Commute Log: Because Driving is Fun!

Just trying to keep track of my morning commute. Mainly to see how many hours I spend in my car and to observe daily traffic patterns. In the evenings, I stop and run errands on my way home from work on most days so tracking that is unnecessary.

January is an odd month because of the beginning holidays and colleges are still off for most of it.

Also, I am using Google Docs because I really have not used it to its full potential yet. You should be able to refresh this post each day to see the updates in the spreadsheet.

Delicious Tip: One Simple Way to Eat Healthier

Olive Oil. Really. It’s as simple as that. Just use Olive Oil in cooking instead of butter/margarine/cooking sprays.

Easy Examples:

• Pasta: Instead of a buttery alfredo sauce, make a sauce out of olive oil, sauteed minced garlic and basil.

• Grilled Cheese: Instead of buttering the bread, throw some olive oil in the pan then cook as normal.

• Potatoes: Coat potatoes (baked or cut into wedges) with olive oil, then season and bake.

In general, avoid all cooking sprays as their nutrition information is extremely misleading (most of them have a serving size of 1/3rd second of a spray!).
