Roast of beef.

.

Nothing fancy, nothing extra.  Searing the roast on each side, well seared.  Adding water then putting it in the oven... all in a cast iron dutch oven, with a lid on for the in-oven portion.  An half hour, it was a smaller roast.  Then fifteen minutes to cool, out of the liquid.  Slice a chunk off, maybe two, then eat at leisure.  A bloody roast, delicious.  I'll probably have another piece.

While doing this, I am watching a movie.  Some sort of Sherlock Holmes mystery, a recent movie, as if Holmes had retired, was nearing his end, but wanted to clear up one last mystery, one that had eluded him.  It's a good mix.  I think I will have one more piece of roast and finish the movie.  Funny, if not in a comic sense, watching a man head into infirmity... after having walked out of that myself... mostly... comparatively.  There were decades when I couldn't... remember.  Some say I still can't.  I suspect they are merely hoping.  How many knew Christ was telling the truth and denied to His very death.  The false, when faced with the truth, are murderously fearful.  That trick really only worked with Jesus, and only because the Trinity decided to allow it... for very specific reasons.  It won't work with Christ again, or any of the mechanisms which will be put into play, even long before the return.  Or... so I very strongly suspect.

Food seems to help though.  Beef just does a body good.  I saw a vid by someone who was around my size and has lost a great deal of weight.  He is still a brute, if older.  I get these things.  I am as well.  He went his way, my guess because he had a woman and child weighing him down into 'that' direction.  Even if the woman didn't have influence... if I doubt that... just having her around pollutes the masculine.  Well, it's sort of supposed to work that way.  It just isn't my problem.  I'll stick with what works for me, and that is meat.  He went his way, and it is working for him.  Anyway, just thought I'd show the vid.  It has some things of interest in it.  Excess.  Yes, I... understand.  And I do understand, even as things stand, having no interest in sweets, carbs, cake, etc.  Like I said, when plain yogurt tastes like candy...  My tastes have reset.  If I do need to do that again.

Oh, something else he notes?  You really can't work AND lose weight at the same time.  My trick is how to hold down the house while I fast, for example.  The deal might be to do three day fasts just once a week, say over the weekend... either starting Friday or Saturday, depending on if a schedule element requires Friday or Monday.  And just, literally, take the weekend off, down.  It's brutal to try to work through that, initially.  The rest of the week, go back to daily fasting.

Yeah... I... fell off things, sort of.  I have been keeping mostly to high fat low carb, but fasting has fallen away.  I had way too much to try to do, so that fasting was wiping me out.  I think I can get back to it, but I have to keep up on water removal, potassium, vitamins and minerals generally, and even the compression socks.  Ugh but it is murder.  Still...  I think I can.  To be fair to me, I have lost 80~100 pounds from my worst, at 350~370.  It's just that I would like to drop another... hmm... 60~70?  Something like that.  And I am guessing my health is much worse and has been for far longer even often untreated, I am alone (pluses and minuses to being alone, but if she is on your side she would be a major plus), and I don't have the kind of expendable income to bring a housekeeper, cook, etc. in... or that is probably the case.  Still, I might be able to get through some of this.  I just have to be reasonable with food when I am working.  It's a tricky thing.

I am pretty sure I'll get there.  I am trying to figure out how to place an order at Duluth Trader, for a smaller belt.  When I get to having to put holes in that one too, I will order the next size down.  I... I think I'll get there.  My own way, but I won't know someone who has succeeded to that point.  I might even suggest some people have to do things differently.  Thank God?  Yeah... maybe.

Later.
