"Rest day"

As part of my first "rest week". Today was just stretches, strength training, and bike rides that were part of getting around.  I'm still over 3,000 calories today already. Tomorrow is a swim day; get up, stretch, strength training, bike to the beach, swim, bike home, shower, eat, bike to work, work, bike home, sleep, then bike to work for midnight shift. Bike home at 8 AM, then find the time for sleep, stretches, strength training, and a run before going in for another midnight.

I'm particularly looking forward to the eating. Eggs, beans, mushrooms, onion, and hash browns. I've been looking up recipes for various vegan/vegetarian sausage recipes. Man; what a disappointment. Does anyone really expect people to be hunting down vital wheat gluten and nutritional yeast? If people are going to make bean-based sausages work, they need to be made of common ingredients. And sausages are perhaps the best omnivore food to shift over to vegan; the texture is variable, and the flavor is largely fat and seasonings.
