<p>I know some were wondering why I suddenly disappeared from the forum. I’m back! I have been dealing with some health issues (not caused by exercise) that totally derailed my Boston training. I’m doing much, much better now and will be gradually getting back to running. I missed you all!</p>
<p>dstark, awesome walk!</p>
<p>Glad to have you back BB.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Depends on the real estate market! 
If someone buys the house, I’m moving. If they don’t, I’m not. I don’t see much percentage in trying to predict this market. The guy today was here for over an hour and half. There have been several spending a lot of time and some be-backs.</p>
<p>Glad to hear that you are on the mend, BB!</p>
<p>Glad to have you back, BB. You were missed!</p>
<p>idad, if someone buys the house, then what? Stay local and downsize, or move far far away??</p>
Today’s numbers:
Higher in carbs than I would have liked, but I only have myself to blame. Made prosciutto-wrapped, goat cheese-stuffed dates for others, then had to sample for quality control purposes. Super delicious, but the dates are pure sugar, of course.
Cals:1726
Fat:94 g
Carbs:104 g
Fiber:16 g
Protein:143 g
Sugars:16 g
<p>Idad said that anything under 50g of sugar is low sugar.</p>
<p>One apple alone will hit you with 15g. Imagine an apple and a banana.</p>
<p>At least we know that you didn’t have a soda.</p>
<p>BunsenBurner thanks…I am glad to read that you are recovering.</p>
<p>Interesteddad…people don’t usually look at a house for an hour and a half unless they are seriously interested. Bebacks are good too. I guess a workout room will be important if you move. Good luck…</p>
<p>How are naval oranges? Good…bad…indifferent?</p>
<p>I have to substitute my chocolate cravings with something. :)</p>
<p>I see 14g of sugar…bad?</p>

<p>I might eat 3 a day…</p>

<p>You might try getting an account at a foodtracker website. That way you could just type in the food and get the nutritional content making it easy to compare foods or establish a calorie/nutrition budget and track it. It’s a great tool if you’re data-driven.</p>
<p>Local. Probably rent something. </p>
<p>My wife and I are separating. She bought a 600 square foot condo in Boston, but I have no interest in buying property. I don’t see the upside in the near term. So, we are selling the house and going our separate ways.</p>
<p>BCEagle91… You know I am data driven… :)</p>
<p>Interesteddad…wow…I hope things are ok with you…</p>
<p>dstark:</p>
<p>Fruit is OK if you don’t go crazy. Figure an apple or an orange or 6 ounces of strawberries is 80 to 100 calories and 15 grams of sugar, but there’s a good bit of fiber that tends to slow the digestion of the sugar. </p>
<p>All things considered, probably the best option for a sweet tooth. I eat a couple apples a day as my snack, although I’d like to keep it to one a day.</p>
<p>If you want to go hard core, I used to snack on queen olives and dill pickles and celery.</p>
<p>Sorry to hear that, idad.</p>
<p>Regarding fruit: I don’t think one can go overboard with fruit. One can only eat so much fruit before – it’s too much fruit. I try to eat two fruits a day, and after a few years of doing that, those make up my snacks. And they are satisfying.</p>
<p>Thanks interesteddad.</p>
<p>Yeah…VeryHappy…I do like fruit too.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Sorry to hear that.</p>
<p>Thanks, VH. This has all been in the works for over a year as we’ve gotten the house ready to put on the market, cleared out a lot of stuff, etc. etc. As those of you who have moved know full well, there’s a lot of preparation before you can even think about moving when you’ve been in a house for 20+ years. We filled up the largest size dumpster (30 yards).</p>
<p>Yeah…moving is a pain…</p>
