It is one of life's great tragedies that 8 macadamia nuts have 144 calories! Wouldn't it be great if just one food like that had only 1 calorie per nut?
Yes. I like sugar snap peas, but they just don't have that creamy texture!
Young whippersnapper!!!
I don''t think I saw my first personal type computer til i was sometime in college... and my very first personal computer that I owned myself I was in my mid 20s - and it had a whopping 40 mg hard drive that had to be partitioned because the system couldn't handle anything that large
Damn I'm old
LOL. After that, I'm scared to say how old I was!

Exercise
1/2 hour tae bo. (269 cal)
Well I have been trying as hard as possible to get that exercise in asap after I get home. It turns out that a whole bunch of time that I figured I must be just idling through, is actually catching up with the kids and husband, and changing my clothes, and starting/restarting the washing machine etc. Expecting myself to fit in the whole hour of tae bo that I was aiming at just seems to be frustrating. Yet, the half hour would be good if I just accepted that this is what it was supposed to be. I do feel like a piker, leaving in the middle of a tape that has an instructor who keeps saying, "Just keep going, just keep going..." LOL. I think I am going to just accept shorter amounts of exercise in my busier periods. Feeling stressed isn't a goal I'm aiming for. So I want to be more accepting of fluctuations in the amount of time I spend exercising while I'm working. I'd like to make sure there's some without feeling like I messed up just because it's not as long as I'd prefer.
I see the food calories are staying up. I've tried a few things to make the food day seem more satisfying and less bothersome but really I don't think the extra food is necessarily achieving the "less bothersome" part of that. Seeing as the exercise is happening less I think I should take a bit of the food out of lunch. Maybe keep the soup as back up if there's no where to warm the other food, cut back the amount of protein in the sandwich. I might take one serve of fruit out of the day too. This isn't radical - just back closer to the amounts I was eating a short time ago.
You really eat a good variety of food and food groups, you should really be proud of yourself for doing that. Well I hope your day is a very good one, AND I hope you've been getting REST!!! Talk to you later gator!
