It was a good workout. Probably helped that I'd slept well last night. Although I noticed that I flagged a little in the afternoon as headed to my last class of the day. I doubt that the workout had anything to do with it, more likely had to do with the 2 hour break between classes.
Before I forget I might as well finish today's post. Nothing really to add for the rest of the day. Finished up the assignment given for Statics today (seemed easy) and will check with someone else tomorrow (ie. someone I trust) to make sure we agree. We did part of it today and already agree on those. I'm going to have a lot of work for Active Citizenship over the next few weeks, but hopefully it won't need a huge amount of effort.
~12900 steps today
Food for the day:
Total: 1877 calories (24% fat, 25% protein, 51% carbs) 1727 before the protein shake
Pre-WO - protein shake with frozen berries (150)
Breakfast - protein waffles with cherry/mulberry syrup, half grapefruit (400)
AM Snack - none (0)
Lunch - multi-grain tortilla, mustard, roast chicken, lettuce, apple (418)
PM Snack - potato chips (150)
Dinner - chicken & smoked sausage gumbo, rice, salad w/dressing (585)
Evening Snack - chocolate zucchini cake, fruit salad (174)
That's the end of the gumbo. I suspect that during my Christmas break I'll likely make another batch (although this time with regular flour instead of the soy flour).
I had a french fry today (and it was good). I snagged it from one of the guy's lunch. It was steaming hot, and nice and crispy. Seriously yummy. Stolen food doesn't have to be counted, right?
I never count food I've swiped off of someone else's plate, either. It keeps calorie counting very neat and simple. *L*
I have to admit to myself that (at the moment) I'm not willing to commit more effort/time to keeping the deficit as high.
I'm right there with ya. And mediocrity is hard to get excited about in ourselves. "Yay, me, for losing 0.2 pounds this week!" Yet even the smallest losses add up and get us there eventually as long as we don't have too many Aprils.
Okay, so did I mask the fact that the above was really a pep talk for myself?
I had more but meh. Brain and fingertips are not connecting.
I think that when I look at the charts I see more of where I need to go than where I've come from.
I wonder if the Challenge did that to you? You didn't want to post photos, and you were in the middle of "weight myself once a month," and then the Challenge came and you shifted midstream. You and I might not look gorgeous naked next year, but we'll look damn hot in our fancy new clothes!! How often are we naked with others these days, anyway?

I have to admit to myself that (at the moment) I'm not willing to commit more effort/time to keeping the deficit as high. So when I look at the recent trends (a pound a week is being generous) I can't help but think it will be around a year before I make it out of the obese category (and that's not thinking about getting out of the overweight one).
I know, the solution is to either do more, eat less, or not whine about it.
What about some alternative solutions?
I think besides your yummy food, and your boundless energy, one thing I've admired is your consistency. What if you became inconsistent? What if you chose to do a small deficit one month alternating with a large deficit the next month (or alternating weeks instead of months)? What if you did the same with exercise? That way, perhaps you could pump up your results, and still have some relief from the endless diet?
You've probably seen how I'm enjoying my carb cycling!
Today I took two walks, my steps are already 13152.. I thought about you everytime I looked at my GWF display and all these steps, remembering your summer walks.
Perhaps you can have it both.. Relief from diet and some strong-focused diet, with rest and good results.
I never count food I've swiped off of someone else's plate, either. It keeps calorie counting very neat and simple. *L*
Much simpler. I can joke about it because I don't really do it. I feel for women who are dieting with kids in the house. They will tend to pick off their kids plates, especially if they're making different food for them. This isn't something I understand, but then I've never had kids.

Of course since I hate to shop, I only make it to the mall once a year (if that). So, I figure not counting it won't kill my diet.
You know, I never eat the food samples at Costco. I suppose I could say that it's a diet thing, but it's not. When we first joined we would end up buying things that tasted way better in the store. (ie. when you're hungry it tastes good) I broke that rule last year when they were sampling flatbread. I actually think they were serving it with a nice 5-yr old aged cheddar (which was probably supposed to make the flatbread taste better) but I asked the woman for a piece on its own. She was a little surprised, but I actually wanted to taste the flatbread.

We all need pep talks from time to time.

