11-23-09 Monday (Ah, Forget It)

We started the day with our usual new gym routine.  We did chest/back, core and then cardio. 

We’ve been eating those breakfast sandwiches everyday since August.  Sometimes we’ll have them on a lite english muffin or on a sandwich round.  Oddly, we haven’t tired of them.  I have since cut out the milk.  Unnecessary calories.  The fat free milk didn’t really seem to do much to it.  Maybe it was fluffier?  I have tried the Morningstar Farms veggie bacon.  We didn’t care for it.  It reminded us of dog treats - Beggin Strips.  The smell and look you idiot.  We never tasted them… that I’ll ever admit.  Anyway, I’ve also cut down on the amount of cheese I use.   Remember, they’re under 266 calories and delicious. 

I’m a geek so I took some photos of my creation.

My ingredient list:

Above: If you like ‘em, you can get them in bulk size packaging at Costco or the like.

Above: Large Egg Beaters container.  Try the flavored cheese and chives or southwestern too.

Above: 2% milk!  We’ve experimented with some other cheeses but the Pepperjack just gives it the best flavor.

Above: Large Egg Beaters container.  Try the flavored cheese and chives or southwestern too.  I pour it into a greased (Pam) 9X12.  I then lay the cheese in strips on top of the egg which kinda float.  Then I put the sausage on top and carefully place in the oven at a temp of

Above/Below: It comes out puffy but as it cools, it will deflate.

Below: When it’s cooled, I cut them into squares and freeze some.  We toast our english muffins and nuke the refrigerated egg stuff for 2 minutes.  From frozen, not sure.

Yes, I suppose that was a product of boredom.  Thanks for asking.

We’re kind of a prisoner here for the afternoon.  Jim has a phone interview for 4:30pm.  By the time we came back from the gym, showered and ate lunch, another lead called and scheduled a phone interview for 3:30pm.  I offered to go grocery shopping myself but I got the whiny “Nooooooooo”.  I guess he wants to get out of the RV too.

So I sit here, blogging, reading blogs, devising a way to take over the world and doing laundry.

OK, Jim had his 2 phone interviews.  How’d they go?  Yeah, a common question after an interview right.  He says good.  The 1st one seemed more promising than the second.

Dinner was delicious.  We ate veggie burgers.  This time, I put 2 on 1 bun to eliminate a roll.  I had corn and baked beans.  Jim had corn and tater tots.  Eventually I’ll find the strength to resist having 2 veggie burgers or eliminating both rolls.

I have a computer pop-up reminder program that is wonderful.  It reminds me to take my cholesterol meds, things I have planned, birthdays, anniversaries or anything else I want it to remember on my behalf.  Twice in a 2 week period I have acknowledged the “take cholesterol meds” alarm but couldn’t remember if I actually took them.  For 68 cents, I now have a daily pill box thingy. 

Excuse me while I go read my AARP, fill my pill box, and check the local bingo schedule.
