I’m truly a sad person. Yes, on the way to the train station… I bought more plants. To be fair I know that I will be out of the ones I have before the pots are full, so it was a necessary purchase. And, dammit, I found a zucchini plant when I was there. It’s not that I really dislike it. No, it’s the sudden jump to super squash after a couple of days of rain (and therefore, not checking them daily). This invariably starts the cycle of zucchini bread and the dreaded (but tasty) chocolate zucchini cake. It’s probably the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had. I should probably look out the recipes now and figure out the best acceptable way to make it. Better to be prepared, right?

Although I didn’t log it, and the watch unit isn’t handy, I did wear the HRM this morning for a while. I took it off at lunch when I realized that I was getting to get a stripe around my wrist. The basic data showed between 250 and 300 cals per hour, depending on tasks. Carrying stuff upstairs, and lifting pots and moving them to the other end of the yard was obviously the higher hour. I’m not really using that info for anything, was just curious. Of course sitting on my ass at the desk would probably generate at least half that number, but still better for me. I’m hoping to get the bulk of the planting done tomorrow and Sunday. No matter though, Monday I’m going back to my regularly scheduled exercise routine.

Food for the day:

Total: 2150 (25% fat, 42% carbs, 31% protein)

Breakfast: chocolate pecan bread, jam, fruit salad (276)
AM Snack: soy nuts (134)
Lunch: BBQ Pork, roasted veggies, apple (427)
PM Snack: protein shake, soy nuts (269)
Dinner: lasagne, snow peas, butter, salad w/dressing (650)
Late Snack: fruit salad, biscotti, protein shake (395)

I took these this morning (and I’m going back to them tomorrow)….

Sadly, I can tell already…. not enough. To be fair, most of the veggie plants went into the bed that the cat is checking out.

This is the last of the three lunches. I suspect I might look for more of a recipe next time (not just BBQ sauce and a few added items). However it did work out very well. Between the three items I won’t have to do anything other than roast veggies every three days or so until about mid-July. Probably longer as I’ll likely still have lunch meat once a week (as my mother will still be buying it for herself).