At the moment I'll probably let my schedule guide me. I'll be happy if I keep in the lifting 4x a week and keep the food in check until the end of the semester. I've got 4 weeks off between semesters so I can probably ramp up the exercise as well. Today was actually a nice day (a little windy at times, but 15C/59C) and I kept thinking I should have a walk. I just have no time. I'm doing prep work for a test on Monday so I can tutor someone tomorrow. This is way more review than I would ever have done... however, that may be why I ended up with 100% on the first test.
- - - - -
Our Measurement Systems teacher is seriously going to make me go ballistic with his ever-changing marking system. Originally (ie. the first week) he gave out a marking scheme that claimed we got 70% for the lecture and 30% for the lab. I knew this was incorrect (we get separate marks for lectures and lab classes - that changed with our year's enrollment) and asked him about it nicely. He said 'no no, this one is still blended'. I knew he was wrong but dropped it.
Three weeks later he tells someone that they are indeed split. So now we have:
Lecture (2 tests, 2-3% attendance mark)
- no idea if each test is worth 50%, but let's go with that
Lab (6 lab reports)
- yep, that's it, each lab is now worth 17% of our grade.
After we wrote the LECTURE mid-term he tells one of the guys that he's decided that he should take some of the questions off the mid-term and count them towards the lab marks. He's going to count them as 'one lab' (again, assuming from what he said that he's going to do this for the final as well).
I'm actually okay with this part (kind of), since he really should have done quizzes or a lab final or something. However, there's no question that this will likely bring my lab mark down a little (so far our lab group, ie. mostly me, is averaging 47/50 for the three we've had marked). For a lot of the groups this might help them bring their marks up (as some groups are struggling at putting together a decent report).
We got our marks back on Friday from the mid-term. I got 83.33 (50/60) overall and 88.24 (15/17) on the lab portion. Here's the fun part - the 17 lab marks are included in the overall mark (which kind of makes sense). However, what this means is that if you did better on the lab portion than the rest you benefited from the weird marking scheme. If you did worse on the lab portion, your overall mark is also lower.
Even if that weirdness gets sorted out, it doesn't affect me more than 2% (ie. I'd be working with 35/43 (81.4%) & 15/17) but for people who did poorly on the lab section they're kind of getting dinged twice for their errors.
At this point I'm a little frustrated, but I can live with what's going on. Then I hear from one of the guys in my lab (whose group is also doing say ~90%) that he's decided not to do formal labs for the last two labs. He asked how he's going to mark them and he said 'oh probably an all or nothing kind of mark'. The guy from my lab says 'oh, so 100 or zero'.
The response - 'more like 80 or 0'.
Excuse me? So, we're going to go in, work our best and our best will guarantee that our marks go down. I mean, what the fuck does this guy think we (well me) worked so fucking hard on our lab reports for? Just for kicks?
This also means that the groups that are turning in crappy work up to this point will do the same work as us the next two weeks - and their grades will go up... and ours will go down?
Once I have my 4th lab report in my hand (and know our group average) I'm going to pull him aside and quietly confirm this to him. And hope that while I'm explaining it he'll get why it's a bad idea. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd rather not have to do two more formal reports... but not at the expense of lowering my grade.
Right now (assuming 47/50 for the outstanding):
(47x4) + (40x2)
----------------
6
So, showing up, working hard the next two weeks will actually drop my lab grade from 94% to 89%?
I know, it's not a huge deal, but it's annoying. And that's assuming that we weren't going to continue getting the 49/50 that we've managed for the last two labs (ie. our lowest mark was 44/50 on the first one).
I'm feeling very slug-like today. It took much longer than I expected to work through all of the math and that included getting up and moving around a bit. I really should have gone out and walked in the morning. I was awake as early as 6:30, but just kind of lay around for way too long. It's kind of a 'too early to get up' thing, but by 7 or 8 that excuse is just kind of gone.
I've either got a touch of a cold, or a sinus infection. I've basically had a blinding headache since Friday morning. The pills keep me functioning, but barely at times. My head is stuffed up and I have a slight cough (from the post nasal drip). No fever or stomach issues so it's definitely not a flu bug. However, it makes me want to do nothing, and that doesn't make me feel any better.
So, on that note I'm going to my bed and hoping that it passes, or is at least better tomorrow.
Breakfast - egg/egg whites, salsa, roll with jam, half grapefruit (285)
AM Snack - none (0)
Lunch - multi-grain tortillas, cheese, eye of round, salsa, apple (706)
PM Snack - potato chips (150)
Dinner - tourtierre shepherd's pie, salad w/dressing (516)
Evening Snack - chocolate zucchini cake, fruit salad (174)
I was definitely in the hungry/comfort food at lunch. It probably didn't help that I hadn't taken a morning snack so I basically just made what I wanted. I knew what we were having for dinner though so I knew it wasn't that big of a deal. The ingredients made a nice toasty quesadilla, but I really didn't need to use two tortillas. I could have fed the craving with one... but two was nice.
I'd be so livid at that whole class/grade crap deal that you got. Is there any way you can complain to the prof's dept.? It just comes off as so incredibly unfair.
Hope you feel better, and everyone's been getting some kind of bug. Mine hasn't even completely been shaken off yet. Eek!
I got my fingers crossed for you Anne that this bug thing is really nothing.
And boy am I pissed for you and the class with the screwed up marking system. I can imagine how frustrating that must be to you. Bastard.
I don't feel any worse, but I don't feel any better. The headache is the thing that's bugging me the most. It interferes with my concentration, so I'll have to watch that on my test Monday morning. It shouldn't be an issue as the last one I took 20 of the 90 mins to write. So I'll just watch myself and should be okay. It's actually good that it's a math test, no real memory work.

