So I didn’t do that much today. Last night I burnt my thumb catching a log that I had just tossed onto the fire. I originally thought it was a splinter and tried to dig it out. The skin came off this morning in a small patch, but it is clean and dry at the moment (I tend to heal quite fast). However, it’s kind of sore holding a pen and/or pencil, so I blew off the math homework, and only started the stats sheet. If I put a band-aid on it I can write okay, but I’m trying to leave it uncovered to heal faster. Not a big deal, but annoying all the same.

I did manage to reorganize the freezer this afternoon, which was good. I might take a shot at cleaning up my desk tomorrow. The one good thing is that my typing is not affected, so I actually got around to reading some blogs today.

Food for the day:

Total: 2006 (26% fat, 40% carbs, 34% protein)

Breakfast: breakfast bake, 1/2 thintini, clementines (336)
AM Snack: chocolate zucchini cake (156)
Lunch: beef barley mushroom soup, 1/2 thintini, apple (401)
PM Snack: hummus, flatbread (199)
Dinner: sirloin steak, corn, butter, salad w/dressing (652)
Late Snack: protein shake, fruit salad (262)

This morning’s weigh-in was 241.8, which is 1.6 pounds down from last week. The 9-week loss is 20.6lbs (2.29/week) which is usually the ‘number’ I look at to see how things are going overall. It’s widely skewed from the end of the maintenance week, so there’s no jumping up and down from that number. The other little compulsive number I look at is how many days I’ve been ‘on plan’ primarily with food. I still consider the maintenance week ‘on plan’ since I accomplished what I wanted to. So this is day 17 on plan with food.

I think those that know me probably know that I won’t be entirely happy until the chart finally shows with no off-plan days. So, I need 7 weeks of clean eating before that happens….

Next week’s plan is:

Keep the calories around 2000, and if I’m feeling better start working the exercise back in.

Well, I got the Problem Solving project out of the way, looked at (and didn’t change) my drawing, and the Creative Thinking slide show out of the way yesterday. I’ve made a conscious choice not to do the Electricity until during the week off. Mainly because we’ll have a quiz on Chapter 6 on the 6th of March, so I’ll just have to go through it all again closer to the time. So that leaves me with Math and Statistics for the next two days, which means I’ll have some free time.

Okay, I’ve got plenty of other things to do, so it’s not like I’ll be sitting around doing nothing.
