This computer is awesome! Runs super quiet and fast and cool. Not the best at graphics but I don’t really need much and it’s still better than my old computer. Plus, the care and documentation provided by Puget Systems is far and away the best I’ve ever experienced from a computer seller.

A friend recently invited me to track my daily diet and exercise at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/. She’d lost a lot of weight and I was lamenting the fact that I’d gained a lot of weight since being injured and/or sick for the last 8 months. The site sounded appealing, so when the invitation came, I jumped on it.

So far I’ve been doing it for 4 days, and it’s helping me monitor and motivate my diet and exercise. It’s like a public scoreboard where I can post my daily efforts at improving my fitness, and I’m optimistic that I’ll soon have impressive results to share.

It’ll go on until I either fall injured or sick and am no longer able to pursue the task, or perhaps depression will creep up and sap my motivation. Or perhaps a solid and sustained effort will yield disappointing results and discourage my further use. These things have always happened in the past, so why should this time be any different?

But let’s see if I can drop 30 lbs. How long could it take?

Holy shit, what a terrible movie! The movie physics were so stupid it wasn’t even fun for me. I liked the hacker kid character, though. He was pretty cool. :)

The day after Thanksgiving, my cold really kicked in. It still wasn’t too unpleasant, but I knew it was coming hard. It served me warning. I relaxed.

On Saturday SHAZAAM! My fucking skull almost exploded from the pressure. Mucous was filling every crevice in my head, and my skull felt like it was about to give out. The only thing that kept me from wallowing in extreme misery was watching movies, so I began a movie marathon.

The congestion became worse at night, and when I’d lie down I’d immediately convulse with coughing fits. That meant no sleep for about 4 days, so I watched most of those movies at night instead of sleeping. Not that sleep was even possible. When I got too exhausted to cough, I’d sleep for a couple hours and then spend a half hour trying to clear my lungs.

If I weren’t so fat, I’d have the most amazing abs!
