getting in-fat

August 5th, 2008 Eric No comments

Yes, it is a spelling mistake, it’s supposed to be un-fat (My BMI is 28.7), but I messed it up when I was doing a Facebook status update and I thought it was mildly entertaining.

Regardless, having realized there is too much going on in my mid section, a little bit too much of the handles for lovin’, and skipping the tmi about other locations has promted me to begin anew in the weight loss game.  This time I have a few new strategies:

  1. Noel’s 100 push-ups in 6 weeks “Challenge”
  2. “Vague” Calorie counting (I’ve tried this before, but I’m gonna stick to it and not be super anal)
  3. HIIT training 3 days a week (more details…)
  4. Light jogging/walking 2 days a week

I’m not sure what my end goal should be (although it seems like 140-150 would be good for my height), and I’ve set a short term goal of 6 lbs in 4 weeks.

mmmmm….tasty

I use del.icio.us. I also use alot of different computers and like to have my bookmarks in one spot (right now I’m posting from Kristie’s laptop).

It always bothers me how difficult it is to post a page to del.icio.us when you don’t have the firefox/ie plugin installed. But when I’m at a bunch of computers, and sometimes they’re public ones, I can’t go installing the plugin where ever I want. So, I made a nice little bookmark that will makes posting easier when you’re on the go. First you have to login to your account. Then drag this link {del.icio.us this} to your bookmarks. Change the word USER to your username, and then voila! Just click the bookmark when you’re on a page you want to bookmark in del.icio.us, and you’re in mobile del.icio.us heaven.

I know, I haven’t posted in a while and this is a lame post to start back up with. Oh freaking well.

UPDATE:

New betterer code for deliciousing:

{del.icio.us this}

one crazy week

June 9th, 2008 Eric 1 comment

I thought a few weeks ago that this upcoming week was going to be crazy.  Yesterday, all day, we moved stuff from the old Riverview auditorium to the new one.  My list grew substantially.

I have a bazillion things to do at Riv, my kitchen is still in my living room, and we’re like out of groceries.

It might not be so bad.  Then again, it might.

looking forward to

June 7th, 2008 Eric 1 comment

It’s time for a good list (feel free to do your own, it feels good), so here are some things I’m looking forward to (and other sentences ending in prepositions):

  • The new building being completed — because I’ve been spending a lot of time there and it’s gonna be sweet
  • The new speakers coming in for the new auditorium — because I’ve done sound for too long with not so good speakers in a room with horrible accoustics
  • My kitchen being finished — because it’s been in process since December, and currently my stove is in the living room
  • Going to NC in July — because Kristie’s parents are fantastic, and I need to relax

Hmmmm…seems like I had more when I was thinking about this post.  Maybe I’ll add some later.  Probably not, though.

too much, and not enough

June 5th, 2008 Eric No comments

It has been 4 weeks and 6 days since my semester ended.  I have 11 weeks and 4 days until my next semester starts.

Since my last semester ended I have:

  • Spent 2.5+ weeks working on the tech install in the new Riv auditorium
  • Spent 1 week finishing up work projects
  • Visited my sister in Chicago for 3 days
  • Run sound for 3 weddings
  • Worked on finishing my kitchen for 2 days (still in progress)

I feel like I’ve been using my time pretty well, and I have been getting a lot of things done that I had put off during the semester.  I’m getting really excited about the new auditorium being finished.  It will be really nice to finally have all that work done and be able to enjoy the new space (and new technology).

I have a bunch of pictures that I want to share, but Kristie has the camera.  I guess you’ll have to wait.

a surprise

May 14th, 2008 Eric No comments

Brought my sister Teresa home on Mother’s Day as a sort of present. Only my youngest sister Kathryn knew. Good job for her on keeping the secret.

This week I’ve been (and will be) working on some tech stuff in the new Riverview auditorium. Hopefully Nato will post some pictures soon of all the junk we’ve been doing…

More betterer updates, and maybe some subjective thoughts, coming soon.

a lie

May 8th, 2008 Eric No comments

I lied.  It’s been more than three weeks since I last posted.  Maybe I shouldn’t make promises I can’t keep.

three weeks later

April 14th, 2008 Eric No comments

I should be banned from blogging having passed the three week mark since my last post.  I suppose my blog updates reflect the amount of free time that I have: close to none.

This week is the one where it all comes down.  This week is going to be more difficult that finals week.  I have 4 exams to take, 2 homework assignments to complete, and 1 project due.  When it is done, I can have a short sigh of relief before finals.

I don’t know when I can post more, but I will say that it will be in less than three weeks.

not sure

March 21st, 2008 Eric No comments

I’m not sure if I’ve just run out of interesting things to blog about (which implies that nothing interesting is happening to me), or if I just can’t decide what to blog about.

It’s probably the former.
