Work was closed today due to the storm, which unfortunately turned to rain early on. I did day 3 of Jack and then 30 minutes of Wii fir this morning, but no stairs. The only other real exercise was trudging out through the rain and deep puddles of slush to go buy milk and other provisions for a day in (eg cocktail ingredients).

I trudged through the cold and beginning flakes of snow this morning, but not before doing my Jack LaLanne and nearly an hour of Wii Fit! Given that I was feeling a little ill again before lunch I opted to postpone the stairs until after, but then only managed the 6 flights. Tomorrow is a snow day. While I can still do my LaLanne "Trimnastics" and Wii Fit, I'm stuck with our three flights of

I got rather inspired by the recent stair climbing post by Bitch Cakes and thought it might be good to try some stair climbing here at work. Originally I was planning the north stairwell from basement to top, four flights, starting with one flight on Monday and working up to five on Friday. Today, the first day I was to attempt, it occurred to me to try the central stairwell which is six flights

Or: Maybe you can live to 96 too. My challenge is to follow Jack LaLanne's 6 week exercise regimen.

Before Christmas, and after my last doctor's appointment, I told Spouse nag me to exercise five days a week. The run up to and after Christmas were dead losses, but we did manage to come up with something that would work for us where I exercise for 30 minutes and he practices piano for 30 minutes (he's exercising too, but since that's not part of the deal I don't nag.) I am happy to report

I had an ultrasound a couple weeks ago that showed fatty liver (my fois is gras) so now that's one more thing saying LOSE WEIGHT! I've asked Spouse to make me exercise 30 minutes 5 times per week and he's been quite god about it so far. We've even had negotiations about days I want off or how I can trade one activity for another. While I'm not thrilled about having to exercise, I do notice how

Yeah, you read that right: 189.5. I lost four pounds in a week. I know the rate will slow down, but this does show that I had been consuming far too many calories and not exercising enough (or at all to be honest.)

We had an agreement when my class started this semester that Freddie would make me dinner on class nights. It's not that he hates cooking, or is bad at it, but he often doesn't want to bother or just is uncomfortable both using recipes or making something on the fly. You can see where this is going, can't you?Here we are mid-way through the semester and I finally got my dinner last night. And it

I was horrible when I got home. I snapped at spouse for putting something I use almost daily (the oil spray bottle) in the back of the cupboard above the stove where not only could I not reach it, but couldn't even see it. He's done that sort of thing before (being 6'3" it never occurs to him that these things are far out of reach for me) but I usually just get the step ladder and start searching

Last night turned out to be a bust as far as exercise goes. Plus I forgot to bake the bread I set in the oven to rise and it had fallen this morning (baked it anyway and it's vaguely edible.) Last night's meal was listed as:Roast veal (3 oz)Whole kernel corn (1/2 cup)cauliflower (1/2 cup)salad of grapefruit and orange (1/2 each) on lettucestrawberry gelatin (1/2 cup)coffeeActual meal was:Homemade

I decided to join the challenge this month at the Apron Revolution. It's a diet and exercise challenge using the Better Homes and Gardens Diet Book and Jack Lalane exercises! Go to the Diet and Exercise page to see the info. I only just ordered the book yesterday so have started today based on the menus posted on the site. I'm going to have to be doing a lot of modifying to omit the meat, but

And does the mozzarella on the salad make a difference?Last night I managed 42 minutes on the Wii Fit, 30 of it on the island cycle (basically stepping up and down on the board). It made me really wish I wasn't so afraid to ride a bike. I didn't learn to ride until I was 18 and then only rode in Vermont. The last time I was on a bike was back in Burlington, VT and I was TERRIFIED! That's what

I really have a hard time making the time for exercise. The one time I was able to lose weight without some sort of diet was when I was unemployed and made a point of walking for an hour a day. This time I'm not exercising just to lose weight, but more importantly to get stronger. Fortunately I have the Wii Fit now which makes moving my body around like a dork actually enjoyable (I do like long

