Day 32 - 8/2/23 - Another Marching Band Night

 Breakfast: The usual for breakfast.   3 turkey sausage, 2 scrambled eggs, and a half of a potato turned to fries!  Now, if you didn't already, sing that with the melody for the 12 Days of Christmas and chuckle a little to yourself.  


Lunch: For lunch, it was very quick and simple.  I made a spicy chicken breast patty in the air fryer  Delightful $1 lunch!  Can't beat that, huh?  Kristyn was taking the kids to the pool with some friends, so I had some time to get work done. Didn't want to waste time making or eating food, so I just did a real quick one.  That being said, it's a REALLY good piece of processed chicken, so I never regret eating it.

After getting some work done, I taught a trombone lesson.  It feels good to get back into teaching private trombone lessons.  I had taken a break from it while I lived in Nutley because it was just too hard to schedule with the limited time I was home, and I wanted to see the kids.  But now that I 'm in Norwood, the commute is great and I don't ever really need to go a day without seeing the family, I'd like to get back into more lessons.  So I have this one student for the summer heading into college and I'm having a blast teaching him.  

After that, it was off to Cresskill for Marching Band section leader meeting and rehearsal.  I got there and they had cleaned the floors, which means:  They moved everything out of the room and then put everything back in the room.  Just in the room.  It was sort of all over the place.  I don't blame them for this and I don't think  or expect anything else should happen.  BUT it's always just a shock to my system when it happens.  So we put the room back together when the section leaders showed up.  

Dinner: Good thing I packed an easy dinner tonight! Just a little peanut butter sandwich.  I was able to take bites in between the work I was doing.  I only go to work once a week in the summer, so I'm totally ok with it being like this.  I don't want to waste any time while I'm there. 

Dinner #2: After marching band, that peanut butter sandwich at 5pm was not cutting it.  I went to Ray's in Closter to get a slice.  I guess you can say that I'm on "Joe's Diet of Pizza" this week.  It's all good, I'm losing weight!  :-)  They have one of my favorite slices - Meatballs and Ricotta.  And they are not shy about the meatballs OR the ricotta.  It's such an amazing slice.  But they had a plain slice pie - completely fresh - sitting on the counter, so I had to get both.  Sat and ate it in the car, as they were closing up for the night.  I am so happy I got this pizza.  It was SOOOOOOOO good!  :-)


Weight Loss Update: As of 9am on 8/3/23, I am down 0.6 from yesterday and 12.4 pounds since July 2.  Moving in the right direction!    The pizza diet continues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
