I hate spam

Posted on 8/26/2005 08:08:00 AMby with No comments
Yeah, so immediately after my most recent post I got 3 different spam comments. Its bad enough that i have to have them in my e-mail, I certainly don't want it in my blog. I certainly will make a VERY large point to NEVER buy ANYTHING from ANY place that advertises in such a way.

So, because of that, I have turned on "word verification" on commenting to the blog (not that it'll affect that many people since people rarely comment, if anyone even reads all of this). What this means to you is that you will now have to identify a "captcha" which is essentially a graphic that has text that has been altered in some way to make it difficult for character recognition systems to read it but is still understandable by humans. The point is that this will prevent automated comment spam since all of that is usually automated. We shall see if this fixes my issues.

Keep on runnin'

Well I hit 3 miles today, and I feel great! My goal for this week is 2.5 miles but if I can hit 3 miles each day I'll be very happy.

I'm a bit frustrated that for two weeks in a row I've still not lost any more weight, but I think its likely that I'm gaining muscle mass (which is denser than fat) at the same rate as losing fat. Hopefully that means in another week or so I'll start losing weight again. I can't really complain too much cuz I can see the love handles beginning to disappear and I'm getting more of a nice "V" shape.

Well I'm doing well since I'm beginning week 3. Here goes trying to keep going indefinitely.

The winds have changed...

Posted on 8/21/2005 11:41:00 PMby with No comments
I don't know what has changed but it feels like the storm has finally broken. For a good portion of the summer, especially since the beginning of August life has been getting more and more stressful. It seems like its been building and building and its just more than I can deal with and then suddenly within the last few days its simply gone.

Don't get me wrong, I still have a million things on my agenda and nothing is really done but the stress and the rushed feeling I had is gone. I feel more confident that things will work out right and that everything will settle into pleace.

Its also nice to have the students back. I had forgotten how empty Worcester is in the summer until I was driving down Highland Street last night and saw all the Freshman walking around and enjoying the evening. Worcester really feels alive again.

It was nice to see Nick last night. I don't get to see him as often as I'd like and I'll miss him when he goes to Seattle. Hopefully we'll stay in touch.

Finally, my new favorite song is Anna Nalick - "Breathe (2AM)"

Getting Fit, Staying Fit

Posted on 8/12/2005 07:01:00 PMby with No comments
Well its been two weeks and I've made it to the gym 8 times in the last two weeks. 8 out of 10 is not bad and I hit all of the important 6 days that I was aiming for. My new plan is to go running at Bally's 3 times a week on Monday, Wednesay and Friday. I intend to go swimming on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but sometimes I just need a mid-week day of rest to sleep in a bit. The swimming days are simply to do some excercise that isn't impact. If I run daily I get shin-splints way too easily. I started on August 1 at about 1.25 miles. On 8/3 I got to 1.5 miles, and on 8/5 I got to 2 miles and have maintained 2 miles all this week too.

I've lost two pounds and half an inch off my waist, and I feel better and more energized than I have in a long time. I'm hoping I've lost more weight and waist size but I promised myself I wouldn't weigh/measure myself except on Mondays. All the measurements can all fluctuate from day to day so there's no point in stressing myself out by doing daily measurements.

I'm not looking for any quick weight loss or body change. I'd rather this be a nice slow process that I can sustain and keep the weight off. I'll keep everyone updated on how its all going, but I think its a good sign that for two weeks I've been able to get up at 5:30 - 6:00 AM on a daily basis for two weeks.

Vegi update

Posted on 8/08/2005 01:38:00 PMby with No comments
Yup so Dani is once again a member of the carnivore family. She was making some headway after a few false starts but given her already decreased palette of foods to choose from taking meat of the menu wasn't working. As of last Wednesday the experiment was ended with a jumbo hot dog. Yum. Just as well, she's really not the vegitarian type (no offense to any vegitarian's out there). Welcome back Dani!

That's all folks....

Well its the end of an era. Queer as folk has played its final episode. I'm not sure how to feel about this. I have so many memories attached to this show. Its the only thing I've consistantly done week after week for the last 5 years.

It started out when we got Showtime specifically to watch QAF in WA3. Then the next year Kyle got his condo and we started watching it there. I met Chad through Kyle and ended up dating him for a while. Every year we'd all go back to Kyle's on a weekly basis to watch it.

Well the gayest show on television is over. No apologies. No regrets. Overall I wasn't fully happy with the ending but are you ever happy with an ending? The boys grew up and moved on with their lives. We will too.
