Mom and I had a good visit last evening. I picked her up from her doctor's appointment and after a couple of stops, and deciding it was too early for dinner, we settled at a Starbucks. She had some reading material and I worked on this blog.
Dinner was great, the visiting is always good--and I was able to get home and go to bed at a relatively decent time. The extra sleep had a noticeable effect on my day today. It was an accomplished day. I made a list of things to get done and marched right through the list. It's funny because I act so surprised when I experience a day, better rested. I needed a better rested day because today was twelve hours.
I really enjoy my weekend nights when I know I can sleep in the next morning. I'm a night person by nature. This is my time. And I'll still get a full seven or eight hours sleep.
I enjoyed preparing an amazing dinner tonight. It was a challenge! I like occasional cooking challenges. My goal: Enjoy a fried catfish dinner with a confident/accurate as possible, calorie count. I accomplished the goal. The Live-Tweet Stream contains the process.
I completed a nice workout in my living room tonight. Body weight strength training exercises really work well for me. So well, I'm questioning why I don't do this longer version of the #morningdeal, more often. It feels great. This is absolutely something for me to consider a little more.
I'm sleeping in on my Saturday morning. And I'm looking forward to it like you wouldn't believe.
The integrity of my daily maintenance calorie budget was maintained. My abstinence from refined sugar remains solid (779 days and counting). I participated in a few one on one support exchanges. I enjoyed some kitchen creativity. I exceeded my daily #watergoal and my home workout was fantastic.
It's really been a great day. I needed a good one.

A meal like this can present challenges in calorie counting accuracy. I start with weighing the fish. pic.twitter.com/1b5ItUlmlY— Sean Anderson (@SeanAAnderson) June 18, 2016
Then, I weigh the corn meal and prepare a 3 egg white wash. pic.twitter.com/gypsTVKLBY— Sean Anderson (@SeanAAnderson) June 18, 2016
Once fish is coated w/the seasoned corn meal, I re-weigh the corn meal & assess the egg white, to find amounts used. pic.twitter.com/5nitvXhNI5— Sean Anderson (@SeanAAnderson) June 18, 2016