The grade thing sounds really frustrating. What a load of crap.
I do think that it's allergies. We haven't had a hard frost yet, so this is basically fall allergies on overdrive. On the positive front, I picked more cherry tomatoes this weekend. They're still ripening up a bit (the last little bit inside) but it's amazing to think that we're picking tomatoes in November. We've usually had a hard frost by now, and I've not even bothered to cover the plant. It's definitely got some light frost damage, but still pumping out little tomatoes.

I'm not going to freak out about the grading stuff until we have the lab on Tuesday. I'm guessing that he hasn't really thought about it, and will likely back down once I point out that for some of us this will actually lower our grade. The guy I tutor was over today and we were talking about how we're getting a little tired of them propping up the people who aren't able (or willing) to do the work.
I mean, look at my CAD grade last semester. By my count I got 47/50 on the Autocad portion. This was set before submitting the Solidworks stuff. Now, I know that I nailed the second half of the course. So, I should have ended up with somewhere between say 95-97. I got 100. This tells me that he bumped everyone up because his average grade was too low. I also got 100 in Problem Solving. I did not get 100% on the midterm, I got 43/45... and then he dropped the test to being out of 43. Again, this was done because of generally low grades overall.
I'm not sure that I agree with the bumping of grades. Although, if it's going to be done, obviously it should be applied evenly. It wouldn't be realistic to only bump up the people on the low end. It just seems to push people through who really shouldn't be there. I'm not talking about someone having one bad test, or one bad mark. It seems to be done way too often. Oh, and like our Calculus and Statics classes where we get 15% and 10% of our marks from assignments. As long as you check your answers against someone else's you can pretty much guarantee the full percentage, so it pushes up your grades as well.
It will be interesting to see how this goes on in later semesters. They can't keep doing this forever, can they?
ETA: Oh yeah, I came to log a workout. I'll have to do that after dinner though 'cause during all this I preheated the BBQ and just tossed the steak on.
It doesn't seem to matter if I workout or not, the headache still lingers. So as long as the congestion doesn't get worse I plan to push on with the workouts this week. Might as well.
Are you having awesome weather the past few days? It has been in the 60s and sunny here. It's disorienting because it should be cold as hell by now. I'll take it!
Oh, and just a reminder that winter is around the corner so make sure you take you Vitamin D and fish oil so you don't get down in the dumps. I've got my SAD lamp fired up and ready to go!
Hope you are feeling better. Glad its not something more serious...but the annoying head cold stuff is just as bad sometimes.
Hope you get that class thing figured out. I am hoping its like you said - he just doesn't realize what it will mean. It sucks when grading is influenced by things other then hard work and performance. I would probably have been more stabby in school if I actually knew what other people who slacked off got for grades. The fact that some of them graduated (and are probably getting paid more then me!) with the work they did still irks me. Such is life.
re: grading
I can remember in either microbio or cell bio that I'd get 110% on some of the exams because she'd have to toss my grade out and then establish the curve for the rest of the class - and then put my grade back based on that curve.
I can also remember in my physics lab course one quarter that all the lab sections (like 6 or 8 maybe even 10 sections) got lumped together for a grade curve even though our labs were graded by the individual TAs and the quizzes (10 questions - so miss 1 and get 90%) were written and graded by the individual TAs. So we could run along getting between 90-96% on labs & quizzes in our section and we got bumped down to a B grade overall because some other sections with an easy writer/grader TA were getting 98% on different criteria and different exams (only top 10% get an A even if the next 10% down also scored over 90%).

