Almost Friday! 

Yesterday was good, but not too productive at work.  This was due to company fundraising activities in the afternoon.  They were fun, but also took me off track a bit with food.  I logged it all, then went home and had dinner since I was actually still hungry.   Dinner was marinated pork chops (on the grill), steamed green and yellow beans, and oven roasted potatoes (tossed in olive oil w/ garlic powder, onion powder and paprika).  I liked how the taters came out, which is good because I bought this big bag of potatoes and need to use them up because they seem to be going south quicker than I thought they would.  I should be storing them in the 3 season room where it’s cool.  Same for my onions.  Didn’t eat any snacks at home last night. 

Fell asleep on the sofa, so I guess I was pretty tired last night.  Dragged myself off the sofa to wash up and go to bed.  Didn’t even read in bed. 

Today I brought my snacks to work, but not lunch.  Lunch was a McD’s double cheeseburger and a side salad w/ LF balsamic vinaigrette dressing.  I know, I could do better, but I get tired of Subway, or bringing my own lunch, or trying to figure out the calories in foods from places where the nutr. info isn’t readily available.  And when I do estimate calories, I start to feel like the numbers are very weasely.  I don’t try to underestimate and look like I did great, but the numbers just seem sort of meaningless when you can’t confirm their accuracy.  I will bring my lunch fro home tomorrow. 

Need to get back to exercising, but I have been walking both ends of my commute this week now that it’s rather dark in the evenings.  I don’t feel safe cycling home on our dark streets.  I feel some soreness that I don’t know if is from the extra walking, or from my fall from the stoop on Tuesday.  My feet have been sore too, but I think it’s actually my sneakers and the orthotic.  Yeh, I’m wearing several hundred $ of shoes/orthotics and my feet still aren’t comfortable.  I’m going to ask the podiatrist if my orthotics can be redone.  I think the arch support areas are in the wrong spot, even though they’re based on an impression of my feet.  Or it might be that they put a smooth, slippery covering on the surface of the orthotics and my feet slide around on it.  How dumb is that?  I tried out a pair of over-the-counter orthotics before getting these custom ones and I think those might have been more comfortable.  I’m going to phone the dr office today. 

Okay, I’m rambling.  Better post and be done.
