Getting in shape

My wife and I have both decided it’s time to get back into shape. I’ve managed to pack on a few extra pounds since I stopped cycling when I moved to the US, and wouldn’t mind losing them. So we’re going to try out the Discovery Health Channel’s National Body Challenge.

In 12 weeks, my goal is to drop about 15-20 pounds and try to keep it off. It’ll mean changing some of our cooking and eating habits, which I think is going to be the tough part. Starts at the end of the week on Jan 10. This ought to be fun 🙂

Friday Five, late again

This is only late because there wasn’t a new one up when I checked on Friday, and never got around to checking again later on.

What one thing are you most looking forward to . . .

1. …today?
Lunch with my wife.

2. …over the next week?
Lunches with my wife before she heads back to school.

3. …this year?
Getting more papers written

4. …over the next five years?
Enjoying my work even more.

5. …for the rest of your life?
Spending it with my wife.

My blog reviewed!

Submitted the blog for review to the folks over at Weblog Review a while ago, and yesterday it got reviewed. A very fair and kind review and the reviewer (fembat) seemed to accurately assess the purpose of this blog (I’m certainly not after mass appeal with it).

Thanks TWR 🙂

Happy new year!

Happy new year everyone! Hope 2004 brings many happy times and significant accomplishments for everyone.

I plan to spend a good portion of today relaxing in front of the TV flipping between the Mythbusters marathon on Discovery channel and the MadTV marathon on Comedy Central.

Things I want to accomplish this year:

  • Finish developing my radiology equipment inventory/survey database more
  • Work out more
  • Get my wife’s credit card paid off, and a big chunk of my credit card paid down
  • Finish some research projects and publish more
  • Jazz up this blog a little bit
