Enter randomness:

I created a new About Me page. I thought it needed to be updated to take into account my recent struggles. The original “The Old Me” page didn’t really fit anymore, because that old Steve still very much exists.
I also updated the Progress page to make it a little neater and to take into account BMI and Body Fat readings. Now I just have to keep up with the thing.
There will probably some other changes on the blog pages or overall appearance coming. The changes will probably be small (because I really do like the layout), but if you see anything wonky going in, it’s probably because I’m messing around with stuff behind the scenes.
I have successfully counted calories for two days now. Tuesdays calorie count came to 1195, while Wednesdays came in at 1695. Overall I’m thinking I want to try for 1800-2000 calories though. I can already see that if I keep this up, I’m going to become really obsessive about it, which could pose some problems.
I have also not eaten out at all these past two days. I’m ashamed to admit it but that is kind of record. Bah!
The Maryland Wine Festival is this weekend. Don’t know if I am going yet but I know it won’t be as damaging as the Buffalo Wing Festival
Speaking of which, I RSVP’d for next years Buffalo Wing Festival. Anyone want to come with?
My endurance is shot to hell. I went from being able to go on long walks/runs or long cardio sessions to maybe being able to maybe handle 30 minutes before getting super exhausted. It sucks.
Flaxseed keeps getting stuck in my teeth.

That is all. Have a nice day.

I can haz award!

Not much new to report in this neck of the woods, but I DID get an award!

The award is from the awesome Molly, and the rules for it are as such:

1. Thank the person who gave you the award.

2. Share seven things about yourself.
3. Nominate fifteen newly discovered blogs.
4. Let your nominees know about the award.

I’ve thanked Molly, but I will again (thanks!), so I guess next up to seven things about me. I’ll try to keep it new, but I don’t remember how much or what I’ve already thrown out there.

1. I am addicted to the original Law and Order. Even though it’s been cancelled, you can still pretty much watch it on TNT at any time in the day, and I will. I never got into Law and Order: SVU or Law and Order: Criminal Intent though.

2. I would love to become a fiction writer one day, but I can’t get my thoughts together long enough to make this happen. Writing this blog is hard enough.

3. If I had to eat cheeseburgers everyday for the rest of my life, I’d have no issue with that.

4. I think it’s possible that I may be the only person in the world who thinks Family Guy is overrated. I will watch it, sure, but the Simpsons is a thousand times better.

5. I’m having issues trying to think of stuff that is even remotely interesting.

6. I have two cats, they are my babies. I am totally cool with being considered a crazy cat person.

7. I want a tattoo. Not sure what, or where, but when I get in better shape I want to get one.

I’m going to cheat a bit on 3 and 4, because I discover new blogs all the time and will feel like a tool if I skip someone…so I will award everyone! WooT! Congrats to you

Have a great day!

Wiiiiiiings!

First off, I hope everyone has had an awesome Labor Day weekend!

Secondly, oh..my..god..I ate SO MANY wings!

I went up to Buffalo, NY for the weekend for the National Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival, and I had a blast.

The festival was alot of fun and was delicious. And while I didn’t nearly as many wings as Sonya Thomas, I certainly ate my fair share

That isn’t the only thing I did all weekend though. I spent a good portion of yesterday in Niagara Falls. I had only been once before, but that was only to exchange currency at a casino. This time I actually got to enjoy more of the sights, including the Cave of the Winds and the Maid of the Mist boat ride. I don’t really any pictures, as I left my phone in the car so it wouldn’t get soaked (like I did), but it was a blast. I also went over to the Canadian side for some gambling (which didn’t work out really well) and to see some of the sites over there as well.

All in all, GREAT weekend, but like I said last week, I know I’m not going to lose any weight this fact. In fact, there will probably be quite a gain. I knew the diet was going to be shit, but unfortunately there wasn’t a lot of working out to offset it either, like I wanted to at least try to do. But I braced myself for it, so won’t be suprised or dissapointed.

I will be working my ass off this next week, though

Have a great day, everyone!

I just bought new stuffs!

An Omron HBF-306C Fat Loss Monitor…

…and the Accu-Measure Fitness 3000 Personal Body Fat Tester.

Both basically do the same thing, and that is to measure your body fat. The main thing I wanted was the Omron monitor, but the calipers were only an extra $5, so I figured why not.

I’ve been wanting to get something to measure my body fat for some time. I know weight alone isn’t always the best indicator for getting healthier, and I’d like to be able to note any gains in muscle. Plus, way back when, I made a New Years Resolution to achieve 15% body fat. My progress may have derailed (and exploded) by then, so that Resolution may not happen this year, but it is still an ultimate goal.

Once I get them (I placed the order about 10 minutes ago, and got the Super Saver shipping) hopefully I’ll be able to incorporate this reading into my weekly status reports.

Do you measure you body fat? If so, do you use calibers or a digital reader or something else?

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Another serious post…

So, yeah, overall the last two posts were kind of bummers, even if they did show me maybe starting to find resolve and getting back on track and all that fun stuff.

So today, you get this:

Potty humor FTW!

Have a good one, ya’ll!
