minutia

Taking stock of what you actually consume on a day-to-day basis can feel tedious. A food journal seemed too post-modern and touchy feely to me. So I decided to use a site I heard about. Logging my food and exercise into this website everyday has given me a new insight into what I eat in my idyllic world. Trying to find beet salad with goat cheese and local greens is tough. You have to de-romanticize your food and enter 2 cups mixed greens, raw; 1/2 cup beets, cooked without fat, 2 oz goat cheese. Nevertheless, it's a good exercise in looking at my meals and how it breaks down in terms of calories and vs. exercise.

Today was my day off from workouts. Tomorrow, it's back to the gym, where ideas for new exercises will be observed from various folks taking their lunch break to exercise, as well.
