Dell Warranty just called me. I think I was both concise and precise in my distaste.
Also, they could stand to read all the way through their records before trying to upsell me on an extended warranty.
Unrelated to that I have a hell of a migraine. I think the rest of today's work is happening from home.
Grr.
I couldn't resist clicking on GC's link - my God that's cute! and I'm not a big fan of HK. Whoever gets it will probably end up being mobbed by little (and not-so-little) girls wherever they go.
[link] Fitday helps with the food tracking quite a lot.
Also, have you read Will in the World? Will of the World? The Stephen Greenblatt book? It's amazing. Very thought provoking.
Not yet - keep meaning to, but the To Be Read pile is already hi-yuge. And AWESOME on you sharing your paper. Can't wait to read it!
Fitday never really worked for me -- according to their calculations, I should have been losing almost a pound a day the whole time I was tracking my eating habits, which...no. NSM. Their estimates of caloric intake were pretty accurate, but their defaults for caloric expenditures were way out of whack.
I use Fitday when I am trying to really watch my blood sugar numbers. What would be more useful for me is if I could get into the habit of useing it 3 or 4 days a week- but I find it too hard to use on the weekends , when we eat out more. But I need to keep better track of things on the weekend. I keep makeing attempts to make my own food journal - something that works for my needs
Will in the World is awesome. Greenblatt's take on Shakespeare is very much from a historicist perspective. And since the religious conflicts were so huge in England during this period, it's cool to read how what we see as the universality might spring from the desire to keep hidden politically sensitive ideas.
Fitday is interesting but I'm not dedicated enough for that. I used to keep a paper journal, but I don't even do that anymore. I should give Fitday a try, mebbe.
I have a migraine too, ita, and I am frantically willing it to go, as I have a dentist's appointment at 3:00 which is going to involve the drilling and the novocaine and the glayvin. I'd cancel, but I can't get another appointment before we go on vacation, and I need to get this tooth fixed STAT.
but their defaults for caloric expenditures were way out of whack.
I've heard this from runners-- they just default to "sleeping" to keep track of their running activity with some accuracy.
If anyone is interested weight watchers is about $17/month for their online program.
yeh, fitday seemed to think I shold be loseing weight , too. I used it more to spot patterns. - like if I don't eat much before 6 , I don't seem to stop eating in the evening. and drinking anything alcoholic increases my calorie cunsumption in a big way. and on the weekends I eat more. And I eat a lot of cheese.
