Log

08:30 AM: I’m up.

08:45 AM: Facebooked for perhaps ten minutes. Friend count: 627 (up one). Fan count: 114 (unchanged).

02:15 PM: Washed all pending laundry; most of which is for Mother this time.  I’m visiting her tomorrow and will take her a clean batch up then.

03:00 PM: Watched today’s episode of   The Young and the Restless   via the DVR.

05:15 PM: Moved a glider rocking char in front of one of the only windows on the first floor that has enough space in front of it for such a chair.  My grandfather used to watch the traffic going by through another window on this same wall, in this same room, in this same house.  Now, I see why he enjoyed it although he used just a plain chair; not a rocker.  He used to listen to baseball and football games there.  Now, I listen to music on my iPod Touch in a similar fashion, by the window.  I guess I’m getting older and adopting some of Grand Dad’s older ways myself.   It’s quite fun.  I’ll have to try this with talking books sometime.

05:30 PM: Talked with sister Christine.  Made plans to watch the first half of the super-bowl with she and her family.  I’ll come home for the second half, as they all must work early the next day, and so, do not want to drive me home after the entire game is finished.

06:30 PM: Continued basement cleanup and organization efforts after the replacement of all ten windows down there with glass block.  Man, I just love these new glass block windows.  Very quiet and warm.

07:30 PM: Cooked a spaghetti squash for supper tonight for the first time.  I put spaghetti sauce on it, along with Parmesan cheese, and it made a quite delicious, low-calorie alternative to grain pasta.  Plus, its texture was much like spaghetti (the strings).

10:00 PM: Watched tonight’s edition of   NBC’s Nightly News   broadcast via the DVR.

11:00 PM: Talked with   [Emmy].  We watched tonight’s rerun episode of   Hawaii Five-0.

11:20 PM: I’m heading to bed.  Good night and do stop back tomorrow for more content.  :-)    Good night.

Today’s Diet: 2012-01-30

Monday, January 30th, 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…

Weight Log

Today’s weight: 179.0 pounds.  That’s unchanged from yesterday.  The 2012 year low weight so far: 179.0 pounds (established on 2012-01-19). The high weight for 2012 so far is 184.0 pounds (established on 2012-01-01).

  • Herbal teas throughout the day.  0 calories.
  • 12:00 PM: 6 buckwheat pancakes with pure maple syrup.  1000 calories.
  • 12:20 PM: 2 cups of organic skim milk.  160 calories.
