Up way to early- January 30, 2008 I went to bed around 11:30 pm and my bladder woke me up around 4:58 am. I wound up in my recliner around 5:08 am thinking I could nap for another 90 minutres. That is when my wife's Motorola Razr phone beeped real loud because it had a reminder on it. I went and picked it up and cleared the reminder and brought it back with me to my chair so I would not have to get up again should it go off. What I should have done is open a window and throw it out on the front lawn for the ducks to get it..http://jcmoffitt.blogspot.com/2008/01/up-way-to-early.html Good choices- January 29, 2008 I went over to the hungry cougar this morning and smelled the smells of eggs, bacon, sausage, gravy and biscuits. I overcame the urge to splurge and get what I wanted. It was difficult but I know that if I justify eating what I want when I want to then I will never get this weight off. Instead I got Kellogs Special K cereal , 2% milk and a banana for breakfast. Last night at bowling one of the ladies on the other team who has known me for several years asked me if I had been losing weight. .http://jcmoffitt.blogspot.com/2008/01/good-choices.html What choices will we make- January 21, 2008 Today is a good day. The rain has stopped and the sun is out and it is cold outside. I went to the gym and worked out for an hour and that is the first time I have done that in months. Back in December I started walking the five flights of stairs in my office building and walking. I am ready to go to the next level which means going back to the gym and reaquainting myself with the elliptical trainer and weight machines. I had a good time in our church service yesteday. The praise and...http://jcmoffitt.blogspot.com/2008/01/what-choices-will-we-make.html Blah day- January 17, 2008 Today seems to be one of those BLAH days. I am not really depressed about anything in particular but I am not really excited about much either. I am sort of just costing through the day hoping that things stay quiet around here and nothing breaks. In some ways I am like the Maytag repairman, part of my job is to fix servers and associated peripherals or hardware if it breaks. I do both hardware and software monitoring , repair and reporting. My job title is server analyst but I am also a..http://jcmoffitt.blogspot.com/2008/01/blah-day.html Healthy choices- January 16, 2008 Good morning fellow calorie counters and friends. I am happy to report that instead of buying a biscuit with sausage egg and cheese this morning I purchased Kellogs specia K individual container at the Hungry Cougar across from my work place this morning. I was so tempted to get the former but chose the later in an effort to make better choices. Instead of doing what I am used to doing I am chosing to retrain myself to realize that part of losing weight is losing bad thinking and renewing..http://jcmoffitt.blogspot.com/2008/01/healthy-choices.html Starting over Tuesday 2008- January 15, 2008 I blew it big time with my calories yesterday coming in at 2300+ The only thing that saved my keister is that I burned 2450 calories with walking , climbing five flights of stairs twice at work and two hours of bowling. I probably burned more than that with my other daily activities but I dont feel like micro managing every single activity like typing, reading etc. I want to keep my calories around 1800 a day. Some days I get close but it is usually on the MORE than that side of the...http://jcmoffitt.blogspot.com/2008/01/starting-over-tuesday-2008.html Monday all over again- January 14, 2008 I had a busy weekend but managed to get some personal TO DO things accomplished. That is always a good thing. One of those tasks was to redo the church website and update it. One of the tasks was to wipe Vista OS off my laptop and put XP Professional back on it. Those two tasks took most of the day Saturday to accomplish. Luckily for me I was working with my buddy Luke from church so that was nice and made the time pass by nicely. I loaded Dreamweaver on my laptop so I can learn how to...http://jcmoffitt.blogspot.com/2008/01/monday-all-over-again.html Starting over 2008- January 2, 2008 Today is January 1, 2008 and for some of us this is a day of reflection and renewed purpose as we turn our hearts and minds towards the New Year. Instead of making New Year resolutions that I can not keep I have decided to learn from the failures of 2007 and to start over in 2008. Like most years 2007 was full of good intentions, successes and failures. The reason I want to reflect on this last year and all that transpired is not for the purpose of beating me up. It is so easy to be super...http://jcmoffitt.blogspot.com/2008/01/starting-over-2008.html |
