, I had some Diet Coke, a slice of mutli-grain bread (carbohydrate), a juice box (fruit) and 8 oz of non-fat milk (dairy).
You know, I appreciate the newspaper the hotel is giving me, and I appreciate even more that there's still some way that the newspapers are getting revenue from physical product, but I really don't understand one practical concern with the damned things: how am I supposed to read this and do anything else? I mean, I understand that there was a time in history, some magical far-off place, where people could spend time every morning JUST reading the newspaper, but for me it's always been a while-you-eat proposition. Given that, I'd much rather deal with being one of those people eating breakfast over their laptop so I can get my read on while I eat than try and wrestle with a paper and knock over my precious caffeine.
I've got an exciting day ahead, as I'm getting the keys to the high rise condo I'm renting today. I got a really sweet deal on one that's downtown in this city, and I can't wait to make my long-anticipated return from suburban living. Of course, the furnishings I'm ready to install pretty much boil down to a cable modem and a folding chair, but that's OK! Just having a place with my name on the lease again is fantastic.
I love my family, and I'm eternally grateful that they let me live with them during my transitional phase, but it's incredibly demoralizing to have to live at home as an "adult", especially when you've already lived on your own post-college.
Now, with breakfast completed, on to the shower ritual and the commute that is the opposite of what I will normally be doing.
