I’ve been eating much, much better this week than, well, just about any week the past six months or so. Must be why I’m able to get by (and feel good) on six hours of sleep.
Truth is, I’m so busy right now that I need to figure out more life efficiencies and WRITE them down. Sounds stupid, but take food. There are some nights I need to eat out. Don’t have time to cook. Kitchen stuffs are dirty. No time.
However, I’ve mandated to myself healthful eating with NO exceptions except once every couple of weekends. I drove from work the other night and moseyed up Britton to May, May down to I-44 — and I saw nothing that wouldn’t have added about 900 calories to my waistline.
Drove home to Norman and saw Wendy’s. Duh. I can totally have chili.
I’m building a list of quick eat-out options. So that I don’t have to think.
Weekend notes: Looking forward to the World Cup. USA vs. England at 1:30 p.m. Saturday. Also. Sooners face Virginia for a spot in the College World Series. It’s been 15 years since Oklahoma advanced that far. It’s time for a return to Omaha.
Also, I’m a competitor in a song competition being hosted by a site called Spintown. It is in four parts. A theme gets announced on Saturday, and then I have NINE days to write it, produce it, record it and turn it in. Judges judge it, not the public.
It’s pretty informal, I suspect. However, it’s a great exercise.
Now for a tune I’m chillin’ with tonight, a little Brian McKnight … Aww, yeah.
The Teddy bears are a bit weird. I didn’t make the video. Just diggin’ the tune and the KEY CHANGES. Sucker for a good key change.

Truth be told, I’ll likely have 3-4 more days off at least this summer before football season kicks off. The reason that football season is relevant is because I work in the media, and we cover a bit o’ sports.
Last week was about resting and rejuvenating, of course. However, I had a big to-do list. Here’s what I got done:
1. Bought a new TV. I was without one. In my line of work, I need a TV.
2. Bought a toaster oven. Reason why forthcoming.
3. Organized the house. (Thanks, Jen)
4. Got my home theater re-established. (Thanks, Frankenstein.)
5. Caught up on all Web correspondence.
6. Decluttered big time.
7. Watched some baseball.
8. Re-established a pretty serious workout routine.
9. Put together a list of food staples from which to establish my diet for the next three months. Notice I didn’t say A diet. I said MY diet. I read, researched, browsed, etc., and came up with a list of food staples that covers the foundation of macro-nutrients, which I *think* are comprised of carbs, fats and proteins.
Anyway, I’ll show off that list later. It’s a good list. Some of these foods required baking, ergo, the toaster oven.
10. Re-established ryanwelton.com. If you’re a member of the Tumblr community or are from Oklahoma, please follow!