I had a good breakfast this morning. My doc reminded me that I really should eat breakfast every day. She said it was okay if I couldn't face more food to just have fruit. Now I just need to remember that I do in fact have fruit in the house!. Brekkies today was scrambled eggs with the broccoli left over from dinner and a bit of parmesan (less than 1/2 oz), plus tea with soy milk. I even

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'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

I cheated though: I got sick. Now I'm on antibiotics that have appetite suppression as a side-effect (the only positive side effect). I had been trying to get more walking in, but this weekend I was so ill I hardly moved, let alone left the house. But after looking at some recent photos today, I'm just horrified.Yes, I am just bloody huge.Here's hoping the warmer weather will inspire healthier

I am naughty for not posting, but I'll try to get back at it.Yesterday I took my first steps (ha!) toward walking my way into fitness. I walked for 30 minutes at lunch while listening to an old radio show I'd downloaded. The result: big blister on my toe! It's got a bandaid on it so I will not be deterred from today's walking. Since I have a meeting to go to 12-1:30, I'll be walking after

Breakfast was grapes and an English muffin with butter and jam. Tea was unsweetened, unlightened as all the milk is spoiled. I poured the beginnings of tofu into my tea to discover that and then checked the cow milk and that was off too.

The weather is getting warmer and it just cries out for long walks to be taken (yes, weather cries out to me.) We went for a walk down to the water on Friday and then out for a pub meal, which was just wonderful (the walk, not the meal. The meal was just okay.) Spouse went out hiking on Saturday while I stayed home and did grading and then went down the pub for a bit. We decided that walks would

Well, it's Thursday now, so let's just start in. I ran very late today but somehow made in to work two minutes before start time. Showered, made tea and cooked an asparagus and Smart Bacon omelet this morning, which took a lot of the time, then setting my hair while eating took much more. I would have made it out earlier if I hadn't then spend 10 minutes trying to find my mp3 player that the cat

I made tons of food yesterday and ate too much of it. I'm still full this morning so limited myself to tea for breakfast. Spouse says I feel thinner to him. I though I haven't noticed anything yet. I made an appointment for my annual exam (nearly a bi-annual at this point!) but can't get in until July. At least that gives me some more time to slim down a bit. I weight about 20 pounds more than

I have three meetings today, but still, IT'S FRIDAY!!I forgot to pick up more grapefruit, or even juice yesterday so it was a citrus-free breakfast :( I did have a boiled egg, three slices of Smart Bacon and bread with butter along with my tea. I'm really missing the citrus though so may need to hit the cafeteria before my meetings to get some juice.The citrus craving got the better of me. I just

This morning I made cream of wheat with dried fruit to have in addition to grapefruit and tea. It wasn't that good, but I blame that on my choice of fruit (black mission figs and cherries.) Still, I ate it all and it hasn't killed me yet.Lunch was a white bean soup and small salad with blue cheese dressing. I've had a decent amount of water today too.

Grapefruit and tea again this morning. I heard an interesting thing on diet books on NPR this morning. Someone has come up with a writer's diet that, apart from the eat-less-exercise-more advise that everyone should follow, suggests writing for 20 minutes every morning to keep yourself on track. I'm such a slug that I don't know if I could manage it since it would mean getting up on time in the

It's 83 degrees in the office. People keep asking how I'm feeling because I took the day off (and two people are still out) and all I can say is, "Sweaty!" I climbed up on the sill to open my window and they just opened the door to the outside, but it's still too hot.I couldn't get to sleep last night, so I hope I can make it through the day.

I was starting to feel really drained, like when you have a fever, yesterday so used it as an excuse to stay home. But since I rolled over in bed yesterday morning and strained my neck (almost as lame an injury as when I threw my back out plugging in an iron) AND somehow screwed up my foot so it feels like the cramp from hell when I try to walk, I feel justified in staying home. And I was still

I only managed to do 17 minutes of Wii fit today because it was just too yucky and I started crying when Spouse tried to talk to me. PMS Fit. And I have a sensitive tooth today and am in back-to-back meetings again (right now, in fact).Breakfast was grapefruit, cornbread and tea. Lunch was avocado and cheese sandwich, chips and cookie with water.

