Week 7, and I’ve gone up to 172. It’s been a tough week staying on track with the diet. One of those weeks where I’ve just been too lazy to do much cooking of any kind. So I’ve probably been eating out a few more times than I should have been.
I’ve also been really lazy about getting a workout routine started. It’s bad, I know. I need to do some form of exercise that I enjoy, and quite frankly, working out in a gym or health club is not something I enjoy. And if it’s not something I enjoy, I’m just not going to be able to commit to doing it.
What I really want to do is be out on a bike cycling down the road. First I need to get a new bike. And all the requisite accessories. That’s a little ways down the road though, and probably won’t be happening soon. So I’ll have to find something else in the meantime.
Business card fun
Thanks to Melissa, I’ve just wasted about 15 minutes and sacrificed a dozen of my business cards building a couple of business card cubes.
Who knew business cards could be so much fun. And all this time, I’ve just been giving the darned things away!

Big impact movies
CNN: Woman dies watching ‘Passion’.
Wow. 6 months ago, there wasn’t a film distributer in the world that was going to touch this movie with a 10 meter pole. Too controversial, too anti-semetic they said. Now it’s all the rage. Church groups are buying out theaters and urging everyone to go see it.
You might even die from it.
Ok, ok, it’s probably not quite fair to say that about this movie. But I wonder if now they’ll add a disclaimer or something. Or perhaps a new rating.
This movie rated RH: Restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian. People with heart conditions require accompanying medical personnel.
Don’t try this at home
All I can say to this is…whoa.
Blood donation #16
Chalked up my 16th blood donation today since moving to SC. That means over the past 3 years or so, I’ve donated close to 8 liters (2 gallons) of blood. It also means I’ve made 48 or 49 donations since I started donating blood. And since each donation can be used up to 3 different ways, that means I have probably helped as many as 150 people!
So what are you waiting for? Click the button and make your appointment. You could potentially be helping out 3 other people with just an hour of your spare time. Starve a mosquito, give blood!
BTW, I nabbed the image from the givelife.org website…hope they don’t mind.
