Warm Weather
Thursday, May 31st 2007
It may not be as warm as, say, North Carolina, but it's warming up in central New York; I'm going to have to get over to the park before 8:00 if I really want to beat the heat but at least it wasn't too bad this morning.One thing I've come to realize in the past couple of weeks is that I have to 'relearn' how to keep moving through the perspiration. I've developed the habit of stopping dead in my tracks whenever I break a sweat because of my chronic hot flashes so now it's an automatic r...
Rhubarb & Good Weather
Wednesday, May 30th 2007
Oh, oh. I've just noticed that I have some fabulous rhubarb this year. Let's see:1/3 cup lard, 650
1 cup flour, 450
1 cup sugar, 800
So a single-crust pie would be about 2000 calories and a 1/6 serving would be...334??
I've got plenty of rhubarb so maybe this would be a good time to try and cut the sugar with Splenda but regardless, some of the rhubarb is gonna end up in a pie.
With the good weather this week I'm just not spending as much time online in the mornings...
Check-In Day
Monday, May 28th 2007
If it weren't my check-in day I never would have gotten on the scales this morning.I knew I wouldn't be down much; my hands and feet are stiff and swollen and I just have that heavy feeling I get when the humidity is high. I drank a lot of water yesterday but I don't think I shed anywhere near what I consumed. A cold front came through early this morning so I hope if I get moving I'll feel better as the day goes on.
The blister on my foot is healing more quickly than I thought so I...
Plan B
Sunday, May 27th 2007
Back in my hightop boots with a donut pad on my blister, I got in a good hike this morning but now I can see my foot's not going to heal if I don't give it some time. I was hoping to lose a few pounds before going out on my bicycle but I may have to do that for my exercise on Tuesday.I still don't seem to be developing any kind of intuitive sense of what I'm eating. Some days I feel like I've eaten a lot and my numbers indicate I'm short of my targets; other days I don't think I've eaten...
Bummer
Saturday, May 26th 2007
On my hike yesterday I raised a nasty blister on my first downhill stretch and had no way to deal with it before I did the last downhill section. It's pretty raw. I'm hoping I can find something like a bunion pad today and get back out tomorrow morning.But we got some much needed rain yesterday afternoon and I can wear my Muck Boots to do some easy weeding today.
As for the diet side, I notice that having had more for dinner last night, including more carbs in the risotto, I'm re...
