I walked the mile-and-a-half back, via the farmers market, where I picked up some eggplant from the Amish farmer’s stand.

When I got home from work, Gretchen was ready with chips and salsa — using the first of our fresh salsa — and a bottle of Saranac Pale Ale.

Dinner was grilled swordfish, fried corn and peppers, and another bottle of Saranac Pale Ale.

Gretchen and I took an early morning 2½ mile walk this morning. When we got back, I had a bowl of cold cereal with banana slices, a glass of orange juice, and two cups of coffee. I weighed 155 pounds.

I have been spoiled by Summer at the gym. Now that the students are back, there was a 20 minute wait to get into the fitness center. I am hoping that it was just the first Wednesday class day and everybody expected the center to be available. Hopefully some (most) of them will make adjustments and go to other centers, or at other times, or both. If they do not, then I will have to reevaluate my choices.

I used the Stairmaster rather than the treadmill to warm-up because there was a waiting list for the treadmills. There was still a waiting list when I got to wanting a cool-down, but I did not think the Stairmaster was appropriate for a cool-down, so I skipped the cool-down instead. I do not think that will be a good idea for my lower body workout Friday, so I will have to think of something else.

It was obvious to me that I had lost a little ground after skipping my last two workouts — they being during the move-in days for the students during which campus is a mad house and it is very nearly impossible to drive across campus. I do not think I will be considering any increases for a while.

I would like to thank Nia, over at Nia’s Box for adding me to her list of Food Blogs.

Breakfast was a bowl of pompanoosic with brown sugar and milk, a glass of orange juice, and two cups of coffee.

I cannot pass up free food. Somebody brought in donuts, so I had a coconut glazed cake donut along with another cup of coffee at the office.

I walked the three mile round trip to Picallili’s and had a salad for lunch.

I had a meeting in Rider building on the other side of campus this afternoon, so I got another four mile walk in.

Dinner was lo mein, two ears of sweet corn, and two bottles of Saranac Pale Ale.

Earlier, I posted a picture of our corn with the freakish purple silk. Well, we picked some of it the other day.

Well, this is what it looks like.

It tastes like cardboard… tough cardboard.
