Dorky Night Weigh In

Occasional L&TM5K commenter gl. had a very brisk birthday party last week -- 36 minutes -- at which Honorable Vice Dork Emeritus Fingerstothebone was kind enough to slip me this item. I show it here because I believe that she was not really giving it to me alone so much as to the entire L&TM5K community. Alone, we are nothing; together, we are Dork.



Hey, speaking of birthdays and dorkiness, check it out! I got a European-style boardgame for my birthday!

I've never played it, but I've seen other people playing it, and it's so... mappy. And pretty.

I bring this up because it's a 3-4 person game, and there are only two of Mrs.5000 & me, unless you count Caliban, and frankly he stinks at strategy games. So, any of you City of Rose people feel like throwing down?

Monday Night Weigh-In!

Fitness-Type Activities Engaged in this week: Eleven days ago, I did something that always gives me much joy: I created a spreadsheet. In this case, it is a spreadsheet of exercise. And, I think it's working: I've entered a value for distance run or biked for 10 of the last 11 days.

Diet-Type Activities: There were lots of celebrations over the last few weeks, but in general I think I've been doing a reasonable job of eating relatively sensibly.

Tomatoes: Mrs.5000's garden tomatoes have been ripening!

Now, of course I was curious to find out whether every tomato person on the planet was right, and garden-fresh tomatoes are just that much better! And you know, despite my bluster, it certainly seemed likely that such common knowledge would turn out to be correct. Verdict? Well... I will allow that the intensely flavorful garden tomatoes seem not to be, as I had feared, much worse than the store-bought variety.

Only a little worse.

I'M TRYING!!!

Weight: 206.2 lbs, which is -2.2 lbs from two weeks ago. But, I think I might be a little dehydrated.
