A Great Day

Well, I finally just sat down for the evening, about 14 hours after I first got up today. I haven't sat down since I got up, haha. My feet hurt.

I ended up picking 50lbs of Strawberries, I wasn't really expecting to pick that many, but I overestimated. So I spent all day (from about 10a to 8p) picking, cleaning and "putting up" the strawberries. I counted 8 hours of low intensity activity, even though it was more around 12 hours of constant activity. I wasn't initially going to count the strawberries I snacked on while working, but in the end I just decided to count everything, I feel better than way. I get anxious about not counting. I counted 5 points for strawberries (the amount for 2lbs), although I'm sure I didn't quite eat that many.

Here's the menu for the day:
