Nothing planned for this weekend but the weather also has me a bit grounded. The forecast is for drippy, cold and dreary for a few days.

Day 35 - Eggcellet Surprise
Weight 182
BP update: 142/98
BP doesn't seem to be responding very well this year to the SDC. Perhaps it's because I need to get a little more of my primitive side going. I've been doing more of an "Urban Survivor Diet" up to this point - more like a scavenger and less like a hunter gatherer.

Day 34 - Clam Testing
Weight 182 - no significant negative effects from binge eating free food yesterday.
Asparagus for lunch
Asparagus for dinner
picked on the chicken scraps and garbage that the kids were about to toss to the dog. Now that's surviving!

Day 33 - Fishing - Not Catching (and Cheating)
Up early (6am) for chartered striped bass fishing trip with Dr Gutentag on the party boat Mi Jo.
Day 32 - Tuesday
Weight - hovering around 182 give or take a pound.
I have no idea what happened Tuesday as it is Thursday now that I write this.
I would guess a big batch of sauteed asparagus for breakfast and another batch for dinner.

Day 31 - Monday Scavenging
Back to work today.
Brought some rice and scraps of Jamie's sushi from dinner last night. Had the rice for breakfast.
Lunch was a few bites left from the omelet Debbie took home from KW Sunday.

Day 30 - Sunday Scavenging
After a small breakfast of asparagus and water, I played a softball game against the Monmouth Beach Fire Company. After the game, they had a cookout at the fire house and it just so happens that they roasted a pig the night before in a caja china box. There were some pig scrap leftovers that were going to be thrown away so I took full advantage and threw them on the grill for a nice meaty lunch. I also scavenged a couple of Miller Lites - they weren't going to be thrown out but they were free.
Day 29 - Saturday Scavenging
This morning (Saturday) I took Jamie and Simi to the Kitchen Witch for breakfast and despite not ordering any food, I had plenty in the form of leftovers that would have gone in the trash. On a positive note, the restaurant was hiring bus people and we talked to the manager and got Jamie a summer job right on the spot! She was very excited. It's not great work but for a 15 year old, any extra money is awesome.
Day 28 - Four Weeks In
Weight: 183.4
I didn't take any photos today - sorry. Here's a quick summary. I made some scrambled eggs with asparagus for breakfast. I took Jamie out to lunch for sushi and ate her leftovers (not much).

Day 27 - Mangrove Snapper Dinner
Back to work today. I took advantage of an odd situation at lunchtime. The office building across the street was having a vendor sponsored cook out and they were giving away free hotdogs and hamburgers and sausage sandwiches. I grabbed a sausage sandwich and justified it by using the 'free sample' clause of my weekly rewards. Surviving isn't always doing it yourself. In the city, sometimes scavenging what's available is also a good way to survive.
