Tick Tock
Monday, August 20th 2007
Chilly this morning, 54º/12º, and we left the house open last night. It's hard to type; I don't want to put my warm coffee mug down.I now have 10 pounds to go to reach my personal goal. 10 pounds or 6 weeks, whichever comes first. I'm ready to be done with this and I want to establish a 'maintenance' diet before the weather changes.
And the weather is beginning to change. The birds know it. The hummingbirds are chubbing up at the feeders and the agastache rupestris. ...
Now They Tell Me
Saturday, August 18th 2007
I guess it's my own fault; if I'd done CKU at THE BEGINNING I wouldn't have been confused on this point."The general recommendation is that 40-60 percent of your calories come from carbohydrates. At 1200 calories, you should aim for around 40 percent (120g per 1200 calories), and at 2500 calories, aim for around 60 percent (345g per 2500 calories)."
So it turns out the targets that the CK Diet and Exercise Manager have set for me are accurate and the note I get in the online...
Allergies
Thursday, August 16th 2007
Everyone I know is complaining about the pollen count and their allergy symptoms this week. I've been feeling like I'm living underwater; everything seems to take more effort and all my senses seem to be 'muffled'. I've been out to the park but my overall activity level has been pretty low the last few days.A cold front is coming through so maybe the cooler, drier temps will revive me.
Jim is in Ohio visiting his parents so I'm left to eat the tomatoes all by myself. I don't even b...
To Renew or Not to Renew
Wednesday, August 15th 2007
Not; I'm not going to renew. I've got 9 months to go and that will be that. I've spent $90 on Calorie King and if I can't make do with that I'll spend my money on therapy.For one thing the discrepancies between the online program and the CK Nutrition and Exercise Manager software program continue to irritate me and the only real advantage I see is being able to track daily averages on the website.
What I need is a way to keep track of my calories when, for whatever reason, my level ...
Rags to Riches
Tuesday, August 14th 2007
I was hoping to get to Saratoga at least once this summer but now I don't think I will. Rags to Riches isn't running on Saturday and I will still have the house to myself so I'll stick around here. I can't believe The State Fair starts next week. If I want to plant some fall crops I'd better do it in the coming week.I had my doctor's appointment yesterday and I'm surprised how well it went. I've only seen this doctor once briefly since my internist took the position of CEO at the hospi...
