o, I’ve gone back and forth on whether I’ll bother with food logs or not. I think for a change I’ll just post some kind of ramble with a compliance list every night.

Day: 1 / 84

Exercise: Cardio - Yes
Warm-up: Yes

Recovery: Yes

Food (2100 max): 2094 - Yes
Macros (40P, 25F, 35C): 40.0P, 25.0F, 35.0C - Yes

Water (4L min): Yes

Weight (AM): 256.8
Change: none (day 1, right?)

Overall: 100% - good start

I added the warm-up because I know that I have a tendency to skip things like that. I added the water because I notice that when my eating goes off track so does my water. Of course, it could be that the water goes off track first and then I overeat. What was really quite funny was that I took the calories for fat and protein and divided them by the total (to get a decimal on them, which Fitday doesn’t do) and they rounded to zero). Oh, and I also did the recovery today, and can I say… hate, hate, hate the foam rolling.

So, what else did I do today?  I finished freezing the turkey soup (had some today for lunch, very nice).  Oh, and I made some chili.  That leaves me only with the stewed beef to make, but I think I’ll take a day or two off from the cooking before I do it.  I may also make some rhubarb marmalade for my mother, if I have enough empty jars.

I seem to be on a clean-up / organize kick the last couple of days.  It started with me cleaning out the desk drawer (something I probably haven’t really done in years).  I seem to simply shift stuff from point A to point B a lot.  I want to keep at least two of my books from last semester, but have nowhere really to put them.  I have quality books in a dresser drawer upstairs, and a bookcase in my bedroom that’s filled with recipe books (mine and my mothers).  Oh, and gardening books as well.

So, I’ve started putting the fancy print/scan/fax machine to good us.  I’ve been scanning in old recipe pages (looseleaf in binders).  They’re already indexed in an Access database (by title, book #, page #) and usually when I’m looking for something I’ll search, write down the info and then go upstairs to look for the actual recipe.  This should let me start to find some space on the bookcase.  I should probably just chuck them all into the recycle bin, but I can’t bring myself to do so.  You know, just in case I suddenly have a burning desire to make….

Yes, I’m a pack rat, but at least a somewhat organized one. 

And if nothing else, I’m getting some NEAT in.  I throw 10 pages in the scanner, press the button and really have to leave the desk.  Although I should be able to use the computer, if I do too much the scanner hangs.  So, I get up, walk away, and then come back.  It’s kept me from sitting at the desk too long during the day.

On that note though I think I’ll head off to my bed.  Looking at OPT, that’s one day down, 83 to go…
