Hacker Diet update week 24 Current mood: apathetic Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes Monthly is the way to go with these Diet updates, as nothing is really changing much. 24 weeks. Wow... nearly half a year. Who would have thought I could've stuck with this so long? Well I did This months goal is to reach 250 lbs. and I was doing well till last weeks business trip. Yes it is mostly my fault, due to lack of willpower, but all my devices, (planning, abstaining, good choices) where useless in such a fish out of water scenario. I couldn't plan any meals. I could cook for myself. I didn't have nutritional info. I had no support system at all, and I fell off the wagon.. so much so, that I gained 4.5 pounds in 3 days. Due to the fact that I gained it so quickly, I was able to remove it quickly also, and am back down to where I was before the trip... mostly, check the chart for details Sunday I wanted pizza. I count Pizza at 250/slice. So I had 1050 calories, and ate half a pizza... Yesterday morning, I skipped breakfast, had a tiny lunch, and with my 1000+ calories... ate the other half of the pizza. I feel sick this morning... so no breakfast again. I bounced up a bit yesterday. probably because of the half a pizza... calories or no, half a pizza weighs something, and since the "excess" isn't gone yet.. it will weight me down for another day or two. 250 is looking hard to get to this month... it was an ambitious goal for sure, but it would have been nice.. I'll definately be under 250 by my birthday (Feb 21... for those who care.. LOL) actually, I'm hoping to be down to at least 241.1 by my birthday... an even 100 lb loss... what a nice gift... Then I am DEFINATELY going to the strip club. Girlfriend or no girlfriend.. I'm not getting stopped this time.. -allen 5:19 AM - 3 Comments - 2 Kudos

	~~Krista~~	Wow. Girlfriend or no girlfriend, you're going to the strip club? As if that wasn't a dig at me. Let me remove the knife from my back now. And when you DO find that girlfriend, ask her if she has a brother :) Posted by ~~Krista~~ on Jan 16, 2007 10:13 AM

	Allen	Oh stop... I'm just saying that I have do something for me. Purely selfishly without worring about others' feelings. I think I deserve it after that much work and effort. Posted by Allen on Jan 16, 2007 12:53 PM

Oddly contented...

Oddly contented... So what I didn't tell y'all about was the fact that my mac mini ate itslef the 4th time I turned it on... It wanted to do a firmware update, the instructions weren't clear, and it died. Wouldn't even POST (If there is such a thing with apples..) Wouldn't read from a boot disk.. nothing.. fried.. caput. So yesterday evening things started to change. I got an e-mail indicating that my flowers for my mom, where delivered. I wondered.. Where the hell did they deliver them too, and how to I begin to contemplate to fix the issues..I figured I'd deal with it later Well, I last night, before I went to work, I stopped by the apple store to see if they could do anything. Apparently, you need to put your name on the website in the morning to get an appointment for tech support at a store in the evening... who knew? Well I asked nicely if I could wait around just to see if someone would not show up for their appoint ment.. and one of the techs, came out, took my little computer, and went in the back to see if he could fix it up real quick like, (Which there is a way to do apparently, had I ANOTHER mac with which to do it.) and He brought it back to life! Yes! I also bought a book on how to use a mac, if you are used to PC's.. 1 black cloud GONE! I got home last night, and my mother said she got the flowers! Apparently the regular fedex guy was out, and the temp guy couldn't figure out how to get into the parking lot, and called it a bad address.. (also I think i still put the wrong zip code, but the street was right, and the zip code I used was right next store.. so ... it didn't really matter) So the Fedex company, called the regular guy, who called the temp guy, and told him how to get in, and they were delivered! 2 Black clouds GONE! wierd how one day you life looks like a complete disaster, and in a matter of hours, things clear themselves up. Hope: I guess it's not a bad thing. that's my new slogan.. lol... besides the fact I've been relegated to full time IT guy at work, today is going ok. :) As for the diet updates.. nothing much really happens from week to week, or between weeks. So I think I'm switching to monthly, or If-something-happens-sooner type updates. The charts are still being updated nearly every day. My goal this month is to hit 250 by the end of the month.. ambitious for sure, but I think I may be able to pull it off. 5:35 AM - 0 Comments - 0 Kudos

Happy birthday, have some dead flowers.

