Yogurt

Monday, November 9th 2009

My plan for the next two weeks–in the hope that I can still get below 150 before Thanksgiving–is to average 350 exercise calories/day and to eat no more than 1200 calories/day.

I’m relieved to find that I won’t have to do any creative bookkeeping to satisfy CK. It turns out one of the many odd quirks in the program is that you can set a custom exercise at 0 calories! I can now log my exercise without affecting my calorie count.

It’s always annoyed me that the CK Manager software ...

Looking Back

Sunday, November 8th 2009

I couldn’t figure out why it hasn’t been going the way it did my first time round until I finally looked back through my CK Manager program. It’s really quite simple: I’ve been eating back too many calories, focusing more on my net calories than I did before. I also forgot that the last time I pretty much gave up one of my problem foods, bread.

So this week I’ll do things differently.

As I was sitting here earlier this morning, a sharp shinned hawk chased what I think was a blue jay, into the nice clean window. It was quite an impact. Put everything else out of my head.


The hawk flew off after a few minutes but I'm still not focusing on much else; it doesn't take a lot to throw me off these days.

The Hunter's Moon aka The Beaver Moon

Thursday, November 5th 2009

Whatever you chose to call this full moon it's been absolutely spectacular the past few nights. It's still impressive this frosty morning.

I spent several hours at the park yesterday even though it was chilly and we never got the sunshine that was forecast. I'd had a nasty sinus headache off and on for a couple of days and I knew if I stayed around the house I wouldn't get much done. My hike didn't start off well when I saw that someone had knocked down all the stone cairns again (why,why,w...

Stretching the Season

Wednesday, November 4th 2009

I got out on my town bike again yesterday and if the weather forecast pans out I may be able to ride again next week – after the snow showers on Friday.

I've also been washing windows and getting an inordinate amount of pleasure from the results because, as I think many people know, the longer you put it off and the more disgusting the windows get, the more dramatic the difference when you finally get them done.

I'm counting half the time I spend on these chores as exercise because it...
