19 Days Out

I should know not to step on the bloody scale at this time of the month.  Grr.  I did a quick check a week ago and was only 1 pound off of my weight class and I'm now a good 7lbs off.  *sigh*  It's water.  But I still don't like being that far off this close.  This is my one major complaint about powerlifting.  Well, that and singlets.  No one looks good in a singlet.  I DO NOT LIKE CARING ABOUT THE MOFO'ING SCALE!!!!!

I can qualify for Nationals at 63kilos.  I can't in the 69 class.  So, crossing my fingers.

Here was what breakfast, lunch and more lunch looked like:

Kind of a ground free range pork goulash with eggplant, zucchini, peppers, red onion, garlic, tomatoes (both fresh and sundried) and mushrooms.  Made it zippy with hot chili garlic paste, balsamic vinegar and fresh basil and oregano.  It wasn't bad.

And here's supper.  Oh, gee.  It looks the same.  Only in a bowl.  With some baby mandarin oranges.  Mmmm.  Babies.  Delicious.
