Oops

All that crowing about how I was going to walk more and yesterday I only did the mile to Central. But we had a nice homemade dinner last night of Quorn (for me, chicken for Spouse) with mushrooms, onions and spinach in a white wine and cream sauce over brown rice, with steamed broccoli on the side. I made far too much rice and Spouse didn't even finish his portion.

Lunch today will be frozen food. I bought it a couple of weeks ago to shove in the freezer in case I really needed it, and I think my schedule will be too tight today to contemplate a better lunch.

Having trouble drinking water today. My stomach is a little upset and water just doesn't feel right. Unfortunately there's no fizzy water in the vending machine, so I'll probably go for ginger ale.

Bad blogger

I've been so bad about putting anything here lately. I've been following other people's progress, which has been inspiring, but neglecting to log my own. Perhaps I'm just afraid to see in print the days I slack, overeat or over drink?

For the past two days (yes, two whole days) I've increased the walking part of my evening commute. Previously I had been walking to Central Square in Cambridge to take the T home, which comes out to one mile from my office. Last week I tried going a bit further to see how awful it would be, and it was actually not a bad walk at all!, So now my basic goal (rainstorms and heavy grocery days aside) is to walk from the office to Kendal Square by way of Central, which works out to 2.3 miles. I am allowed to stop (such as for groceries) but I must do that 2+ miles before getting on the T to go home. Then it's only the piddly 1/2 mile from the T stop to home.

Breakfast:
toast with peanut butter, tea with soy milk, water