Yep, we're having gorgeous weather. It was just over 18C (~65F) when I got home today. I had a quick lunch and then went for a walk before I lifted in the afternoon. It was windy enough that I took a light windbreaker with me, but it was a nice walk. I usually do take Vitamin D and fish oil, is it worth increasing them? I like the idea of a SAD light, but financially not going to happen this year.

Yeah, I know that some of the young guys (who don't do nearly as well as I do) might be seen as better prospects by potential employers. I'm trying to block that possibility from my mind.

He's generally pretty reasonable (just ditsy) but I'm hoping that if I explain why some of us think that it's a bad idea that he'll at least tell us that he won't use the grades to lower anyone's overall number.

I hated the electricity quizzes from last semester. He'd basically give you a single question at it would be worth 10 marks. Most of the time I did well, getting 10/10, but on a few I'd end up with 5/10 and 7 or 8 out of 10. In the end he dropped two quizzes so it wasn't a big deal. However, a lot of people had serious issues with the marking scheme.
The class I exempted out of (Quality) had their mid-term a week or so ago. The average mark was 72, and 7 people got 100%. He's giving them 30% of their grade from hand-in assignments that he marks with a checkmark. So that's 100% for handing pretty much anything in, and zero if you don't. Of course he'd done two assignments before he finally told people that they were worth 30% (most of our other classes, with the exception of CAD, assignments are worth perhaps 10 or 15%). I'm kind of glad that I exempted out as I'd have been ticked if he didn't give me 100%. However, I can see that potentially it would have brought my average up for the semester.
Oh, and the Calculus test this morning was fun. I don't think it will be a big deal, but one of the questions was.... well, wrong. The derivative worked out to negative root once you tried to plug in the value you were supposed to evaluate it at. I figured it was something we were supposed to think about, so I squared both sides (to get rid of the root), used implicit differentiation and solved it. It worked, and I got an answer. On the way out I asked her about it and she looked puzzled. I pointed out the negative root, and she said 'you must have worked it out incorrectly'. I knew that I hadn't, but I really didn't want to argue about it. I told her we could talk about it after, but the original question did not resolve the way she told me.
I handed in the test and left. One of the guys told me that less than 5 minutes after I left the room she told people to change the negative sign to a positive sign on the question. So obviously she tried to do the question and couldn't get an answer either. From what I know of her she's pretty reasonable, but we'll see how it goes. However, this is another pet peeve I have. For the assignments / homework they've put the answers in the school produced workbook. Sadly, a fair number of them are wrong. Some/most are minor errors like +/- signs and such but it's really annoying.
I do kind of think that if you're getting a test typed (or doing it yourself) that maybe you should take a few minutes and work out the answers to make sure that they are possible to do. The longer I'm in the education system the less I think they know what they're doing.
The best news today (sarcasm here) is that the union contract is up next semester and they don't seem to be happy with the 12% raise they've been offered since it's only for two years. They want a four year contract. So it's possible that our semester could be interrupted by a strike. This is seriously my bad luck as the first time I went to this college the teachers went out on strike. It didn't affect me personally (ie. I passed everything) but lots of people failed courses because of the lost time.
You could up your fish oil and D, depending on how much you're taking now. I take 2000-3000IU of D3 a day because I have issues with low D - probably because I live in a place where we get no sunshine half the year.

I currently have volunteer tomatoes growing in my garden. It's so strange-- guess it's warmer than usual here, too. Only about half of the fall stuff is coming up, but the summer's tomatoes have decided it's time for a resurgence.
All this grading stuff makes me remember why I swore I wouldn't go back to school again... and why I hated calculus!
Hope there isn't another strike... that would suck...
We talked to him about it today and he's agreed to 90% for the last two labs. This will benefit those that turned in crappy work up to this point and not bring our marks down... much. I worked it out and our group will probably suffer by 1%, which I can live with. Especially considering that we don't have to do the formal reports.
The strike would definitely suck. Especially if if affects our co-op terms for the summer. Time to maybe contact my old company and remind them that I might be interested in a co-op if they're going to have any. I'd prefer a first co-op in a different industry (instead of automotive) but if they're striking during the hiring period at the college that's going to screw a lot of people up.

