Gym
Went to the gym today.
Swam 2 laps as warm up, did… 4 (maybe 3? I forgot) laps freestyle, and then a 2 lap cool down.
Showered, ran/jogged 25 minutes.
Light ab work, and then bench press and some leg work. Sorry this updates a little sparse. I gotta be up early tomorrow. Monday starts the once weekly but more inclusive exercise updates.

Hummus!
We have a bunch of dried chickpeas, and I had a jar of giardiniera which was mostly unused. So, I decided to make some hummus! Giardiniera hummus!
Seriously, it doesn’t actually get any better than this.
Oh wait no. So, apparently, I have some sun dried tomatoes lying around? Hell yes.
Food: Giardiniera Hummus! Warning, this recipe is for about… two quarts? So, if you know you...

Balsamic Brussels Sprouts!
So. I decided to make myself some dinner, and looked in the fridge, just to realize that we didn’t really have much of anything to make. Some canned tomatoes, corn, and beans, a tiny little block of cheese, some milk, and a bunch of dried grains. At a bit of a loss, I pulled open the vegetable crisper, and saw that we had a bunch of Brussels Sprouts that had been in there for a couple of...

Guh.
Today wasn’t a particularly good day.
I ate some Raisin bread this morning, but I threw it up. After work, I ate falafel sandwich, and hung out feeling sick, but starting to feel better.
Don’t know what I’ll do about dinner. However, I haven’t had much physical activity today, so it sort of balances out a little.
Sort of.

Gym!
So today was just supposed to be a biking day, but I said screw it, then just went ahead and swam as well.
I swam for about 10 minutes I’d say. I woulda gone a little longer, but I got out of the pool to pee, and it was packed when I got back, so I didn’t wanna wait around. Afterwards I biked for just over two miles. Did some light ab work, some pull ups, and dips.
Had some leftover...

Breakfast
There was some Trader Joe’s Cranberry Apple Butter in our fridge, from Brads mom. It was pretty good, and I thought it would go really good on some toast. Brad got some Cinnamon Raisin Bread, so I toasted two slices, and put some of the Cran-apple butter on one, and some Peanut Butter on the other.
The Cran-apple butter, while good, wasn’t as goon on the raisin toast as the peanut...

Mmmm...
I went to the gym. On the way, I stopped off and got a falafel sandwich, which was falafel, tomato, aioli, and lettuce in a pita. It came with some chips that I didn’t eat.
At the gym, I swam for about 15-20 minutes, showered, ran for 25 minutes, (burned about 310 calories— did around 2.3 miles), then hit a couple of the machines. I did the rowing machine for 5 minutes, used some...

Post the First.
I plan on posting here a fitness tracker, a diet tracker, as well as recipes for some of (or even most) of the things I make.
If possible, I’ll post pictures of everything as well.
