DIET OOPS AND BEANS EVERY DAY

Well OOPS. OK I fell off the wagon big time this week. I eat crappy food every day almost. I had Pizza 3 times (large). First time was a "treat" the 2nd time I had found $20 in my jacket pocket (why it was there I don't know) and the 3rd time I had a free one.

Then there was the double cheese burger and a large amount of fries. As well a number of bags of chips and some chocolate. Yup not only did I blow three weeks of dieting, I wasted a bunch of money that could have been used otherwise.

But this is NOT the worst I have done - I was up like 13 lbs one week. I'll get back on plan, I always do. In the long run the trend is down, so this is all that is important.

As for money I have set aside $30 for a friends birthday outing so I can have a meal and a beer or two. I also have everything I need and MORE money on the bills than needed to be on them to carry over a credit for next month (so I can buy something). Coffee money is planed out and I paid back the $20 I owed a friend. So I still have money left over. I might end up going for sushi with a friend on Saturday (not sure yet). But even with that I'll have money left over for the month.

But back to the diet, I'll be on plan now I think. Yes we do fall off the wagon but getting back on is what matters. This being said I have reached my original target and now am going for another target. It seems even when I am on plan it's harder to loose weight now as it was to start with (this is normal), so it's slow going.

I find it interesting as hell that for decades I kept saying "I tried everything and can't lose weight". Then the doctor said "you might be dead in a year or two if you don't fix things" and all the sudden I lost 70 lbs in the first year. So it's doable ain't it? Yes I DO realize there are people out there who literally can't lose weight for one reason or the other - just saying most of the time they can.

BTW, 80% of the time I'm awake I'm hungry. I'm on two different meds that do this to me. Strange thing is the other 20% of the time I'm not hungry at all. This can last 2 days BTW. So I tend to eat at the time I set aside to eat.

Beans... I eat a great deal of beans and have the same thing 3 times a day every day of my life (when I'm on plan). Spice is the key - change up the spice a bit and then you end up not getting tired as hell of it. This is kind of extreme to some people, but for people like me with not much money - it's a low budget way to lose a lot of weight. After all eating healthy and low calorie is expensive as hell if you want verity. I simply can't afford to eat fresh veggies for example.

Meat is also a lot of money - so for the high protein I need for this diet I use beans. It's called "The Bean Diet". You can look for it - others have talked about it. I've got a few people onto it now and they are losing as well. I do now and then toss in a piece of chicken (boneless skinless) into the mix. But not often - I also gave up on the bulk chicken breasts as they are extremely high in salt.

So yeah, I can do this. I will do this. I will make my new target... Eventually.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