Happy birthday, have some dead flowers. Current mood: pessimistic Damnit damnit damnit. Try to do something nice and it frickin blows up in my face. I swear I have some kind of black cloud following me around lately. Do this huh? Next time you see me... hug me. Guy/Girl doesn't matter. I just need a frickin hug. So Today is my mom's birthday... the big 5 1. ok so a few days ago, I thought I'd do something nice and surprise her with flowers on her birthday. I log on to proflowers.com. and place the order. I feel good. Today, I'm anxiously tracking the package, when I notice the address is wrong. Not just 3 doors down wrong, ZIP code wrong. Damnit. Nothing I can do. Fedex caught it finally when they relized the address doesn't exist. But what can I do? nothing. It needs to ping back to proflowers, they need to call me, I give them the right address, they give it to fedex, then maybe in 3 or 4 days the flowers are delivered. 3 or four days for flowers. without water. If I'm lucky she won't even get them at all.. imagine walking into work next week, and peeling open a fedex box to find dead flowers and an empty water vase. This sucks. I hate trying to be nice.. it never works. ok.. rarely works. on a side note.. there is no "Shitty" mood for this blog... 3:34 PM - 0 Comments - 0 Kudos

Year in review.

Year in review. Well, 2006 is over, I've met some new friends, and grown closer to old ones. I've gone though many changes. And yet other things haven't changed. I'm going to try to recall the whole year a la Jimmy Buffet. I tried to go month by month but sometimes not much happened, or I don't recall which month something happened. January. My mother turned 50. I threw her a big surprise party. Work was good. I was named "King of hacks" lol.. I was happy. February. I turned 28. Is it such a big deal? This was the first time I ever worked on my birthday. My wife moved out to New Mexico, pretty much without me knowing, that hurt, but since we were separated she had to do what was right for her. Had a hell of a fight with Kristin on my birthday, that sucked. March. Things began to fall apart with Kristin rather quickly. Looking back, I see how much of an ass I was. April not good. Tried to make things work with Kristin, but I had issues. May even worse. Last time spent with Kristin. June. Alone pretty much. I got to doing internet dating again. But things were going no where mostly. I became a roofer! lol.. replaced a few shingles. July July 4 sucked. really sucked. I missed Kristin so much I got sick to my stomach. I dragged a beach chair out to the beach to watch the fireworks but remember I could barely see them through my tears. I started to change. I was changing who I was inside. I started getting rid of all those bad habits that not only brought me down but drove away someone I loved. Near the mid and end of the month, I started internet dating again pretty heavily. Lots of girls. had a different one all the time.. Lots of dates, and None really clicked. I thought I had something with one, but that one went out the window quickly. This is the month I started talking with Krista. August. I started my diet, and had my first date with Krista. This was a good month. I went to Coney island for the first time. Krista and I became an item. September I became a true plumber... lol I was so fucked... adaptors, fittings, multiple trips to home depot.. if I never fix a sink again, it'll be too soon. Apple picking. hmm.. October. Krista went into the hospital. Jesus was I scared. I went to see her as often as I could; she pulled though... but her gaul bladder didn't. My diet was kicking ass.. I got below 300 pounds! Hockey! I bought partial season tickets for the devils.. a little expensive but worth every penny. I got to go on the ice! and Played score-0! lol didn't make it.. but it was a good time. I went trick or treating... lol.. November. No too eventful. It was extremely rough diet wise... I still lost weight, but it was a rough roller coaster ride. December. started well.. ended bad. Broke up with Krista. Still not 100% sure why. Christmas was sad. New years was worse. ...... Would I do things differently? Probably not. Not that I understand everything or why things happened. But I am here where I am, and although I'm not happy, I am surviving, and advancing I think... sometimes slowly, but I am still growing and learning, and loving, even if I can't always figure out how to properly show it. ..... Have you read this far? Well here's a treat, what is in the future? 1. Hmm My diet continues. Goal is 220.. It used to be 200, but I think that wil ble way too skinny. 2. I need to figure out my feelings. It seems as soon as I love someone, I turn into a jerk. Why? 3. Float for a bit. My life is always so planned, I need to float for a bit, but not hurt anyone I care about in the process..
