Good morning!
Well, maybe it's a little late for good mornings here in Denmark, as it's 10:30 am already, but you know what I mean.
We didn't get to go to bed until 2:30 AM last night. This is pretty hardcore for a guy who is usually in bed before 9 PM, because of my hectic morning schedules. It's all good though.

Man, yesterday was FUN.
We went for the first of our Halloween parties this year. Pretty much EVERYONE came in costume, and everyone did good.
People were really impressed with out get-ups. Wife is of course the main actor in this, sewing HER entire costume, and the pants for mine. She also did Daughter's costume. I don't know how she does it - she is so talented.
Daughter was dressed as French Cow, Wife was a Mexican Desperado, and I was an 80's Hard Rocker. :)
Check it out!
It was a lot of good fun. There were pumpkin carving contests, live music, great food (made by Wife and the hostess) and it was just a great evening.
Daughter made the last pumpking. Not bad at all. :)
The food was all kinda of tex mex goodies. This time, I'm not gonna go all too much into detail on it, but trust me - it was all good!
...
The result shows on the scale today. Not that it's bad at all. I am at 83.7 kilos, up 1.1 kilo since yesterday.
I ended up having consumed 3100 calories yesterday. It was Indulgence Day, and 3100 is 400 below my allowance, and all good.
I can tell that I am retaining water today. I almost didn't pee this morning, and I woke up thirsty. Most of my gain is just water retention and food in my stomach.
It'll be gone in a day or two.
...
So, today is my birthday! :) YAY!
It's gonna be a quiet day. As soon as I'm done writing my journal, Wife and I are heading out for a walk, to get to move a little today. It's grey and rainy, so we're hoping to go between the showers. I really appreciate that Wife is going with me - I know she is going entirely for me. She's so sweet.
Food wise? I might ask her for lunch out, since we're out. It'll be very light. I'm on a mission, and I will succeed on it.
Today's RDI is 2,000 calories, and I can easily fit dinner - leftovers from yesterday in much more controlled amounts - and a lunch out - maybe sharing a pizza or just having a pita - into this large an amount of calories. There can even be room for snacks of the healthy kind through the day.
...
There is no band practice today. Our singer had to go elsewhere and since I have my birthday, we figured that it'd be okay to cancel. We'll go for a great session next week instead.
...
Today, I'm thankful for:
- Wife!
- Awesome fun party yesterday.
- Halloween! The best time of year.
- Morning coffee.
Have a great Sunday, everyone! Life is good!
