Lose 20 pounds (read all 45 entries…)
Under 240... 1/2 way there

I weighed in this morning at 239.0—down 11 pounds. More than half way there. I’ve been pretty much stuck at 240-241 the past week so this is a welcome move.



Create weekly plans (read all 2 entries…)
Week of May 20-26

Every day—An hour or two of programming in the evening. Clean 30 minutes @ lunch (on weekdays, any time on weekends). Read 65 pages. Lumosity.

I didn’t do Lumosity last week, because somehow daily email reminders got turned off in my account! No idea how that happened… Also, I haven’t read 65 pages since I returned from Lincoln, almost two weeks ago. Not sure why it’s so difficult for me.

Monday—
  • (already passed this one… getting off to a late start this week).
Tuesday—
  • Clean desk and home office area, whatever I can finish in 1/2 an hour.
  • Get in a second workout. I hike in the mornings, and it’d be great if I could do something to burn an extra 600 calories on T/Th.
  • Plant two small Pothos.
Wednesday—
  • Clean living “room”. vacuum couches, dust bookshelves. Hopefully find permanent homes for all the stuff piled on top of the couches.
  • Afternoon workout.
Thursday—
  • Clean dining.
  • Mount shelf. I need new supports—I think the ones I bought are too small.
  • plant new BIG cane plant. Hopefully it won’t die on me.
  • Second workout in afternoon.
Friday—
  • Clean floors. Should be finished with whirlwind cleaning of apartment by then.
  • Afternoon workout.
Saturday—
  • Local long hike. Maybe Taliesin Overlook again?
  • First cleaning after getting the baseline done. Should be interesting to see how long it takes.
Sunday—
  • Get stuff ready to sell on ebay. Been waiting too long to start this.

PLANNING, DAMIT!

I’m going on a hike in Sedona this morning, and wanted to take my camera with me. Unfortunately, I forgot to charge a battery. :( I guess phone camera pics will have to do.
