Colors: January 31 2025

Today was an overall good day. I laid out my daily goals in a thread on INLEO this morning. I'm happy to report that I actually completed all of them goals. I built on yesterday's success by getting above 7000 steps. I didn't snack. I completed all of the tasks I had to complete at work and I did a post surgery follow up with my doctor.

I'll admit that the hardest of those goals was the no snacking. I like to eat for entertainment, and there were a few times that I had to talk myself back from the snack. I think that is where I'll make the most difference as I continue on my weightloss goal. While I was a little over my calorie limit due to a big dinner tonight, it would have been so much worse if I had succumbed to my urges to snack. It's probably the difference between being at a caloric surplus vs a deficit.

Overall I had pretty good stats today. I ended the day with 7745 steps (almost 8k). I also had 20 flights of stairs. I had to focus to do that. I didn't have time to go for a walk so I climbed the stairs instead. That also resulted for part of my 26 active zone minutes.

The only blemish here is the food calories. I had a big dinner from Olive Garden (a restaurant chain in the US), and while it could have been worse, it wasn't the best thing for my diet. In the past, a dinner for me at Olive Garden could easily surpass 3000 calories by itself. This time I kept it to just 1308 calories. The end result is that even though I was over my limit, I was still at a deficit. So I consider that a win.

Continuing with the theme: Each night I post the song that was playing as I ended the workout and use that as the title for the post for that day. Today that song was Colors by Ice-T. I've always loved this song about gangs in Los Angeles in the late 80s. The lyrics are hard and combative and the song has always pumped me up a little bit. I often thing of the song in terms of @splinterlands. If I was talented with video and song recording, I'd do a video with clips and of splinterlands battles in time with the song. For example, when he says:

Red or blue, cuz or blood
It just don't matter
Suckers dive for your life
When my shotgun scatters

I'd show clips from a blast match between fire and water splinters. There's also:

Give me a break
What world do you live in
Death is my set
Guess my religion

I'd show clips of Praetoria to show the world we live in and of course Death splinter images. It would be fun.

Anyway, that's it for today. Tomorrow, I'm going to try for 7k again and to stay under my calorie limit. See y'all later.
