The Power of A Noid

At the end of the workday, I let someone rent space in my brain and I got annoyed (get it? "A Noid"). Exercise is the best solution because I can turn that emotion into muscle power, so instead of heading straight home, I biked from work on Fairview (offices behind Lowes) to the Subway across from Safeway on North Carson. This involved going up Stewart, crossing west at Telegraph, and working north on Curry and Division. Probably two miles, mostly very-small-gradient uphills.

Ordered the usual 6" veggie on wheat, and went outside to find my bike tipped over on some patio furniture. My front bike cable was almost ripped out and my bike chain was off. Had to call the spouse to get me down to the Bike Shop before it closed. As it was, I walked in there five minutes before they closed. They patiently rechained me. My damn fault.

As I type this, I'm still kicking myself for letting my frustration and, yes, anger get the best of me. What's worse is I predicted what would happen a week ago! AARRGGHH!!!

Maybe I better get back on the bike. Or maybe I'll go for a jog. Or maybe find a sturdy wall and smack some sense into my head.

- Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 crispy slices of bacon, 2 pieces of wheat toast, cottage cheese, two cups of coffee.
- Lunch: A small thing of mandarin oranges, a can of peaches and a small thing of strawberry yogurt. (Mixed those together. Yum.)
- Snacks: 8 glasses of water, trail mix with M&Ms, and 2 cherry pop-tarts.
- Dinner: Subway veggie sandwich, 20 ounces of Gatorade, a fat-free or reduced chocolate popsicle.

Tried to calculate calories and stopped after breakfast: 765 calories. I easily busted 2000 calories overall. And this was a light day for food! Little wonder why I don't lose weight. The upside is it was a low fat and high water day.
