Me On a Diet
Sunday, June 10th 2007
As I was RICE-ing my foot yesterday I did something that may prove to be a big step (irony noted) in my diet & exercise program: I finally opened my friend's copy of "You on a Diet".One point among the many I've picked up from the book:
"Studies show that people who eat the same meal for at least one meal a day lose more weight than those who have more variety."
"By decreasing the variety of foods eaten throughout the day, you'll decrease the chance ...
Dumb, Dumb, Dumb
Saturday, June 9th 2007
I was hurrying back to the car yesterday to keep my time close to 100 minutes, even though not one of the six and half billion souls on this planet gives a rat's ass how long it takes me to haul my sorry self around Green Lakes State Park, and I took misstep and turned my foot. First dumb move.I got home without any real discomfort but I did put ice on my foot while I spent some time online and didn't even think to mention it my blog entry. I did some odds & ends around the kitchen and...

It was a hot and humid hike this morning but I guess it's gonna get a lot hotter before the cold front comes through this evening. A good afternoon to get the hose out and wash the screens and maybe the cars.Yesterday was the first day I really felt hungry.

But I had the dinner to look forward to and it almost felt good t...
Daily Averages
Thursday, June 7th 2007
One of the things I can't figure out about CK is why some information is available in one place and not another.When I go to my online diary, I get one display of my record but when I go to my 'public diary' I get another with a very helpful chart of daily averages for the week. I wish the daily averages of nutrients was part of my weekly report which gives me nothing more that the net calories for each day. And I wish the daily averages were somewhere in the CK Manager program. I'll hav...
A Chilly Morning
Wednesday, June 6th 2007
A chilly morning, perfect for a 'extra' trip to the park. I encouraged a friend to join me this morning and we took a more leisurely pace, enjoying the magnificent display of ferns brought on by the recent rain.We're having dinner out this evening, the same Italian restaurant, the same minestrone and salad but I'm looking forward to it. I'll have a half cup of cottage cheese before we go so I'll be able to limit myself to one slice of bread. Then we're going to see a Dutch film by Paul V...
