I’m not in horrible shape, but my body is slowly slipping into a looser form as I work at a desk all day and drive everywhere I have to go. So, Lauren and I are pretending to learn tennis, and I am teaching myself about calories.

The first day, I realized I consumed 720 calories, at once, from orange juice.

Now I have learned how bad chips are for you. One of those 1.5 oz bags has like 200 calories in it! What’s up with that!

Conversely, “smart dogs”–tofu hot dogs–only have 35 calories per dog. They are by far the least bad for you, of any processed food I have found so far.

Don’t worry–I am still eating normally–but I am trying to drink water instead of soy milk or Pepsi or OJ, and I pay more attention to snacks.

Will Emigh just schooled me about “Alternate Reality Games” like ilovebees.com. Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) are a way to make people involved in a storyline using codes, mixed media (e.g. payphone calls, email, web, postcards), and puzzles. You, singly or collaboratively–depending on the ARG, learn the plot as you unlock new clues and get more hints from the game.

Will is working on an ARG for his master’s degree, but I’m pretty sure I would be breaking some ARG rule if I posted a link.

ilovebees.com was built to help hype Halo 2.
