They’re very good at hiding these areas. They are all in the lowlands and it doesn’t take much moisture to turn them back into full fledged swamps again, which is nice because I get tons of wildlife to look out while out walking. Snakes, all manner of snakes, turtles, waterfowl, rabbits, armadillos, squirrels, can’t get away from those little bastards, lots of deer and even some bobcats.
Thanks to “The Stall”, I took more than a couple days off; the entire week actually. Here’s how it happened. I grabbed things and put them in my face hole. No. That’s not it. I was focused on “The Stall” and at my irritation with it showing up the way it did.

The thing is, when you're doing a low calorie diet, you don't have to give up on flavor as much as you'd think.

It’s cool. I’m not panicking. I expected this, however not this soon. I have to assume my lack of progress this week is related to the massive amount of weight I moved during Covid. Based on consumption and movement, I should have lost 3.3 lbs. Instead, here I am, having only lost 1.4.
It’s February 2nd, 2024. Groundhog Day and the weekend is approaching. According to the resources in my garage freezer, I have two 8-ounce portions of utility chicken left which means, two things. First, I have to make more utility chicken. Woo. I hate making utility chicken. Particularly without the benefit of beer to aid me. Second, I finally have a way to address utility chicken on this Blog. I mean I mention it often enough.
