Log

08:30 AM: I’m up.

08:50 AM: Facebooked for a bit. Friend count: 622 (unchanged). Fan count: 114 (unchanged).

10:35 AM: Wrapped up my numerous audio and video cables that were sort of strewn about in the cellar prior to the basement windows replacement project.  They’re neatly rolled and stacked in the northwest corner of the basement (near the power box and just beneath window #3).

10:45 AM: Leaving now to pay a visit to Mom.  Back later.

11:30 AM: Arrived at Mom’s nursing home.  Mom was sleeping when I got there.  So I busied myself putting away her clean clothes and loading up the laundry bag I brought with me, with her dirty ones.

11:45 AM: The morning nurse came in to dress Mom.  So I’m heading to our favority Mexican restaurant to pick up a cheese steak sub for myself.  Then on the way back, I’ll stop off at Mom’s favorite hot dog shop and buy a hot dog and fries for Mom.

12:30 PM: I’m back at the home.  Getting lunch took a bit more time than usual today, because I had to wait for the cheese steak sub, and then, also, the hot dog shop for Mom’s order.  But it all worked out, as this gave Mom plenty of time to get dressed.

12:50 PM: We at lunch in the first floor lounge.

01:30 PM: While there, we watched today’s episode of   The Young and the Restless.

02:25 PM: Then, Mom and I went down to the lobby to wait for my van home.  We just chit-chatted until it came.

02:30 PM: I’m leaving for home now.

03:00 PM: I’m home.

04:05 PM: Published a few new posts to my blogs, including this one.

04:10 PM: Nap time.  Back later.

06:00 PM: I’m awake again.

06:30 PM: Steamed some fresh green beans in the wok, which appears to steam them twice as fast as the dedicated steamer I have.  However, one should keep an eye on the water level in the bottom of the wok, as the water boils away rather quickly.

07:15 PM: Watched the 2011-01-17 episode of   Dr. Phil,   called   Teen Trends: Killer Numbers   via the DVR.

08:00 PM: Watched the 2011-01-18 episode of   Dr. Phil,   called   Unusual Syndromes and Fears  via the DVR.

10:00 PM: Unloaded the shelves in front of windows 4, 5, and 6 in the basement, in preps to replace them tomorrow.

11:00 PM: Talked with   [Emmy].

11:55 PM: I’m heading to bed.  Good night and do stop back tomorrow for more content.  Good night.

12:05 AM: The daily traffic stats from yesterday for my blogs.  The monthly keyword hit count for this run is 946, down from 951 at last check.  The record high for this dimension remains at 1788.  The next goal: 2000.

Today’s Diet: 2012-01-18

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

I keep this food and fitness diary to stay aware of just how many calories I’m eating daily, my weight, and blood pressure with the hope that seeing these numbers repeatedly and often decreases the likelihood that I’ll overeat.  It seems to work, so here we go with another day…

Today’s weight: 180.0 pounds.  That’s down one pound from yesterday.  The 2012 year low weight so far: 180.0 pounds (established on 2012-01-17). The high weight is 184.0 pounds (established on 2012-01-01).

  • 10:00 AM: 1 cup of organic skim milk.  80 calories.
