It was 83, when I woke up, a bit before 23:00 up there. Or, no, must
have been a bit before midnight. Down here, it was 75 in the main, 78 up
front here, and a bit cooler further back. I opened everything up,
almost. The fed Sassy. The upstairs was already open. Until
I begin ac, that will just stay open.
Still, it's almost July, not a bad run without ac. But this has been an
unusually cool spring? Not terribly unusual. Well, we did have a
drop to 30 earlier in the month. So, unusual in spots, if not terribly
on the whole? More accurate than the lies the "weatherman"
presents. What do they have on all the weathermen? Or do they just
threaten their family? Most men break. Kill a pet, frighten a
child, have the cops completely ignore the threats and actions... they
break. Same with doctors? Probably easier to just slip doctors
extra money for certain actions. Though some lost their licenses, or had
to fight for them, so learned to shut up. Owned, all of them.
You would think, at some point, they would collectively begin to fight
back. But, no. Not yet, anyway. And I don't see that
happening.

Had a good discussion today. Sounds like conspiracy theory. It
really does. But it's... just the actual facts, ma'am. There are
others. That's good to know. And we aren't just... one sort or
another. We are... understanding what we are seeing. And it's not
good. We just don't have much power to do much about it. Save,
keep our own personal bacon out of the fire.
You can almost sum it up with the movie,
Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Probably either one. They
haven't started rounding us up, but they almost started that. And they
still roughly threaten it. In countries where they disarmed their
citizens, they did. China, Australia, and some others. Or forced
isolation.
Another thing might be to call it the mark of the beast. Or an analogue,
to see who would take it, and how easily they would take it, and what level of
pressure it would take not including military and police direct
coercion. How much would it take to break, say, seventy percent of the
population. It was a multitiered human psyop experiment. The human
race lost. And is paying. I'm just curious when the next major
rollout will happen.

Wound, they think, might be done in a month? I think my healing factor,
for new wounds, is... spectacular. But, if the wound is in a bad spot
for me, low circulation area, under clothes, under socks, then it takes extra
care. Though, when getting care, given my poor health conditions?
It still heals much faster than some. Some people can no longer
heal. People in similar conditions. To be honest, I think my
doctor was surprised this healed.
I just... get that feeling. They get a sense, about them, like they are
seeing... a miracle? Initially I was just another fubar headstrong silly
patient. Then... in two months I healed from wounds they slated for...
eight months? And my side, they expected a year or more. It is
still there, but mostly, really, it is gone. And the wound they didn't
think would heal, is a month from done, maybe two? They think a month.

Anyway, more steak tomorrow. I am thinking, with one of those a day,
every other day, and a cup and a quarter of cream, with intermittent
fasting... and half a ribeye on another day. As well as burger in on a
third day. Then eggs going? I can get in the real proteins needed,
see if that actually helps, and keep it all between 1.8k and 2k
calories? Giver or take. See if that... helps my world, life,
health, strength.
The numbers are still trickier than they seem. Because to get the right
grams of fat and protein (or what is wanted/asked), and fats, AND keep the
calorie count to a weight loss amount... while making sure that actually does
lead to weight loss? It is juggling eggs. And, I'd guess, even if
I can get up to that, and keep on top, it will be a moving target.
Moving target? I mean, what works today won't necessarily work
tomorrow. If "today" and "tomorrow" aren't actual days, but periods of
time... weeks, months, even years. I will have to adjust consumption,
ratios, and such. Both regarding weight loss, blood sugars, and even
just what I can eat.

Oh, but I have figured out my griddle, with thicker steaks. Sure, it's
mostly raw. But I get a nice crispy layer, and a bit of a more done
layer. Like a meat sandwich, with the crispy and done layers acting
almost like bread. My body tolerates the rawer beef in greater
amounts. And, at an inch and half thick, it takes a five minute
griddle warmup, and five minutes on each side. And that, my friends, is
a finely done rare steak.
I'll be picking up the sirloin tomorrow afternoon. The nice thing about
sirloin is it is a third, or so, the price of ribeye. Still not cheap,
but buying by the roast, and having them cut it, is... even a bit less
expensive. But two whole roasts is just a bit over a hundred, maybe
$120? Around there. I am curious whether I will be able to handle
a whole leaner steak. I'll be finding out soon.
And, there is a farmers market not too far away. Happening soon. I
just... want to see what meats they offer. Grass finished, fresh.
A couple of packs of burger, perhaps a chuck roast, and maybe a few of each
steak... if I can get thicker cuts, or set them up for later.

I do think muscle is... growing. That on lower levels of protein, say in
the fifty to hundred gram, per day, range. I can't wait to see the 150
to 200 gram range. Especially mostly from the meat and egg protein
bracket. I might... pull off miracles? We'll see. A solid
morning blather! Later.

