Some dietary adjustments

Meta-issue: it's clear that, as long as I'm taking 600mg ibuprofen each morning per doctor's orders, I had best make sure to NOT take it when my stomach contains nothing but coffee. Yerk.

I've replaced my elevenses cheese-and-nuts with carrots-and-hummus, and I have canned salmon to put in my salad, and once I finish my current bottle of salad dressing I have a lower-fat one to use instead (assuming it doesn't taste like ass, but so far, my experience has been that low-fat is usually tolerable and it's fat-free that you need to avoid like poison).

I would like more time to have a better breakfast, that is something more than "a slice of sprouted wheat toast with a wedge of spready cheese", but since next week begins MIGHTY FUCKING EARLY hours I don't know how likely this is to occur.

Was horrible this weekend. Cheese and booze and I know not what else. I have no place looking down my nose at others' lack of self-control, indeed I do not.

Fun New Aerobic Exercise Time Is Now

Running ist verboten, so I had a 25-minute go at the elliptical instead. I'm not entirely sure I have escaped without scathe, as things feel a little weird in the knee region and I got a twinge (in a completely different part of the joint! Hurray!) as I was walking up the stairs on my way back, but I don't actually hurt at the moment.

Our gym does not in fact have the foam roll whatsit I'm supposed to use for the illotibial thingummy, so will have to check sporting-goods-store-of-choice and do that exercise at home.

I've also been using sweh's Wii Fit, insofar as I can without doing any activities that require deep knee bends, squats, etc. (I'd guesstimate that cuts out maybe 15% of what I've unlocked as yet.) Me likey, even if I'm terrible at the ski jump. I am working out how best to integrate a daily dose into my schedule without undue disruption to his life (or mine. As I was sitting there going "well, okay, I could get up at 5am, ride my bike down, do a half hour, ride back, get ready for work, and make the 6:56 train..." Um yeah maybe not).