Ya think?
It wasn't a bad day here today. I'm dropping my mother off for an MRI tonight at the hospital and I might walk along the lakeshore for a bit. It depends on how warm it is... and how well lit it is. Worst case scenario I'll walk around the downtown area for a bit.
I'm only taking about 1000 IU of D3 at the moment. It might not be a bad idea to increase it for the winter. Even when we have sun in the winter it's not like we go outside much to enjoy it.

We just had the weirdest summer here. I swear the last few days has been nicer than 95% of the fall weather so far. It's only to last through the weekend though and then back to seasonal weather.
I did manage 45 mins of walking before I decided to call it a night. The weather was actually pretty good, but I decided I don't like walking in the dark so much. The lakefront is fairly well lit, but it doesn't have the energy that it has during the day. Passed a few people walking dogs, but really very few. The downtown area has a fair amount of traffic, but not many people out on foot during the evening.
Oh well, I was really just killing time until my mother was ready for her ride home. So we got home just before 8pm, had pizza for dinner, and now I'm off to get some sleep. I've got a little homework tomorrow and I might actually try and write my Active Citizenship assignment (not due until next Thursday, but I thought I'd actually look at it early).
I was moving very slowly this morning and didn't really want breakfast (I know, very bad). It was about 10:30 before I wanted anything so I had my grapefruit which I'd brought with me and grabbed a bagel & PB from the cafeteria. Just using generic Fitday numbers for them, so it might be off a bit.
I didn't eat my breakfast until almost 11 yesterday! I just wasn't hungry.
That calc test question made me frustrated. I had to work really hard in math and I always assumed the questions were at least workable. You would think it would be safe to assume. So annoying that she didn't work it out beforehand!
Even when we have sun in the winter it's not like we go outside much to enjoy it.
I hear ya on that one. Not only do I not get to go outside to enjoy it, but it rises after I'm at work and sets before I'm done with work. I only get to see the sun from behind my office window. If it would only snow, I would feel much better.

x2. We hit record highs 3 days this past week. I can't believe it. We had virtually no summer and now that we should have snow, it's in the 60s and 70s. Last year at this time, we had already had 2 blizzards and the snow was past my living room windows.
We better have snow soon. I live in a snowy climate for a reason.

Well, I'm rarely stumped by Calculus questions (at least the stuff we're doing now). The major issue was that you were supposed to find the intantaneous slope at say (4,2). That point she gave didn't satisfy the original (or the changed) equation. It was just a bad example overall. I spoke to one of the other guys, who is also quite good on the subject, and he did what I did (squared both sides) but thinks that he messed it up when she told the room to change the sign. I suspect she'll be more fair to me as I did try and tell her the question was wrong. Strangely I'm not overly concerned about it. I think I did the rest of the test well, and answered the bonus question as well. She strikes me as an extremely fair person, I suppose I'll find out on Friday.

You can have all of our snow for this winter, deal?
I spent one winter commuting that way. I'd leave home in the dark and get home after dark. I didn't even sit beside a window, which sucked. I had a pretty long drive and I found myself spending more and more time checking for snow in the afternoon. I used to judge the drive home by how many vehicles I saw in the ditch. Part of the drive was on a busy highway with tons of open spots (ie. icy) and the other part was on a fairly poorly cambered highway with also lots of fields. I left that job before the second winter set in.

My mother says that about Scotland (where she grew up). That it was a damp, bitter cold with little snow. Sometimes after it snows here you'll get lovely warmish days. Of course, sometimes you get bitter cold days and the ice cap on top of the snow will scrape skin when you go through it. I'm hoping for a either a relatively warm winter, or at least not a ton of snow.
It's been one of those weird days where I'm not really sure what I did, but the day is over. I did some homework, some tutoring, some lifting and cut up a couple of pork roasts that were on a very good sale price. It just seemed like the day was over very quickly. I put some laundry in the washing machine but I'm not so sure I'm going to stay up to dry it. It can wait until the morning as I've got a late start.
Power Training - Strength - Push-Pull Week 2(d)
What if you chose to do a small deficit one month alternating with a large deficit the next month (or alternating weeks instead of months)? What if you did the same with exercise? That way, perhaps you could pump up your results, and still have some relief from the endless diet?
Bastard.
