Scrubbed the tub (hard water sucks) and spent 2 1/2 hours backing/washing dishes/ etc. Considering it a workout as now the back is sore... *sigh*

Did roughly 2 hours of Tai Chi (24 step contemporary) and Hsing-I practice (wu hsing and chong hap), immediately followed by a little over 3 hours of Arnis practice (footwork w/ hitting).
Walked (trudged?) around 20 minutes to commute home; noontime sun was hot.
Hands, feet and neck are now sore.

Some biking, some weights - same old, same old - except for I went up in weight on a couple of machines. It may be a little progress, but it's good progress!

More cleaning today. This time about 2 hrs of washing pretty much everything usable in the kitchen. Back sore, really tired. Hopefully, I'll be able to do some cardio tomorrow *sigh*

EDIT: Wow, look at the collective thinking just now! Time of last 3 posts 17:01, 17:03 and 17:04! Weird.

Hey, SigmaNunki, your house must be spanky clean by now. Cleaning does burn those calories.

Trying to reduce the sweets, but having more success increasing work than decreasing calories.

About a 1/2 hr walk about today with more cleaning. Too much in fact. Pretty much generated by everything I did today going wrong i.e. I believe I was gods kickball today.

@Siri:

It's getting there. I'm pretty much playing catch-up e.g. even though the bathtub gets its weekly cleaning, it still got (what I believe are) hard water stains. It's a lot better, but still needs work (1-3 soakings will probably do it, then there's the tiles...). Then there's the re-organization that I've been doing so I actually have room to do things. But that's almost done.

A couple more days should make everything come together. Though, I'm not sure where those days will fall.

@FlatTop:
"""

I did it the opposite way i.e. I decreased sweets first. I'm still struggling with the activity part of things though.

If I might make a suggestion about the sweets. What I've done for snacks periodically lately, is make Focaccia bread. Using Balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil for dipping will give a variable kick of flavour depending on how much you soak the bread It freezes well, so spending a little bit on the week end will yield a fair amount of snacks during the week. Not to mention that kneading dough is a workout in and of itself.

If fact, looking up the proper spelling for Balsamic gave its wikipedia entry which had a link to a desert Panna Cotta. Me thinks I have an experiment for tomorrow

Basically, what I've found is that if I limit the bulk of my sweets, etc to what I make myself, I tend to eat less. Not to mention that the stuff people make themselves is probably going to be far more healthy than what is found in stores.

At any rate, just a suggestion as it has helped me. And even if you're not cooking inclined, you're still doing great work! Keep it up