I... like my night visitors.
Omer's market in Sioux Falls had 2-3 lb cuts of top sirlon (small roast or huge steak). Season, sear and slow... add fat (fat is flavor). I used to eat one-a-sitting, I could probably gnaw on one for a week now.
ReplyDeleteRare steak: Hobart, Tasmania, Ball & Chain"?" restaurant. One of the grilling options was "Blue"; Ozzie accent..." Oi' mate, blazin' hot barbie' sear, flip, sear, and serve." Inside still cool. Yum. Iroicaly the ship would do this about every month or so. Messcrank accent;" Yo! ya' take these fine frozen steaks, NY strip Baby! Shout Out!, You know they fine, looki't dis here USDA blue ink stamped all over da' meat!" Frozen hockey puck steak clatters onto the griddle, in all its ink stamped glory, burned black on the outside... still frozen in the middle. Yum???
Meal this last hour: Handful of cherries, 1/4lb bison burger, 1/2 can green beans, just enough sourdough to sop the juice. Yesterday a cup of yougurt, and maybe? started the burger? Doesn't matter, scale said 272#, twelve hrs ago.
Yes, well... I'm going with about half of Omer's steaks. These should be about a pound and a half per. The goal is to eat that pretty much daily? Not sure that is possible, currently. May have to work up to it. Though... will have to see about weight loss/gain, and scale accordingly. But it might actually be right.
ReplyDeleteMost Americans, Europeans, and most people around the world, are actually on or near a starvation diet. They aren't getting enough protein even to maintain muscle mass, or hormonal balance (male or female).
We have been tricked into eating far less than we should, and the wrong things to boot. I guess I'll be finding out shortly. Another fifty pounds down, then maintenance. But, too, added protein, a lot more fat, and no carbs. Only one way to find out. But what I am seeing, so far, has me siding on the believer side of things.
I have heard of, and had, the blackened raw, at a steak house in Iowa City. They called it a Kansas style? Or somesuch. One of that style they added hotter spices, called it a Cajun style? I do like those. My problem is my griddle doesn't really get hot enough to do that. The grill might? I... might have to try that, come to think of it. Both standard, and Canjun. Damned good call, Guido.
Dinner sounds good. You... might be able to get to carnivore before too long. Eat what you must, the slowly removed things, every other meal or so. Did you use buns? Just asking. Oh... that was the sourdough, duh. Okay. Though sourdough is, if done truly, a better option for breads.
As to weight? That's... not the best gauge. Measure your waist, midsection, thighs, biceps, chest, and use those as better gauges. The scale is a bastard. :p
No bun just burger, tore the first 4" off the french style loaf, used half to "clean" the plate, dogs will share rest.
ReplyDeleteAsked the "gatherer" part of the clan to pick up some whole whipping cream...
What they get... quart of half-n-half, quart of that gawd awful sweet "mixer" can't even call it cream, how about "dyed white corn syrup that has been in the same warehouse as some cinnamon& vanilla one time" finally a gallon of 2% milk. I so want to wake them with a big WTF? How do you get all that crap from "Whole cream?" (ya' know I would have accepted even a half pint of what I asked for) Don't get me started on sour cream, cream cheese, bagels... what part of PLAIN do they interpret as "onion,chive, fruit this, strange flavor that?" PLAIN! Like they intentionally get me what I don't want. Over the past 25 years when I ask why? "Oh I thought you'd like something different" Every... bleeping...time, like a goldfish, can't remember the last time.
"Oh yes, I would like something different... Stop with all this "flavored" crap and actually get PLAIN bagels and cream cheese for a flippin change, THat would be different!" "But you didn't eat what I bought last time" "No YOU didn't eat the "flavors" you bought... I didn't eat what you DIDN'T buy".
Moot point, as I don't do bagels anymore. Maybe as a nausea damper but she never gets PLAIN...so it is a moot point. sorry for the rant.
Lonely shouting a single voice into darkness.
Oh, actually, I feel your pain. I do think women do that on purpose. Well, and they really, really, do forget. What is so difficult about a list? Though, too, if it isn't in the store they are in, they... ain't going to shimmy that double butt hump somewhere that does have it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. But I have run into that with almost every woman I have had. And... I've... had a few. Strange or regular, they... all have that problem, more often or less.
Wish I could help you. It's like dealing with children. Just... keep at it. Or... advise they do a list? Maybe write out a list, have them put it in their phone (a picture, for example). Bleh. Good luck.
Of course, now I do it all on my own, so... Though, that is cheaper. If it's not there, I just don't get it. Or do go to another store. But don't end up buying bad and right. :p
