Everything Eaten Yesterday

You are burning more than 600 calories with serious cleaning / furniture moving like that, shewolf. If you go to livestrong.com (The Daily Plate tab),you can not only track your food, (calories, fats, carbs, proteins, sodium, etc), you can also add activities that show how many calories you have burned and how many more you can consume for the day. For instance, "Cleaning - multiple household tasks, vigorous 60.0 minutes" equals -335.0 calories. Three hours of the school type cleaning would basically eat all but a few hundred of your calories even if you are limiting yourself to 1300 per day. You would need to enter your data (height/weight/weekly weight loss goal/level of activity) to be more accurate re: calories you need. Unless you initially enter your activity level as high, you can take off those calories as additional burned calories. I set mine to light / office job so that when I go to the gym or walk I can take them off seperately from "normal" activity. I need that as incentive.

Okay, I saw bok choy in the whole foods market yesterday. Have seen it posted here. Didn't know what to do with it. Did you cook it with the rice or...?

The Lovely Bride cooked it.
Stir-fry in a wok with a soy-based sauce.
The rice was boiled basmati rice.

I luuuurve bok choy with soy sauce/rice vinegar with winter mushrooms.... soooo simple, and soooo delicious.

i ahd mahi mahi 2 bowls of rice soy sauce beans and ribs and oh pizza 1 sliceand the day before that 4 homemade burritos soaked in habenero sauce.

Ogi, chiles are good for you, mostly. Probably not good for people with some gastrointestinal problems.

I'll have to pick some bok choy up next time I'm there and give that a try.

I LOVE soy sauce / rice vinegar dishes.

Coffee w/ sugarfree french vanilla creamer

Day 15? / 181.2 / -1.0 from yesterday (?)

You'd fit right in at our house.

I know she puts some slices of ginger in the oil once it heats up.
She makes the sauce with soy and -- I think -- cornstarch and adds it when the
vegetables have cooked down a bit.

Correction: Day 14 / 181.2 / -1.0 since Saturday.

George - I'll be right over! I got on a rice vinegar kick last year. Will have to think about what I prepared with it or what even kicked it off. Seem to remember it coinciding with my curry kick and cucmber w/ plain yogurt indulgence.

I like baby boc raw.

The leaves have a ...almost drying taste to them with just a little sweet.
The white stalks are sweet.

I love it.

You can ad it to anything.

Today's exercise was I just got in from 30 minutes of snow shoveling. The snow by the driveway apron is particularly heavy. Oh and today is 1 year since I started taking the weight loss drug, alli. It has changed my life.

PS My waist is now 37". When I started off, it was 49". This is a pretty typical measurement difference from last year.

PPS 75.6 lbs. to go!

49 to 37!
Day-um

Heh, yeah. When I was 16, it was 29". Dunno if I'll get it down quite that far.

Great to read that number, Jes.

33 and holding.. down from I can't remember what, might have been 38.
I think I remember wearing 24 inch belts. Well, that was a century ago.

Okay, my research is showing that sitting around, eating cheese and drinking beer while watching football ... I have a lot of role models... does not significantly help me to reach my goal.

B: grapefruit, toast and coffee/milk.
L: turkey on a buttered bagel, coffee and apple muffin
D: The last of the shrimp, the last of the beer (2), a piece of Swiss, a piece of Gouda.

okay. back to it.

If it would stop frigging snowing, I could get some miles in!
