On the road

Nutrition notes: Spent the day traveling to St. Paul and back, so food was mostly a road affair. I think I did ok on calories, but my nutrition continues to be pretty weak. Had a burger and fries for lunch, because it was just easier than trying to pick something better off the limited menu of the museum grill. Still not focused, I guess. Had some ice cream at DQ on ride home, but only ate half and finsihed the day with Cheese Pizza at home. I'd give it a C+ if I were grading. Next 5 days must be better to meet my two pound weight loss goal for next Tuesday.

Exercise: With three prior workout days in a row, I had today scheduled as an off day. It seemed to work out well. I tried to counteract all the car time with a short dog walk this a.m. and by being on my feet at our museum visit for much of the three hours there. Still it was a low motion day and tomorrow I will need to be back at it. That's a test of commitment, must run or go to the Y on Friday after work...

Random musings: Not much to say today. I'm back to work tomorrow after a week off, so I'm hoping to maintain the momentum I've developed during my time off.
Today was a fun day. I went with Anne, the kids and my Mom to the Minnesota Science Museum. The featured exhibit was King Tut and the Pharaohs, which was excellent. The rest of the museum was pretty cool too, and very kid friendly.

I always enjoy trips to the Twin Cities, although the weather gods made sure it was crappy to dampen my fantasy of relocating there. In reality I like La Crosse and it would probably benefit me to plan on being here a while:)

I have an interview for Edgewood's doctoral program next Wednesday, which should be one of the deciders on which direction I go with further education. The good news is they would take my transfer credits from Capella, the bad news is I'm never sure if I really want a doctorate.

All's well and the mission continues...