I'm still sore from exercise, but managed another 20 minutes this morning. The I had grapefruit and cornbread with tea before dashing off to all-day meetings at work. Oh boy! I think they're feeding us though.Well we weren't supposed to be fed, but I had to give an impromptu demo during the lunch break, so those of us at the demo got fed.

This is such an uncivilized hour! For a week I've gotten up early, fed the cat and crawled back into bed for several more hours sleep (I should be sleeping right now), but not today. This morning I hit snooze only once and got up at the ghastly hour of, well sometime between 6:00 and 6:15. I was too bleary-eyed to really focus.

Went back to bed with Spouse for a bit :) Played with my new editor which is now a toy for both of us since Spouse is going to rewire it to make it safer (it's just a lamp).

I still have no details other than they had to do a c-section (which was how Liz, the mother, was born as well) and mother and baby are doing fine. I still don't even know her name! As soon as Liz is p for phone calls, she's going to let us know herself, so I'm waiting for mom and A to get the news.Breakfast was a grapefruit half and tea. Lunch will be at Lock Ober at 2:00. They've reopened for

I was officially on vacation at 12:45 this afternoon! Hooray! Plus I just found out that my stepsister is in labor. New baby!The weekend was rather nice. Spouse and I went out to dinner Saturday where I didn't finish anything of my fish, potato or squash. Sunday we had folks over for a roast dinner or lamb (or seitan), roast potato, parsnip and carrot, peas, broccoli and gravy. Dessert was a

It became Spring today at 7:44am. Yay Spring!Breakfast this morning was tea and grapefruit, but I got really hungry on the train in and got more food :( They have traded the english muffins for biscuits for the breakfast sandwiches at the refectory, which just wasn't as tasty (and would have been nice if it had been labelled as a biscuit.) Oh well.Lunch was avocado and cucumber sushi and fresh

So breakfast was grapefruit and tea. And I'm hungry.Lunch was red rice with sautéed cabbage and onions, plus a small bowl of leek and apple soup. And my second bottle of water.I had to work late to film a public lecture, but decided not to stay to the reception and instead go out for some food. Hit Grendel's Den for spinach pie, rice and a garnish of a salad (leaf of lettuce torn into bites and a

But it felt like it! We had a brunch at work in honour of our facilities staff and there was a ton of food leftover, much of which ended up right outside my office. Sigh.I'm better today though having breakfasted on grapefruit, onion soup and bread and tea. Lunch was a salad and water with some Smartfood as a snack.Dinner was pizza that was too salty and too much beer (to quench that salt thirst

I mostly at granola, rissoto and seitan over the weekend, with copious amounts of beer thrown in for good measure. I've been able to maintain my weight for a while now, which is good, but really need to start thinking about exercise to start losing some of this weight. Spouse has decided to limit when he eats (he's tried this before) to somehow help his sleeping pattern. He said he will not heat

I'm wondering what to do with the dried cherries I bought last week. They seemed okay in the steamed pudding I did on Sunday (better than the cakey part, that's fer sher!), but they're a bit too sour for anything else. I tried them in my cream of Wheat this morning and needed some maple syrup with it as well. They might work for a sauce for meat (or "meat") though.

Spouse and I have been married for 800 days today! Go us! I'm really rather pleased how well I've taken to the whole marriage thing. Not that I'm the perfect spouse at all, but we manage to find ways to make it work for us.Brekkies this morning was oatmeal with a small spoonful of maple syrup and tea. Lunch was tofu and veg noodly thing and a jack fruit shake at Le's in the square with Spouse. He

Tons of food, tons of booze.Today I had orange juice, tea and toast a bit of butter and jam for breakfast. Lunch was leftover mashed potatoes, vegan fillet mignon and water.Dinner was a repeat of lunch but with broccoli.

