April 28th, 2024 Sunday. I made it out today to water my little tree I have hidden away. I tossed on some expired outmeal to compost into the ground, then watered away, but I noticed that the leaves that had opened up on the top of the tree have up and vanished. I'm guessing they were torn...

@MadamMeow Yeah, I suppose the devices have issues. I've got a FitBit and I've seen it do something called "Active Minutes" that say I've had 20 more "Active Minutes" then I actually worked out for. So good at working out, I've been the space-time continuum to fit more exercise in. :LOL:. I...

Thanks, @Mamatigerj ! I didn't realize you were from the area! Just imagine... the rainy season is almost done. :LOL: April 22nd, 2024 Well, hurrah! The buscuits are gone! I'm also trying switching up what I have for lunch and improve the full feeling to calorie intake ratio.. Hopefully...

April 19th, 2024 Friday! A long, drawn out day, but everything that needed to get done got done. Even got a tool repaired at work! Plans are made for Monday, so work is finished. Walk/Jog. If I remember right, and based on my Fitbit logs, I fell asleep after getting home from work, then...

April 16th, 2024 Virtually no memory of this day. The whole week has been recovery from switching over from swing shift to regular shift because of last week. That means a lot of sleep got missed and more is getting missed now. I know I did some stuff, and remember the workouts. Mostly...

April 15th, 2024 Just another day at work. Didn't get as many steps in as I wanted, and probably could have used the extra calories from those steps, too. Power HIIT - Day 15. Core and a bit of upper body. I used the 10 lbs weights and found it easy enough. Maybe should have tried the 15s...

April 13th and 14th, 2024 Ever have one of those weekends where you can't tell if it was long or short because your sleep schedule is all messed up? Just me? Okay... Power HIIT - Days 13 and 14. Lower body, then upper body. I found the 10 pound weights a bit much for the lower body, but...

April 8th through 12th, 2024 Really, really meant to do these every night... It's been a week of working swing shift, 5 in the afternoon until 2 in the morning, so I'm running on caffeine and junk food. Very not good long term. Good news, the project that has me doing this should be done...

April 4th through 7th, 2024 Eventually, I'll start doing these every night again. Power HIIT - Days 4 - 7. On the 5th (I think), I wound up falling asleep and not getting any workout done. Consecutive Days Exercising counter reset. :giveup: I doubled up on the 7th, though, so I'm caught back...

Thank you @Fremen , @Mamatigerj , @MadamMeow ! April 1st through 3rd, 2024 New month, new programs! Let's see, what happened... someone tried to side swipe me in traffic today! Fun times! Power HIIT - Days 1 - 3. Days 1 and 2 were full body, while Day 3 focused on core. My choices of...

March 26th - 31st, 2024 - Days. Lots of Days. Cardio and Abs Program. - Days 25 to 30. The cardio trended towards changing the exercises to be less fast paced (slow high knees and butt kicks, seal step jacks, ect). There are a bunch of reasons, but they sound like excuses when I say them in my...

March 24th, 2024 - Sunday It's rainy out. I probably should have gone to the gym, but something stopped me. It's Tuesday early morning when I'm writing this, so I don't know what that was, but it happened. That put me in the park, with the strong possibility of rain at any given time, to do...

March 21st, 2024 - Thursday Well, now it's late. I planned on doing an upper body workout, but work called with something... unpleasant. Well, I guess it's overtime pay for me. I got the main program and challenge done, though. Cardio and Abs Program. - Day 20. Abs. The Dead Bugs took a...

March 18th, 2024 - Monday Trying again. 228 grams of carrots amd 3 tsps of canola oil, which turns into 1.5 tsps because of spillage. Set the oven for 425 F and let it roll for 20 mintues. They were still pretty crunchy that way, though they were showing getting a little more carmalized and...

March 17th, 2024 - Sunday Okay, 224 grams of carrots and four tsp / 19 mL of canola oil, the cooked uncovered at 375 F / 190 C for 20 minutes . The carrots were still crunchy, not chewy like before. But there was a very little bit of carmalization on them, so going in the right direction...
