I've started on a general cleanout of notebooks. This will take a while, as I'm a sentimental soul. Dozens of notebooks are from my design work - years of saving design related articles, photos of gardens, how to build stuff, triggers for design (e.g., photo of a violin, that I like for the lines), thick crappo on irrigation design, and so on. Then there's the food notebooks, which I'm starting on first, with intention of throwing 4/5ths of the recipes out...

but what happens? I see all these old cut out recipes from magazines and newspapers, and scrawled notes by my ex or me on our own kitchen efforts -for what now look like really healthy spreads, dips, bruschetta toppings, veggie soups unlike the ones I've been making. I did manage to toss some of the recipes, but not 4/5ths.
This shows me how internet dependent I've become when I've still my cookbook resources and my old notebooks...

Expect some new food items in my routine postings.

day 340/164.4/-8.2

Well, yesterday was an example of a truly dumb food day for me.
Let this be a lesson..

1) 1 coffee, 1/2 tsp sugar
2) 1 cookie (oatmeal, raisins, walnuts, choc chips, dried cranberries)
3) three sturdy handfuls of fritos. I have not had any fritos for... decades. They're basically salt licks; 1 vernor's ginger ale, two glasses ice water
4) poor hamburger, of which I ended up eating 1/2 the thin weirdly dry patty and 1/4 the execrable bun with a few chopped jalapenos
5) something like 1/6 of the allotted sweet potato fries with a few squirts of ketchup; iced tea, 1 packet sugar
6) a glass of bourbon and water and a bunch of ice
7) a little bit of leftover skirt steak

Illuminating to know this about Frank Bruni, whom I always read when I see his articles -

Good for him for explaining.

I am really sick of gaining and/or staying the same, and I am working out like a fiend, plus I'm eating what I'm supposed to. I suspect my fat % is somewhat lower than my BMI would indicate, making it harder and harder to clip off fat.