A friend used to say that she had the Good Ovary and the Bad Ovary. When she had a period without complaints, it was a Good Ovary Month. The month with all the yuckiness was a Bad Ovary Month. When I woke up at 3:00am, I knew this was a Bad Ovary Month. Fortunately for me, I have a wonderful spouse. He was up all night so when he knew it was time for me to get up, he put the kettle on and came in

I did hear my alarm, but then I hit snooze. When I woke up again, an hour had passed! So I only had time for a bit of tea and the other grapefruit half from yesterday's breakfast (apparently Spouse didn't eat it.) I managed to make it to work only a couple minutes late, which was good. Surprising though as getting dressed took a while. I decided to pull out my girdle today. It's a long Ragu OBG

Okay, I've gotten this three meals a day thing down, now I need to make them a bit healthier so maybe I can lose some weight (exercise wouldn't hurt either). Breakfast this morning was half a grapefruit, half of the last oat scone, bowl of strawberries and Ubiquitous Tea.Lunch was veggie lasagna and salad (with sesame dressing) and water. I had 2 chocolate-covered cherries as a snack and a diet

Breakfast was the same as yesterday. I really need to pick up some more fruit and the makings of granola this week (and maybe some more flour for bread) so I can have some variety in my breakfasts.Lunch will be leftover tetrazinni from the other night.Had a bad snack of a Milky Way from the vending machine and one chocolate covered cherry.And dinner was leftover chili with 2 cornmuffins and 1

I waited until after 7:00 to get ready for work, by which time the bosses had already emailed to say they were staying home Got dressed, but the hair up in victory roll (and the snood does not stay on o well with half the amount of hair in it) and checked email one last time before heading out. School opening is delayed until noon. Like I'm going to be in any mood to leave the house then! Feh!

Saturday was so nice without grades hanging over my head. Although I had several students emailing because HW2 was due. Breakfast was Cream of Wheat with dried strawberries, then I shopped for Sunday dinner and picked up spicy noodles for lunch. Took myself out to dinner at the Franklin Cafe (Southie) and had a Manhattan, tuna tartar over tofu, butternut squash spring rolls with creme fresh, an

I know what I'm having for lunch! Yay, leftovers!I overslept yet again, but at least I slept, unlike Spouse. He's still sick, mainly all congested and snotty. I gave him some Tylenol Sinus this morning and he was amazed.Spouse: They're pills?Me: Yes, we have three different decongestants, I think these will be good.Spouse: And they get rid of snot?Me: Yes.Spouse: I should have been taking these

I massively overslept as I didn't get to slept until 12:30ish and then woke up at 3:00. But I still managed breakfast of tea and granola.Lunch was veggie lasagna and salad (and not enough water). I'm sipping a diet Coke in class right now.Dinner was oh so good "chicken" pot pie! I gave my recipe to Office Mate yesterday as he was looking for something he could make with what he had left in the

Spouse offered to prepare my breakfast this morning, which was really sweet! I declined the offer though, since I'm a little muddled in the morning and am just not prepared for that sort of thing. I can't tell him what I want for breakfast if I haven't yet figured that out. When I did decide, I went for an egg, which I wouldn't have him prepare for me anyway since he's allergic. So breakfast was

Late at night (after midnight when we got home) I had vegetable lomein and a fortune cookie too. Oh, and a small peanut butter bar at friend's birthday party.Sunday:Tea, bread and butter were my only food until dinner. Had beer while grading homework and cooking (I stopped grading

Maybe the thing I really need is 10 hours of sleep a day. I feel so much better when I get it. No breakfast as I've been in bed, but I've got the kettle on for tea and will need to think about lunch.Lunch was noodle with butter and cheese. I later had a beer while tidying. I hadn't been doing my 56 minutes in the bedroom as I should, so I did 25 minutes while watching 'Dark Shadows.' Dinner is

Mainly I'm just light-headed, but I really didn't fancy walking to the T in the rain this morning when I'm so woozy. A co-worker was out for two days with vertigo, (and it was one of my boss's symptoms too), so I know it's not unusual, it's just weird. It's kind of like when I was super doped up after my surgery, but more lucid.I had a huge breakfast of two "bacon" sandwiches and tea this morning

Not that I'm actually embarrassed today, I'm just really flushed. I don't feel sick enough to justify staying home (although I might bail on class), but I'm not quite well either.Breakfast was half of a really huge and juicy grapefruit (getting my C at least), boiled egg with buttered toast, Ubiquitous Tea. And a round of World of Goo, the insanely cute and addictive game I bought last night
