All alone here in Failutions Land

Hello?

Yeah, okay.

According to livestrong, I burned over 2,000 calories today! Even if that's slightly exaggerated, 4.5 hours of heavy-duty gardening (digging, weeding, moving concrete blocks) is quite the workout.

Now excuse me while I pass out.

Monday Update

So I again failed to wake up at 5 AM, ugh. I can't seem to do it anymore. I think I might have to resort to putting my phone on the opposite side of the room so it forces me to have to get up. I have always thought of this as being the absolute last resort, reserved for the laziest of the lazy, the most pathetic on the planet. Yet here I am, placing my phone on the kitchen table. Sigh, let's hope it's not permanent.

Anyways, I went to the gym tonight. Pretty good workout. Gym was a bit more packed than I would have liked, but still manageable.

Tracked my food intake on livestrong.

Made up a list of things to do at work this morning and actually accomplished them. I feel good about that, but still felt unproductive for a few hours. I also realized I forgot all about Fourier Transforms and the Nyquist Theorum. How sad. So very sad.

As I mentioned on Hayley's post, I have been thinking a lot about the idea of eating animals. Ever since I have gotten all emo about life and death, I have thought about whether or not I really am comfortable with eating meat. It's not a life changing dilemma, or something that keeps me up at night, just something that's been nagging at me for a while now. I'll be checking packaging and asking around at the grocery stores I frequent to make sure they buy humanely treated animals. Is it fairly common now? Trader Joe's should have a decent selection of that, can't say the same for Food Max. Either way, I don't eat much meat right now. Just 4 oz. every other night. We'll see where this leads.

A new resolution

I've thought about this a lot lately, and I've resolved to stop eating meat or animal products from restaurants unless I can be sure that the animals were raised humanely.

It struck me how useless it is when I buy cafe-free eggs or free-range chickens at home when I go out the next night to a restaurant where the chef doesn't have the same scruples.

This won't have a huge impact on me, since most of the restaurants I go to already buy humanely, but I'm just informing you guys so you'll know.
