I pretty much followed through with the plan put up last night. Cabbage for breakfast -- meatless, with an assortment of other veggies -- two bowls full -- regular size bowl. Simple sandwich packed -- just some cold cut turkey on whole grain wheat. Funny thing -- sugar was right up there on the ingredient list. Third, I think -- I forget what was second. But 4g sugars per serving. Did most get fermented away? Also a frozen smoothie made a couple weeks ago -- mostly from cantalope. It was my late snack -- took that long to melt. I ate both outdoors. I'm not bringing food into the workplace -- kept it in my car until ready to eat. Nice, I guess, to have structured breaks, too. I spent more time at work than in a long time, but didn't get a whole lot done. I get a whole lot less done when I let the slow pace of everything deter me from doing anything at all.
Home I mixed an egg in half a can of mackerel, added some bread crumbs and hummus and used that as a binder for jullienned sweet potato, carrot, and broccoli stem. Not much seasoning -- I figured the ingredients would carry plenty. Made 3 large patties cooked dry -- for quite a while too. Kinda crusty on either side, but a decent texture inside. Not too fishy. I ate with some guacamole. Finished about 8:30. Maybe no snack tonight. I called my proto-sponsor and mentioned ground turkey as a snack. I guess I'm committed to that. That or nothing. Maybe some fluids instead -- some silk fruit drink and plain kefir. We'll see.
I did the post office bike ride. Filled the tires first. It does make one helluva difference.
Now to ponder tomorrow. I've a vague desire to get to the RTF trail day. But I never feel much like doing anything at all in the morning, especially that time of the morning. I think leftover Gen Tso for a quick breakfast. Not sure what could carry with me. I'd like to eat out if I'm going out, but not sure when this whole thing breaks up. I'll just take a sport bar I've kept around for such an occasion. Buffets are where I eat, usually. Cici's is out -- perhaps forever and ever. One of four indian options are my preference. Chinese has been disappointing, as far as filling my plate with veggies. American buffets, of which I only know Wood Grill -- most have shut down, are great for a healthy plate, as well as a pig out plate. If I have a buffet weakness, it would be smoked sausage. That might be a binge food thing in OA, like CiCis. I'm sure I can pass it up, with incredible regret, though. Potatoes are another tasty option I need to refuse -- I love french fries with brown gravy, or home fries and sausage gravy. Lately, I get the baked sweet and turn down the butter, brown sugar, and such. We'll see -- I'll probably go indian, anyhow. Late meal -- That will be the ground turkey -- some kind of ragout served over spaghetti squash.
I read the chapter in AA big book after Bill's Story. I forget what it's called, but talks mostly about the hopelessness of alcoholism absent God's intervention. I have to attribute spiritual transformation entirely to God's action. I was pondering today that His apparent inaction, though, is no excuse for mine. I remember a joke of a man refusing rescue three times, saying 'God will save me' -- he finally dies and asked God why he didn't save him. God responds -- I sent a bus and a cop and a boat, what more would you have me do?
