Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Today’s Activities

  • Shower.  DONE.
  • Cat duty.  DONE.
  • Do all pending laundry.  DONE.

Log

09:00 AM: I’m up.  Another hot one today; though not quite as bad. We’re planning on getting out to do a little   shopping   and medicine pickup this afternoon. 

12:00 PM: Heading out  shopping.  Mom is driving us, as she has to go to Duncansville for a hair appointment anyway.  I like timing our trips so that we minimally inconvenience our drivers, and this one should work out very well as Mom needs to go past our shopping spots anyway.  :-)   We’ll return later.

04:00 PM: We’re back home from   today’s shopping trip   and all groceries are put away and the new towels we purchased are in the washing machine now.  94 degrees on our east porch at present. 

06:00 PM: I had some leftover spaghetti for supper, and [Emmy] enjoyed a chicken wrap from Sheetz. 

07:00 PM: Watched   WTAJ TV 10′s Local News   as well as   The CBS Evening News. 

08:00 PM: Watched today’s episode of   The Young and the Restless   on the DVR. 

10:00 PM: Finished washing, drying, and folding the new bath and dish towels.  Now we’re watching   CNN’s AC 360. 

11:35 PM: We just finished watching KDKA TV’s Local News at 11:00 PM.  Now, we’re off to bed.  So good night, and we’re looking forward to going swimming over the weekend, as the sun will hopefully not be so brutal.  Take care.

Today’s Diet: 2010-07-08

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

I keep this food diary to stay aware of just how many calories I’m eating daily, with the hope that it decreases the likelihood that I’ll overeat.    It seems to work, so here we go with another day…

Today, I consumed the following items:

  • Herbal tea and diet caffeine-free Pepsi  throughout the day. 0 calories.
  • 10:45 AM: 5 slices of muenster cheese.  400 calories.
  • 11:15 AM: 1 cup orange juice.  110 calories.
  • 05:00 PM: Spaghetti and meatballs.  700 calories.
  • 10:00 PM: Oatmeal with shredded Parmesan cheese.  500 calories.

Total calories: 1710.
