2014 Start

So here it is Feb 2 2014 and I haven't really done much seems to be a pattern and routine has set in.

Jay, when I see him, talks about walking but only in warmer weather - idea is great but schedules conflicts and fair weather walking buddies isn't what I really need, need all weather, no excuses. I also cant do it before during work without access to a shower, fat people have too many folds that if sweat sits in a fold, it's going to cause a stink.
Doc has prescribed therapy to work on my back pain and said she would write out any notes needed for getting insurance to cover a gym member ship and trainer to loose weight and I also took a reference to consult again on bariatric surgery. I think at this point in life, i have matured and changed my lifestyle where the thought of the lifestyle changes for the surgery wont make me so nauseous, the first time I interviewed for it, I nearly threw up in the car on the drive home, but then I was 20 (+/- 2 2 years) and not ready to lock my life down like that. I think I should find time this month to pursue those two.

Scale still reading in  470's happy about that.

Food wise -
Had chicken thighs with skin on for 3-4 days in a row last week, found my skin breaking out with welty zits all over and general greasier feeling all over - I was using a different seasoning salt from the deep of my pantry trying to use it up, likely have 2-3 more uses before its gone and not to be replaced. Next batches just going to give Tardis the skin. I'm not keen on body being like this but want to see if minus skin it makes a difference or if I need to deskin chicken before cooking.

Other than that it's been
coconut milk and almond milk
frozen cherries and blueberries
dried fruit / nut medlies as paleo as possible, but most dried fruit gets sugar and other junk added
Jerky - Jack Links and oberto regular
Steaks - lots of steaks - been grabbing the $4 off manager specials at kroger for $8 bucks on a nystrip
Lots of Monster low cal - bad I know but I think the diuretic nature of the concoction forces more uric acid out than it generates.
Cherry juice  16oz / day if possible
Johnsonville Chicken sausage - apple and cajun their not 100% paleo but they were on massive sale so have a freezer full and trying to eat them in small batches not daily consumption.

I have growing concern, when I eat dinner or bowl of cherries/almond milk, I usually lay on the couch watching a movie while i do it, within 30 minutes I'm falling asleep and waking up maybe 30 mins to a hour later. I seem to recall my dad doing the same when we watched movies as a kid. My concern is that I know it's body chemistry but do not have it pinpointed to the exact cause thought I wondering if the almond milks I usually drink or have with the berries is a cause and likely falls back to portion control.

On a plus side I just champions through a weekend of Magic the gathering tournaments starting Friday evening ending Sunday night - and placed in the top in all of them and my back isn't killing today from sitting in a folding chair for the weekend too, woot woot.
