Still have just under a month to go but not bad for totals.
That sleep score is a bit misleading as I typically either have a great sleep (80s or 90s) or it’s terrible (< 60) 😂

Picked up one of these schwartz smoked briskets from Costco a few weeks back and decided to give it a go. I’ve done the Dunns smoked meat from the freezer section before and they’re decent enough, a bit salty

Had a bunch of leftover ham from last week so decided to make a ham & potato frittata for supper
Checks odd two major boxes .. using up leftovers before they go bad and also get to say frittata in a bad Italian accent

Being in the 130s (kg) on deadlift in October means I’m probably going to have to make a decision sooner rather than later if I’m going to make a run at a new PR (150) this winter

Note to self: stacking a dozen thighs on top of each other increases the cooking time significantly :)

Saw these dog training leads once and thought it was a great little idea. They have others for “friendly”, “training”, “reactive”, etc
I came to the realization that they should make these for people too, when they’re out shopping :)

Despite not having to cook a turkey (or anything) this past weekend, I managed to inherit a turkey carcass, that I turned into bone broth earlier this week

Can barely make out the edge of the brisket but we’re all done for today. The chili base got a LOT of smoke so it’ll be interesting to see how pronounced it is
Tomorrow we load it up with veggies and roast it in the oven until they’re tender.
Yes I will be putting beans in

It started out as short rib soup but we pivoted a bit and went with a miso broth and udon noodles.
A good handful of bean sprouts on the bottom of the bowl rounds it out nicely

I mean not entirely accurate given I'm more than familiar with both (more so if you swap out the machine weights for an actual barbell) but I still snort laughed
