The Reuseum held an awesome workshop back in April based on Make’s Joule Thief weekend project. There were over a dozen people in there using space on 5 workbenches, plenty of soldering irons, and plenty of knowledge being passed around.  It was nice to see a complete range of skill levels there, from people [...]

It has been a very busy couple of weeks. Makayla had her cranio surgery on Monday, so between the preparation and doctor appointments last week, and keeping the kids rounded up this week, I haven’t had any extra time to blog or do much of anything online.
Just a quick rundown of what I’ve been [...]

Just when I want to get back in gear, I get sick again. I’m finally getting over it now after seeing the doc, so I’m hoping to hit the ground running again quickly.

Its been a very trying last couple of weeks.  I’m falling behind a little in a couple of areas.  Time to put the nose to the grindstone and catch back up.

I decided today that I’m a socialist.  This doesn’t mean I want our country to become a socialist state, but I believe in the socialist ideals.  The socialism that first comes to mind (government setting everybody’s wages, telling people when and where they can get medical treatment) is not what I am talking about, this [...]

Overall I’m doing well and have almost made it through February and still working on my goals.  Since most goals/resolutions are forgotten by Valentine’s Day, the fact that I am still working toward them even if I’m not fully meeting some of them is an accomplishment in itself.

Goal Update – 7 Weeks

Still going strong!  I’m tending to slack off a little on my blogging goal though, so I need to be careful there.

I’m feeling very good about my progress this week.  I was home sick yesterday so I ate more sodium (threw off my weight) and watched more TV than normal, but that is an exception, not the rule.  Overall I did well if yesterday is factored out.

Goal update – 5 weeks

Where did January go? It seems like it was only yesterday that I was mulling over the goals I wanted to set, and now I’ve made it almost 10% through the year and doing well with my goals.  Don’t most goals get dropped sometime in February?  I’m not going to be that statistic this year.

Goal update – 4 weeks!

Four weeks in, I can’t believe it has been a month.  Overall I’m doing wonderful, though I’m a little frustrated with my weight.  I’m following the program, I know what I’m eating and burning thanks to the Bodybugg I wrote about yesterday, yet I’m on a plateau.
