Weight Loss

As of last Saturday I have lost just over 10 pounds .  I missed my goal of losing 15 pounds by March 3rd but I am happy about the progress I have made.  I am averaging 1 pound per week, its a little slower then I planned on but I have not been eating as healthy as I should be.  I do continue to exercise 4 to 6 times a week, another 10 pounds and I will be good.

Weight Loss - The Beginning

I have officially set a goal to have lost 15 lbs by March 3rd.

No Gaming

I haven't played a game since last week.  I have been working on re-writing the code for my netflix tracking site.  I shut it down 8 months ago because it became to much work to maintain both the rss and API calls at the same time.  I have ditched the rss and gone 100% with the API which called for major changes in the database and code to be more efficient and scale better.  The new site will be much more accurate and have more data then ever thought possible previously.  www.stalkflicks.com

Moving Back

I am so undecided on which blog to use. I currently have a blogger account, a tumblr account, and this wordpress one that I host. Blogger just seems out of date, no cool themes and I don't want to spend the time to make one up for it. Tumblr is cool, it does have downtime quite a bit that I don't like to deal with but it seems they are getting better Some of their posting options don't work the way I would like. Then this wordpress blog. It is wordpress so it works very well. Continues to be updated. Has the most history (my posts). I think I will move back here for a while. My main concern was posting (hosting) images long term but I will just start to put everything on amazons S3, its really cheap and since I don't have any traffic its not really an issue. I am going to try and move a few recent posts over here so wish me luck. I am also going to try and post almost daily if not every few days. Weather it be about the kids, games I am playing, movies I have watched.

Long Week

I am so glad this week is over.  I was on call this week for work.  I usually try to get rid of it and it was easy the last few times because there was those at work that "wanted" to take it, so i let them.  This week I ended up taking it and it wasn't any more busy then normal but it made for a few late nights.  Then I woke up Sunday morning with a sore throat and a head ache all day.  I am going to blame it on getting less then normal amounts of sleep all week.

Treasure Hunt

Last Saturday Makynzie and I along with Dave and his girls went Geo-Caching for the first time.  Dave was in charge of getting the list of caches to find and I was in charge of documenting the day.  After lunch we headed over to the park and started in on the first object.  This first was was classified as a micro-cache so it was very small and very difficult to fine.  Needles to say we didn't find it.  The second one was a large cache and after about 20 mins of looking we found it.  In it were some toys, a book and a log to write down your name and the date you found it.  It was interesting to see that someone had already found it that same day.

The Tree

Every few years the electrical company comes through and trims the tree around the power lines. They showed up last week and went to town on the tree in our front yard. You can now see right through it. Its funny though, one of the branches has grown around one of the wires so they never touch that one limb.

Failed

It has been about a month and a half since I started my "post daily for 30 days" challenge and well lets see... I posted 4 times.  I failed... on to the next one.

This time around I am going to do Video.  Plan is to do 8 videos in the next month (2 per week).  Makynzie is starting school next week and there are a couple other events coming up so this should be doable.

Rabbit Cage

Last weekend I was busy building a new cage for the rabbit.  It took about 15 hours from start to finish.  I would have done a few things different now that its all done but not to bad for my first time.  I don't have any building steps or plans for it... kinda put the design together as I went along.

Normal

It was a pretty normal day yesterday, Makynzie had soccer, got home about 7 ish and mowed the front and back yard with the push mower which sucked big time.  I couldn't use the tractor because I forgot I needed to get oil over the weekend... got done and out of the shower around 9 then played an hour of xbox.

Information Overload

Once again it has been a while since I have posted on here, which I hate.  The current plan is to go on an information overload per say.  I plan to either write a post, send a tweet or post a video at least once a day for the next 30 days.  Not that anyone even reads this (i doubt anyone does but honestly have no clue) but I am gong to do this more for documenting my life/family.  Let the fun begin.

Test

This is a test post

New Hair - New Shoes

Last weekend Brooke and I went shopping for some jeans and a new pair of shoes.  My current (only) pair are way past needing replaced.  We found a couple pair of jeans that I liked but once we got to shoes this was another story.  We tried both Finish Line and Footlocker but neither and a style that I liked in a size that fit.  I tried both size 13 and 14 but every shoe i tried it was just too tight on the sides.  So we went home to go online and found this pair in a 13 x-wide.  I received them yesterday and the are PERFECT.  Should have been buying x-wide shoes for a long time now, so much more comfortable.

Yesterday I also cut my hair.  It has been about a month since my last hair cut and it was very long for me to say the least.  I figured I would have some fun first.  Makynzie said that she liked and and I should leave it, Brooke did not like it.  I never planned to keep it like this, only reason was for the photo op.
