Medium hills today, a little faster pace than my usual hill workouts and at lower incline. I ended up cutting it 15 minutes short so I could do some watering out in the garden - it's been hot and dry.

Winter squash - I never knew I liked it! I think I didn't like the name and didn't give it a proper try. Mmmm - delicata, butternut, acorn.

Another 3+ hour photo walk, when I came back the thermometer read 95. After lunch, I pitted 8+ pounds of cherries, ate some along the way to keep up my strength don't you know.
Foods	Where to buy pb2?	May 12 2013 13:04 (UTC)	1
Original Post by coach_k: The problem with PB2 is that they added sugar to it... I don't eat PB with added sugar, and so if I'm cooking I still don't want sugar in my PB. If they made one that was just peanuts, I might be onboard with it. I agree with meganr -- adding water to make it in an ersatz PB results in a vile concoction (for me), but I have used it (before I finally tossed the jar) in protein smoothies for extra protein. I buy this stuff: Peanut Flour - it's peanuts only. For 1/4 cup, it's 100 calories and 12 grams of protein. You definitely have to add it to something or bake it in something.

I think this stuff is the same as what is also called peanut flour - it's just peanuts with the fats pressed out of them. I buy this product from Byrd Mill and use it to bake up some pretty tasty breakfast "cakes" (not sweet but not sure what else to call them) - that I eat every morning. Supposedly you can add water to it and it's like peanut butter - I tried that and it was pretty awful compared to eating the real thing. For me, the appeal is that I can bump up my protein a lot for not too many calories. That leaves me lots of wiggle room in the calorie budget to have real nut butter later.

Morning: 3.5 hour walk with camera gear. Sooo excited, I saw our 94th species of bird here, a Spotted Sandpiper on the river. Got a good picture of that and another good image of a Killdeer, plus a bunch of wildflowers. Great walk, if a bit sweaty. Afternoon: 1 hour walk to the mailbox (our mailbox is 1.6 miles from the house). All I carried was my water jug.

Books	Top 10 English Literary Works of the 20th Century	May 09 2013 21:23 (UTC)	1
Original Post by kevinatthebrook: Original Post by meganr: What group of "readers" were surveyed for that list? L Ron Hubbard, good grief. But! I have not read Darkness at Noon so maybe I'll add that to my to do list. I was thinking the same thing as I was writing the post. With 4 of the top 10 by a single author you have to think it's a fairly restricted demographic. I wouldn't have put the Scientologists in with the Ayn Rand lovers, that's sort of an odd pairing.

Weight Loss	Family/friends support? Ridicule? Dismissal?	May 09 2013 15:38 (UTC)	6
I didn't talk much about what I was doing to lose weight either - I just did it. When people started noticing and asking "how I was doing it", and I saw their eyes start glazing over when I told them, I basically decided not to bother with those discussions. I agree to save it for CC or if you do find friends going down the same path as you who are open to talking about it.

10 minutes warmup Metabolics: 4 rounds BW stepups/db swing 4 rounds jump rope/bw squat 4 rounds mountain climbers/side shuffle touch 4 rounds burpees/waiters walk Edit: forgot the pushups/walking lunges 4 rounds Can't make class tonight, so then did 35 minutes yoga. Worked on bakasana, did a lot better, esp. in the shoulders. (Or as the teacher says: it's the same as chaturanga shoulders!)
Foods	The Chase for the Green Potassium Bar!	May 08 2013 19:34 (UTC)	4
I think you are correct that the potassium in many foods is not being counted in CC's analysis, but I think you must be choosing a different database entry for spinach than I. Whenever I add spinach to my food log, my potassium "bar" goes green.
