The Chairman's Fitness Challenge Blog

Tuesday tends to be a day off from working out for me.  I've convinced my wife to take a pilates class on Tuesdays, so I'm on munchkin duty until 8pm and then usually on bedtime story duty after that, which can stretch as late as 9:30pm before things settle down.  It's not a problem at all - although there are nights like tonight where I could really use an opportunity to blow off some steam and energy at the gym.  But even without working out, there's still time to obsess about food.

I am on a gradual campaign to eliminate all the artificial and excessively-processed foods from our household.  OK, maybe not all of them, but the vast majority.  As a result, my collection of crazy kitchen equipment is growing - I now have a waffle iron (better to make fresh than buy frozen - oatmeal protein waffles anyone?), a rice cooker (for hassle-free brown rice) and a huge collection of free-range chicken carcasses, lovingly collected over the past few months, waiting to be made into stock.  I made a batch of whole-wheat pitas last weekend.  You can bet that I will be sneaking a pasta machine in soon as well.  And with all that, on Tuna Tuesday, I ended up buying a tuna sandwich on whole wheat at the company cafeteria.  Too lazy to even make my own sandwich.  Sheesh.
